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.

See failure as the matrix of success
The sermon explores how failure can lead to growth and success in the Christian life, using the story of Samson from the Bible as an example. The speaker encourages a positive attitude towards failure and trust in Gods plan for ones life.
