Judges 13 & 14

In chapters thirteen through sixteen we meet Sampson, the last and worst of the Judges in the book. It is interesting that when God wants to do something amazing He often sends a baby. (Think Hannah and Samuel, Moses and his parents, Elizabeth and John the Baptist, Mary and Jesus)

the Angel of the Lord comes to the wife of Minoah. She seems to have a deeper commitment to the Law than her husband. M.inoah seems more interested in being in control vs. obedient

In chapter fourteen we see Sampson breaking a number of the laws in the Torah. It is interesting to see that someone so selfish and self-centered is used by God to begin the deliverance of Israel from the Philistines. 

These non-denominational Bible studies are led by Dr. Val and recorded live. Some 20-25 men meet weekly at 6:30 AM for an hour. They study and discuss a passage from Scripture. Questions are encouraged and often lead to interesting rabbit trails that help us discover and process additional Biblical truths.
