Samson’s Faith
OUTLINE
Undergirded by God’s Amazing Grace
INTRODUCTION
Samson was consecrated as a Nazarite at birth. A Nazarite was to be separated unto Jehovah. The word nazir, which the word is derived, means “to separate”. His vow as a Nazarite included (1) His hair goes uncut (2) Refrain from partaking the fruit of the vine (3) Forbidden to contact with the dead (Judges 13:4, 5, 7, 14 c.f. Numbers 6:2-21).
Judges 13:4-5 (KJV) 4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: 5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Samson is the twelfth and last Judge raised by God to deliver Israel out their enemies’ oppression. This was Samson’s life mission given by God even before his birth told by the angel of the LORD to his mother.

Rahab’s Faith
OUTLINE
(1) Fearfully Confessed the True God
(2) Courageously Followed the True God
INTRODUCTION
Paul commented Rahab similarly in Hebrews 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Rahab can hardly be called a role model of faith for who she is, a harlot, a prostitute. A woman of particular low morals, she sold her body for filthy lucre, she sold herself without regard to reputation, without regard to personal dignity. She was an immoral woman. This woman lived in the gutter or the back streets of society. She was undeniably a guilty sinner, rebellious, unclean and wicked.
