Samson

Outline 2: You are who you choose to be. Choose!--This outline will help students understand that we are faced with choices and temptations all the time, and our decisions have lasting ramifications in our lives and in the lives of others. (Judges 14-15; Matthew 4:1-10; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 Corinthians 10:11-13)

Outline 3: The Tender Trap--This outline will help students understand that the inherent need for communion with God is easily corrupted into the need to please our companions. If we do not wisely choose our companions, this need to please can get us into deep trouble. (Judges 16:4-22; Mark 3:13-19)

Outline 4: Real Sacrifice--This outline will help students understand that Samson had selfish motives when he sacrificed himself to kill thousands of Philistines. The result was salvation for a specific people from a specific physical enemy for a specific time in history. Jesus allowed himself to be sacrificed, and love was His motive. The result was salvation for all people from sin and death for all time. (Judges 16:23-31; Matthew 27:45-54) Topics: Deception, Delilah, Friendship, God's Plan, God's Will, Influence, Peer Pressure, Prophecy, Sacrifice, Samson, Temptations, Temptation
