1. Samson repeatedly refused to take responsibility for his own actions, instead blaming others for the consequences of his choices — in what areas of your life do you find it most difficult to look honestly in the mirror rather than pointing outward?

2. Bro. Neil describes how revenge requires enormous amounts of energy and planning, as seen in Samson catching 300 foxes — what might change in your relationships if you redirected that same energy toward doing good for the very people who have wronged you?

3. Samson's conflict with the Philistines began with a simple riddle at a wedding and escalated into widespread death and destruction — can you identify a time in your own life when a small offense grew into something far larger than you ever anticipated, and what could have stopped it early?

4. Romans 12 instructs believers to live at peace with everyone as far as it depends on them — what does it look like practically to absorb an offense through Christ rather than retaliating, and what spiritual disciplines make that possible?

5. God sovereignly used Samson to accomplish his purposes even while Samson was living in disobedience — what does this teach us about the nature of God's faithfulness, and does it give us license to continue in sin or motivate us toward greater obedience?

6. Samson only prayed twice in the entire book of Judges, and both times he was in desperate trouble — how would your relationship with God and your ability to respond rightly to injustice change if prayer were a consistent daily practice rather than a last resort?

7. Jesus commands his followers to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, which the sermon describes as impossible without a genuine relationship with Christ — what does it reveal about the state of your walk with God when you find these commands feel completely out of reach?

8. Bro. Neil closes by saying that no one can be like Jesus without Jesus, and that transformation requires more than head knowledge or occasional church attendance — what would it look like for you to move from knowing about Christ to truly living in full dependence on him?
