Samuel’s Birth |  1 Samuel 1:1-2:11a

Recently we have started a new series called 1 Samuel: In Search of a King. The purpose of this series is to grow in our awe of God, receive warnings about the fallen condition of humanity, and learn to trust in the God who saves. As we begin, we will see that the first section of the book is the time before the kings. This week we are going to study 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11 and learn about the origin of one of the main characters—Samuel. We are going to see that despite Hannah’s barrenness, God graciously responded to her prayers and blessed her with a son—Samuel. She responded to God’s blessing by dedicating Samuel to the LORD’s service and praising Him. Join us this week as we learn more about God’s character and the proper human response to God.
