  • Why John 5 Still Confronts Us Today

    Why John 5 Still Confronts Us Today
    Sep 23 2025

    John 5 presents Jesus not merely as a miracle worker, but as the very Son of God, worthy of honor and obedience. Today, this passage challenges us in profound ways. Do we cling to tradition and rules while missing the living Savior standing before us? Do we recognize Jesus as Lord, not just over sickness and death, but over our daily lives and final judgment? In this episode of Christian Talk, we unpack John 5 verse by verse, discovering the freedom, authority, and eternal life that Christ alone can offer.

  • Samson’s Riddle and the Power of God’s Plan. Judges 14

    Samson’s Riddle and the Power of God’s Plan. Judges 14
    Sep 16 2025
    In Judges 14, the story of Samson begins to unfold as a man set apart by God, yet wrestling with his own desires. Against his parents’ wishes, Samson seeks to marry a Philistine woman—a decision that sparks tension and seems to go against God’s law. But Scripture reveals that the Lord was working through this situation to confront Israel’s enemies.

    Even in human weakness and flawed choices, God’s sovereign plan moves forward.This chapter also features one of the most dramatic moments in Samson’s life: his encounter with a roaring lion.

    Filled with the Spirit of the Lord, Samson tears the beast apart with his bare hands. Later, the lion’s carcass becomes the basis of a riddle posed at his wedding feast—a challenge that sets off a chain of betrayal, anger, and divine judgment. Through this gripping narrative, we see how God uses even personal struggles and unexpected events to accomplish His purposes for His people.

  • Samson’s Final Prayer: Strength in Defeat

    Samson’s Final Prayer: Strength in Defeat
    Sep 14 2025
    In today’s Finish the Race podcast, we dive deep into Judges 16, one of the most gripping and sobering accounts in all of Scripture—the downfall of Samson. Once chosen by God to deliver Israel, Samson’s extraordinary strength was no match for his unchecked passions. Seduced by Delilah’s persistence and blinded by his own pride, he revealed the secret of his Nazarite vow, leading to his capture, humiliation, and eventual death at the hands of the Philistines.This story is not just about physical strength but about spiritual weakness. Samson’s fall is a timeless warning of how temptation, compromise, and misplaced trust can strip believers of their calling and effectiveness. Yet even in his lowest moment—eyes gouged, enslaved, and mocked—Samson cried out to God, and the Lord heard him. In one final act of faith, Samson brought judgment on the Philistines, proving that God’s purposes prevail even through human failure.Join us as we uncover the lessons of Samson’s tragic yet redemptive ending. We’ll explore how believers today can resist the snares of temptation, guard the gifts God has entrusted to them, and finish their race strong in Christ. Whether you’re wrestling with weakness or striving to remain faithful, Judges 16 will challenge you to examine your walk and rely fully on the Lord’s strength—not your own.
