Samson - the importance of not wasting the call and the gift of God
The author discusses the story of Samson and the importance of protecting and valuing the gifts and callings that God has given us. The gift is not ours, but lent to us by God, and it comes with conditions. Consecration and holiness to God are necessary for the gift to operate in our lives, and we must remain aware that the gift belongs to God and has a price. The power of the gift is great, but it requires a life of abstinence, discipline, and inner struggle. The sermon ends with a call to consecrate our lives to the Lord and seek His face.

Living in normal times
The speaker urges the audience to abandon a casual approach to Christianity and instead be passionate and insistent in seeking God. He uses the story of the Shunammite woman who persistently invited Elisha into her home as an example of how to approach God and emphasizes the importance of discernment in choosing a good church or ministry to support and bless. Additionally, he encourages men to take on spiritual leadership in their homes and communities.
