 and sweeter than honey?       The following is provided to guide you in the study of the today’s passage. These
                                    questions can also be used for family discussion with your children.


                               Listen to the sermon. What are your thoughts and observations?



                               Read Judges 13.1-25. What are the “fingerprints” of God in this
                                  passage? (In other words - what evidence is there of God’s
                                  involvement in these events?)




                                   What are the fingerprints of God in your life this year?



                                   Why do you believe God has been involved in your life in these
                                   ways?


                               Read Judges 14.1-15.20. What was God’s purpose in allowing Samson
                                  to pursue marriage to a Philistine girl against his parent’s desires?




                                   What has been stronger than a lion and sweeter than honey in
                                   your life this year? The presence and purposes of God or the lure
                                   of sin?




                               Read Judges 16.1-31. Would you consider the finale of Samson’s life a
                                  redemptive or tragic ending? Explain.


                                   What happens when God confronts sin in our lives and we persist
                                   in our unfaithfulness?


                               What has the Holy Spirit revealed to you in this week’s study?
