Judges 16:4-6

Most people have heard the story of Samson and Delilah.  And if nothing else, they know that somehow, she tricked Samson into telling her the secret of his great strength.  And then she brought in some of his enemies, and they captured him.  But how did he get into that position in the first place?  What went wrong? Today, Pastor Mark describes what he calls “The Samson Effect”.  It’s where you start with some teeny, tiny compromise with sin.  And you’re sure you can handle it without getting into trouble.  And sometimes, God will even rescue you from your own folly.  But – as Samson found out – tragically – that’s not always the case.
