The Need for Samson

Just as Israel’s need for the office of judge pointed to Israel’s need for a king, so Israel’s need for Samson pointed to an even greater spiritual need. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey highlights the major themes in Samson’s story, allowing us to see the story’s big picture while at the same time focusing our attention on the story’s opening scene.
