Judges 19

John 8:12-30

Psalm 60:5-12

In Judges 16, Samson falls in love with Delilah, who is bribed by the Philistines to discover the secret of his strength. Through deceit, she learns that his power lies in his uncut hair, leads to its cutting, and Samson is captured, blinded, and imprisoned by the Philistines. However, during a public spectacle, his strength returns as his hair regrows, allowing him to bring down the temple on the Philistines and himself.

Judges 17 tells of Micah, who creates an idol from stolen silver that his mother blesses. He appoints one of his sons as priest, later replacing him with a wandering Levite who agrees to become his personal priest, setting the stage for greater religious corruption in Israel.

Will Samson's final act of destruction redeem his earlier failings and lead to victory over the Philistines?

In John 7:45-52, the temple guards return empty-handed to the chief priests and Pharisees, who scold them for not arresting Jesus. The guards are impressed by Jesus’ teachings, but the Pharisees dismiss any possibility of a prophet coming from Galilee, deepening the divide between them and Jesus.

John 8:1-11 shifts to a poignant moment where Jesus is teaching in the temple courts, and the scribes and Pharisees bring a woman caught in adultery, testing Jesus with a dilemma: to stone her, according to the Law of Moses, or show her mercy. Jesus responds wisely by stating, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone," leading to her accusers departing one by one, and Jesus telling her, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on sin no more."

Will the wisdom of Jesus' response transform the hearts of those who witnessed it, leading them to rethink their own righteousness?

As Samson continues on his path of destruction, will his uncontrollable rage lead to his downfall, or will it serve a greater purpose in God's plan?

In John 7:14-44, Jesus boldly teaches in the Temple during the Feast of Tabernacles, surprising many with His deep understanding despite not having formal education.

Amidst rising tensions, officers are sent to arrest Jesus, but they return empty-handed, captivated by His words.

Will the growing division and disbelief lead to Jesus’ arrest, or will His teachings continue to inspire and perplex those who hear Him?
