Aim: To be fully-effective Christians in a dark world.
Doctrine: The whole world revolves around the church—(and even just one Christian). Both the Israelites' and the Philistines' prospects focused on Samson, who was but a flawed servant of the great King (God).
Exegesis: How a one-man wrecking crew typically operates: his deeds affect everyone—the church and the world (vv. 9-13); his strength comes from the Holy Spirit (vv. 14-17); his heart's revival is the result of God's miraculous grace (vv. 18-20).
Further application: how we Christians are to be useful one-man wrecking crews: we are to heartily fulfill our callings in Christ with a passion to edify the church and glorify the Lord.
Key verse: v. 15 ''[Samson] found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.''
