Name: Lent 2024—Overcome: Sampson by RiverTree Community Church
Duration: 22 min 20 s
Description: This week we continue our Lent series “Overcome” by looking at the story of Sampson. In this story, Sampson is called to deliver the people from the Philistines. We see what God’s apparent plan is and then we see how Sampson ignores that plan. Sampson tries to do things his own way. We examine just how well that works out.

This week, Anna talks to us about the importance of community. We examine the trinity through the lens of community and how that gives us a model for how God wants us to live. As well as looking at other examples of community present in the Bible. Our main passage today is: Acts: 2:24-47.

This week we continue our Lent series “Overcome” by looking at the story of Jericho. In this Story, God asks the people to wage war on the city of Jericho in an unconventional manner. One that, on the surface, seems bad. But God’s instructions were less about the actions themselves and more about asking the people to have faith. How often does this happen in our lives? What does it mean when God calls us into situations that don’t make sense? How can we show faith in moments like that?
