Episode notes

Mike Horton: It's hard for us to swallow some passages that describe God in ways that they do. We're going through some of the most offensive, challenging texts,. particularly personalities, people in scripture. He says we come up with a different take on things that seem at first to us to count against the authority of scripture. The greatest story ever told is not about them and how great they are, but about Christ, the only hero of the story.

All Bible stories are really just one story repeated over and over again, describing the intersection between our sinful condition and God’s relentless faithfulness. So it should come as no surprise when even the heroes of the story seem to be the most flawed. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider the shocking narrative of Samson, explaining how all stories, like Samsons’, lead us back to the glory of God.
