We're learning more today from the life of Samson about The Secret to Victorious Living. As you're turning to Judges 13 .. I cannot help but believe that you truly want to live a victorious life. Nobody in their right mind says, "I want to live a defeat life."

And when you're not willing to live the surrendered life .. you will fall and fail in the areas where you are the strongest. That's what happened to Samson and if you're not careful .. it will happen to you. There is victory in s ...
