We all struggle with divided loyalties—wanting to follow God, yet drawn toward what leads us away from Him.

In this week of Becoming – Living the Way of Jesus with the People of God, Pastor Mike Wilson walks through the story of Samson to show how sin slowly destroys our strength and blinds us to God’s plan. But no matter how far we fall, God’s grace invites us back home.

Scripture Highlights:

• James 1:6–8 – Divided loyalties lead to instability.

• Judges 13–16 – Samson’s divided heart and God’s redeeming grace.

• Lamentations 3:22–23 – His mercies are new every morning.

• Romans 8:13 – Put to death the deeds of the flesh.

• Luke 15:11–24 – The prodigal son’s return.

In this message, you’ll learn:

• Why sin promises freedom but produces pain.

• How to build boundaries that protect your walk with God.

• Why strength comes from surrender, not striving.

• How God’s mercy restores what sin tries to destroy.
