Three Principles of Providence (11)
Series: Storyline
Zach Terry
Ruth 1-4
Context: We are in a series called, ''Storyline'' that is tracking the unfolding story of God from creation to culmination through the 66 books of the bible. The purpose is to recognize that to rightly understand any story you have to see how and where it fits into the META-NARRATIVE of all of scripture.

If I were casting a movie for Samson, I'd get someone like Dewayne Johnson ''the Rock'' (or Maui from Moana) to play the part. He's just muscles on top of muscles. Samson is this amazing, supernaturally strong warrior. He was probably tan ...
