Samson– The Agony of Agonistes

Last updated on: February 23, 2018 at 4:45 pm By Ben Witherington

We are now in the season of ‘Christian’ films, leading up to Easter of which there are at least three: 1) Samson; 2) I Can Only Imagine (a movie about the songwriter of that popular Christian praise song), and 3) Paul the Apostle.

LAZARUS COME OUT!—- John 11 A Message Preached Feb. 18th 2018— Southern Hills UMC, Lexington Ky. Jesus shouted at a tomb containing a dead man— Lazarus come out.
