Hannah: I Will Follow the Lord

In this sermon, we delve into the powerful story of Hannah from 1 Samuel, exploring the profound themes of disappointment, faith, and God’s faithfulness. This narrative reminds us that discipleship isn’t always about immediate blessings or breakthroughs, but often involves remaining steadfast during seasons of waiting and heartache. Hannah’s journey teaches us the transformative power of raw, honest prayer and the beauty of surrender. As we reflect on her willingness to give back to God what she most desperately wanted, we’re challenged to examine our own hearts. Are we clinging too tightly to our dreams, or are we open to God’s greater plan? This story encourages us to pour out our disappointments before God, trusting that He sees, remembers, and works even when our circumstances seem bleak. It’s a timely reminder that our faith can deepen through trials, shaping us for purposes beyond what we can imagine.
