Book of 1 Samuel

Mar 19, 2025    Apostle Dan Oglesby

In this powerful exploration of 1 Samuel, we delve into the story of Hannah, a woman whose faith and perseverance changed the course of Israel's history. Hannah's struggle with barrenness and her rival's provocations mirror our own battles with adversity and comparison. Yet, her unwavering commitment to God teaches us the power of sincere prayer and making vows with pure intentions. The birth of Samuel reminds us that God hears our deepest longings and can turn our pain into purpose. Just as Hannah dedicated Samuel to God's service, we're challenged to consider how we can offer our own gifts, our talents, time and resources to fulfill God's greater plan. This narrative beautifully illustrates how God can use our personal struggles to bring about significant change, not just in our lives, but in the world around us.
