Description

What if your greatest danger isn’t weakness…but becoming strong enough to slowly stop depending on God? This Sunday, Pastor Joey Cook continues our SUNDAY SCHOOL series by walking through the life of Samson in Judges 13–16. Samson was gifted. Empowered. Strong. But underneath the outward strength was a slow inward drift away from intimacy with God. This message explores the danger of strength without surrender, the subtle nature of spiritual disconnection, and the hope that God still meets us at the end of ourselves. BIG IDEA “Your greatest danger is not weakness…it’s strength without dependence on God.” KEY THEMES • Strength vs dependence • Self-sufficiency • Spiritual drift • Abiding in Christ • The danger of disconnected success • Samson & the Gospel • Jesus as the better Samson • Daily surrender • Weakness and intimacy with God Resources & Next Steps: ❌ Scripture Referenced: Judges 16, Deuteronomy 8:11-14, John 15:5, Phillippians 2:5-8, Matthew 16:25, Luke 9:23 ❌ Visit Us: www.citychurch.tv [http://www.citychurch.tv/] ❌ Follow us on Instagram: @citychurchx

One Degree

What if the biggest thing shaping your future isn't one big decision, but a thousand small ones? This Sunday, Pastor Joey Cook continues our Wise Up series by unpacking Proverbs 13–20. In this sermon, we're reminded that wisdom isn't built in moments—it's built in rhythms. We don't become who we hope to be. We become who we're walking toward. Through the practical wisdom of Proverbs, we'll discover that our daily choices are quietly forming the people we're becoming and that following Jesus isn't a someday decision—it's a daily practice.
