Set Apart by God for God

Judges 13:1-16:31  
May 17, 2026
Sermons by Mark Miller in DuPont and Kevin Pitts in Lacey

Opener: What are some things you set apart for special purposes? 

1. Interfaith marriage is not God's will for the believer. How do we help the next generation become convinced of this? If you are single, how can you guard your heart against falling for the wrong person?
2. Samson's eyes seem to be a source of much sin. What sins of the eyes do we struggle with today? How do we guard against each? 
3. All grape products were off-limits for the Nazirite; however the main goal was to ensure that the Nazirite could not possibly become drunk. What are your convictions on alcohol? If you have freedom in Christ to consume, how do you ensure you aren't getting drunk? 
4. Sexual purity was not a Canaanite priority in any way--in fact quite the opposite. We live in the same kind of sex-crazed society today. How do we stay "set apart" from the world as believers? What are some keys to winning our children's hearts to value purity? 
5. Anger and rage are serious issues with Samson. How has anger impacted your life? How do you deal with yourself when you become angry? How can we avoid sinning when we experience anger?
6. In what area of your life do you need to bend your knee to God and submit to his lordship? What sin have you become desensitized to? 
7. What else did you hope we would discuss?
