Discussion Questions

Read Judges 16:1-31.
Can someone break down what is happening in this passage?
What stood out to you from the passage?
Does anything in this passage remind you of another part of Scripture?
Do you have any questions?
What parts of the cycle do we see here in this passage? (Rebellion, Oppression, Repentance, Deliverance, and Rest & Peace)
Why do you think Samson stayed with Delilah after her repeated questions about his strength?
Even though she repeatedly tried to undermine him, Samson stayed with Delilah, someone who clearly opposed God’s purpose for his life. In what ways do we knowingly stay connected to things or people that draw us away from God’s calling?
What hope do we have, in Christ, that Samson did not?
Samson’s sin led to immediate consequences, but through Jesus, we are offered grace instead of judgment. How does knowing Christ has paid the penalty for our sin change the way we respond when we fail?
