Samson: Called but Compromised | Numbers 14:1-20

In this powerful sermon from Rock Harbor Church, Pastor Brandon Holthaus dives deep into the life of Samson—called by God, yet compromised by his desires.

Through the lens of Judges 14, this message reveals the subtle dangers of spiritual compromise, emotional manipulation, and living by sight instead of faith. You’ll walk away challenged to evaluate your identity in Christ and inspired to fix your eyes on Jesus, not the fleeting things of the world.
