Podcasts about Samson and Delilah

What happens when we refuse to repent of sin? In Judges 16:4–22, Samson's relationship with Delilah reveals the consequences of unrepentant sin. What begins with compromise ultimately leaves him disarmed, deceived, and devastated. This message explores how sin always costs more than it promises and points us to the hope of repentance, God's grace, and the freedom found in wholehearted obedience to Him.

This week on Deadpod we're back at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco for the second set from 7/12/76, a show that has that special midsummer 1976 feel I've always loved: relaxed, open, and full of musical space, but with plenty of spark still in the band's step.  The set gets underway with a very nice "Sugaree," followed by a spirited "Samson And Delilah," and then we move into one of the great touchstones of the era — "Help On The Way" > "Slipknot!" > "Franklin's Tower," played here with real assurance and flow. From there the band keeps the momentum going with a lively "Dancing In The Street," and then settles into the deep emotional current of "Wharf Rat." After that comes "Drums," and then a wonderfully expansive "The Wheel" that helps push the set into its final stretch. "Around And Around" closes things out with some good old-fashioned punch, and "U.S. Blues" brings us home in the encore with just the right amount of swagger. It's a set that really shows what was happening with the Dead in 1976: the band had found a new balance, and they were making music with patience, depth, and a real sense of possibility. I hope you enjoy it. Grateful Dead Orpheum Theatre San Francisco, CA  7/12/1976 - Monday     Two      Sugaree [10:53] % Samson And Delilah [6:46] % Help On The Way [4:32] > Slipknot!

Samson uproots the gates of Gaza, and then falls for Delilah, and the drama begins....

This week's Deadpod continues our visit to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, as we present the second set from May 8, 1981. After last week's well‑played opening set, the band comes out strong here with a big "Shakedown Street" into "Samson and Delilah," then digs deep with "Terrapin Station" flowing into a wide‑open "Playin' in the Band" and on through Drums and Space. Ken Kesey even joins in on harmonica during Space and the "U.S. Blues" encore, adding a unique extra flavor to the proceedings. The home stretch features a fiery "Not Fade Away," a beautiful "Stella Blue," and a rousing "Sugar Magnolia," capped by that "U.S. Blues" encore that feels just right for this time of year.   Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 5/8/1981 - Friday Two Shakedown Street [16:09] > Samson And Delilah [6:50] ; Terrapin Station[12:28] > Playing In The Band [16:27] > Drums [4:#36] > Space** [6:30] > Not Fade Away [9:17] > Stella Blue [9:24] > Sugar Magnolia [8:58] Encore U.S. Blues** [5:37] Comments **with Ken Kesey on harmonica   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:    https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod052926.mp3   May this music bring a smile ..

Judges 16:23-31 // Gabe CoyleIn this sermon, we look at the final moments of Samson's life within the temple of Dagon. We discuss the irony of the Philistines celebrating a victory they credited to a false god, while the true source of Samson's power prepared for one final display of justice. We analyze the layout of the temple, the significance of the two central pillars, and Samson's prayer for strength. Through this study, we see how God can use even a flawed and fallen leader to bring about his will, showing that his power is made perfect in weakness and that he remains faithful to his word even when his servants have stumbled.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49594463 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.04.19

There is much for us to learn from Samson's final chapter which is one of the most tragic and memorable stories in the entire Old Testament.

This week's Deadpod brings us the second set from the band's performance in Long Beach California on December 14, 1980.  This is a fine high-energy set, punctuated by guest appearances by Fora Purim, Airto and Matthew Kelly but full of outstanding renditions of some classic numbers.  I am always pleasantly surprised when I get a 'Must Have Been the Roses' and really enjoy this one. This is followed by a screaming 'Estimated Prophet'. This leads into the heart of the set, a great 'Wheel' going into an amazing Drums/Space then flowing into a otherwordly 'Other One'. This combination is really special. This leads into an emotional 'Stella Blue' then the boys ramp it up again with the rocking set closing 'Around and Around' into 'Good Lovin' .. a 'Brokedown Palace' is a perfect encore after this musical performance..  Grateful Dead Long Beach Arena Long Beach, CA 12/14/1980 - Sunday Two      Cold Rain And Snow [6:31] > Samson And Delilah [6:38] ; It Must Have Been The Roses ; Estimated Prophet [10:44] > The Wheel [8:24] > Drums (2) > The Other One [11:51] > Stella Blue > Around And Around (1) > Good Lovin' Encore      Brokedown Palace  (1) with Matthew Kelly (2) with Flora Purim and Airto  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod121925.mp3   As we travel through this holiday season I hope this finds you and yours healthy, happy and at peace.  my thanks 

http://deadshow.blogspot.com This week here on the Deadpod is a fine second set from the band's show over in London England on October 4, 1981. I'm sure you'll agree that this is a fine performance by the boys.. Some of the highlights are a smokin' Samson and Delilah, the jam between Scarlet and Fire, and an interesting 'Lost Sailor'.

Rector's Forum from 3/2/2025 at Church of Our Saviour in Jacksonville, FL.

This week's Deadpod features the second set from the band's performance at the Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, NC on October 10, 1989. A good example, I think, of why this was a high water mark in the band's performance history, this second set showcases their ability to improvise both in spots intended and unintended.  The latter I think, is shown in the opening 'Blow Away', which despite some forgotten lyrics and miscues turns into a fine opening number. The jamming in the 'Help>Slip>Frank', especially out of Franklins' and into a fine drums, is an example of some more expected, but nevertheless, successful creativity. Lastly I have to point out how good 'Not Fade Away is here.. far from being mailed in...   Grateful Dead Charlotte Coliseum Charlotte, NC 10/22/1989 - Sunday Two      Blow Away [10:00] Samson And Delilah [6:20] Help On The Way [3:44] > Slipknot!

Why was this story so infamous?

Chapter 16 in the Book of Judges is the great story of Samson and Delilah. Samson was strong, and weak. Where does your strength come from?

Here is the second set from the band's performance on March 3, 1981 at the beautiful Music Hall in Cleveland Ohio.  They open with 'China Cat', while Garcia flubs the first verse, he makes up for it with a fine transition into Rider. A rockin 'Samson and Delilah' follows and then a long 'He's Gone'. The Drums section is particularly potent here, leading not into a long Space but instead into a 'Sailor>Saint' combo. The 'Black Peter' that follows is very soulful indeed. They close the set with 'Good Lovin' then return for a 'Casey Jones' encore.      Grateful Dead Cleveland Music Hall Cleveland, OH 3/3/1981 - Tuesday Two     China Cat Sunflower [10:56] > I Know You Rider [5:48] > Samson And Delilah [7:35] He's Gone [16:33] > Drums [12:41] > Lost Sailor [6:42] > Saint Of Circumstance [7:08] > Black Peter [10:31] > Good Lovin' [8:13] Encore     Casey Jones [5:19]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod030824.mp3  "See here how everything lead up to this day And it's just like any other day that's ever been Sun going up and then the sun going down"  

WOW!!!

Despite Samson's unfaithfulness in his life, the Lord God shows his faithfulness and grace to Samson.In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker investigates the crimes of both Samson, who was the most undisciplined and reckless of all the judges, and Delilah, who is the Bible's most famous "femme fatale." If you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your support?

 It's Friday the 13th, but I hope you'll feel lucky to listen to this fine second set from October 18, 1978.  The second night of the 'From Egypt with Love' run at Winterland, this set features some very strong Drums and Space, highlighted by a guest appearance from Lee Oskar, giving it a decided Egyptian feel. While Jerry flubs the lyrics to 'Terrapin Station' a fine 'Samson and Delilah' more than makes up for it. The show also has a rare set-ending 'Truckin' which is first rate.  I hope you enjoy it..

This week we feature the second set from the performance on June 22, 1976 near Philadelphia PA. Again, an unusual opener, with a jazzy 'Playin' going into an intense 'Space Jam' - this one featuring the 'Happiness is Drumming' themes that later developed into 'Fire on the Mountain'. 'The Wheel' follows, with its own spacy elements, including some great Phil riffs, before going back into the 'Playin' reprise. The 'Samson' is strong, and the 'Eyes' pretty speedy for this period. The remainder of the show features some nice rocking - 'Dancin', 'Around and Around' and a great 'Goin' Down the Road' into 'Saturday Night'..     Grateful Dead Tower Theatre Upper Darby, PA 6/22/1976 - Tuesday Two      Playing In The Band [8:55] (2) > Space Jam [14:07] > Drums [2:30] (3) > The Wheel [5:16] (4) > Playing In The Band Reprise [2:58] (5) [2:00] Samson And Delilah [6:51] (6) % Eyes Of The World [12:26] > Dancing In The Street [12:07] Around And Around [6:58] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [8:15] > One More Saturday Night [4:37]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod062323.mp3   Thanks for your kind support!

Thank you!   This week we conclude our visit to the Uptown Theater with the second set from the band's performance on  January 31, 1978.  This set starts with a fine Scarlet>Fire with a wonderful transition with Donna hitting this just right. The Samson is raging, then the band goes into a delicious Terrapin Station, into a sweet Playing with Phil really adding some nice bottom. A short Drums and Space leads into an intense 'Black Peter', much longer than the earlier versions, then 'Truckin' leads into a set closing, and quite enjoyable 'Good Lovin'.    No encore.

While I played this show, unbeknownst to me, ten years ago on the Deadpod, I am still going to present the wonderful second set this week. This show, from Indianapolis on October 1, 1976, features a sweet second set. While a 'Might As Well' opener might not signal such a beauty, the 'Samson' that follows quickly convinces that we are in a for a treat. Great interplay throughout from Jerry and Phil. When the 'Help>Slip>Frank' that follows gets rolling the band hits on all cylinders. I especially love Keith's contribution in the great 'Slipknot!' jam here. A somewhat short 'Dancin' goes into an even shorter 'drums' but 'The Wheel' that follows is sweet. Following 'Ship of Fools', Bobby attempts to go back into 'Dancin' in a very unusual jam, but the boys move into a 'Goin' Down the Road' into 'Saturday Night' to end the set.    Grateful Dead Market Square Arena Indianapolis, IN  10/1/1976 - Friday Two     Might As Well [5:37] ; Samson And Delilah [7:13] % Help On The Way [4:07] > Slipknot!

Today we follow two stories of betrayal with Samson and Delilah and Micah and the Levite. Fr. Mike also explains why Judges is the best example of how God can use broken people to do his will. The reading are Judges 16-18 and Psalm 147. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
