Hannah's Source of Discouragement (6 of 6)
by Daniel Rodgers
In our story this evening we find Hannah weeping. She is weeping for at least two reasons: first, that she was not able to bare children; secondly, that she was being made fun of and being mocked because she had no children.2. Our message tonight will center around Hannah's burden, her source of discouragement, and how she was able to resolve the issues that confronted her. I. The Reason for Her Burden II. The Source of Her Discouragement III. The Resolution of Her Problem I. THE REASON FOR HER BURDEN 1. Two things: A. She was barren (vs.2) 1. Hannah's burden came from not being able to have children.We are...
The Grieved Heart of Hannah (5 of 6)
by Ken Trivette
1. In Herbert Lockyer's book, ''All The Women Of The Bible,'' his title for Hannah is, ''The Woman Who Personifies Ideal Motherhood.'' He writes, ''All that is recorded of this mother, who was one of the most noble Hebrews that ever lived, is an inspiration and benediction.'' 2. Hannah is an inspiration as a wife, as a mother, and as a Christian. She is a model for every wife, mother, and every believer. We first meet her with a sad heart and before the story is over we see her with a glad heart. When you look at Hannah one quickly assesses that she has a good heart. But yet one is made aware that she has a grieving heart. We read in...
Hannah: Ideal Mother
by Stan Coffey
We are continuing down the original Route 66 as we are in a series entitled Bible Giants. This portion of God's Word is called, ''The Books of History.'' We are selecting one Bible character on which we will focus each Sunday. Today we are looking at ''The Ideal Mother.'' We will be looking at the mother of Samuel; her name was Hannah. What a wonderful mother she was. As we look at her, I pray that you'll identify with this woman who, because she knew how to pray, received a son from God. This son became one of Israel's greatest leaders, a man of God who preached all over the land and called the nation back to God. ''And...
Hannah: A Woman of a Sorrowful Spirit
by Charles H. Spurgeon
Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit The special cause of Hannah's sorrow arose from the institution of polygamy, which, although it was tolerated under the old law, is always exhibited to us in practical action as a most fruitful source of sorrow and sin. In no one recorded instance in Holy Scripture is it set forth as admirable; and in most cases the proofs of its evil effects lie open to the sun. Lamech leads the way, and he is a homicide descended of the murderous house of Cain, and the father of Tubal-cain, or Vulcan, the fashioner of weapons of destruction: never was this institution...
Praying In Pain
by Tony Nester
Welcome to the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I hope you have a great holiday on Thursday. However, I know that not every Thanksgiving goes as well as planned. I know about young woman who was learning how to cook and decided to follow a recipe she found in the paper from the Heloise column. Heloise directed her to put a cup of liquid in the cavity of the turkey when roasting it so that the meat wouldn't dry out. The woman wrote back and said, ''the turkey tasted great, but the plastic cup melted.''So much for some humor. Now I want to get serious. The truth is that not everyone is going to have a happy day on Thursday...
Seek - Hannah's Prayer (1 of 3)
by Jason Dees
1 And Hannah prayed and said, ''My heart exults in the Lord; my horn is exalted in the Lord. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation. 2 ''There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. 3 Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4 The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble bind on strength. 5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has...
Things Our Mothers Taught Us
by Joe Alain
There are many things that our mothers have taught us. In 1 Samuel chapter 1 we find the story of a woman, a mother named Hannah. There are some important things that Hannah, a godly mother teaches us. This ordinary woman is an example of a great woman and a godly mother in the Old Testament. What does Hannah this godly mother teach us? What would Hannah tell us if we could ask her about her testimony, her story, her walk with God? First, Hannah might say to us...1. Bring Your Burdens to the Lord Hannah was a woman who had a burden. Hannah was one of two wives of a man named Elkanah. Elkanah's wife...
How to Move Forward When Stuck in Neutral
by Ernest Easley
As you're turning to 1 Samuel 1 I want to ask you a personal question this morning: is your life stuck in neutral? I mean when you look at your life today, it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It's not moving forward like you had hoped and dreamed. It's not really moving backward, it's just not moving and you're stuck in neutral. Soon after Julie and I got married, I thought it would be a good idea to buy a car that had better gas mileage than we currently had. So one day I decided to trade in our car and come home with another car: a Subaru. Not just any Subaru, a standard transmission Subaru. The salesman explained to me...
A Tribute to Mothers
by J. Gerald Harris
We have heard some beautiful tributes to mothers today. Thank God for Christian mothers. John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, said, ''All that I am my mother made me.'' Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, said, ''All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother.'' Dwight L. Moody, the famed evangelist, declared, ''All that I have ever accomplished in life I owe to my mother.'' Napoleon who was elected the emperor of France on May 18, 1804, said, ''Let France have good mothers and she will have good sons.''Benjamin West was born in Springfield, Pennsylvania, but by the time...
A Model Mother
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST honored His earthly mother and appealed by example and exhortation for you to do the same. The need abides for mothers to be honored as well as for them to be honorable. The Old Testament contains the story of a young wife and her ambition to serve the Lord as a mother. She is the model of a good mother. Women, let me ask you a vital question. If you had lived in the Bible era, would you have been a good example for inclusion in Scripture of a good and Godly mother? If not, I appeal that you start molding your life today after such an example - Hannah. The story develops in a time of great national...

Real Motherhood
by Dave Gustavsen
Alright-we're going to be in 1 Samuel today-toward the beginning of your Bible. 1 Samuel chapter one. Now: I realize that Mother's Day can be a very difficult day for some of you. I have a friend who intentionally skipped church on Mother's Day for several years, because she had recently lost her mother, and it was just too emotional for her. And maybe it's like that for you. Or maybe you don't have a very good relationship with your mother, and so it's hard to hear all these nice things said about moms. Or maybe you'd love to be a mother, and that just hasn't happened. So if Mother's Day is a painful day for you, first of all, thanks for...
The Marks of a Godly Mother
by Jim Perdue
I have a confession to make. Here goes…I'm a momma's boy. I find it a bit awkward to admit it, but it's true. It's not awkward because I'm ashamed, but because my dad is sitting right there on the fourth row. No offense, Dad. My sister-in-law decided to start a discussion last year while our whole family was on vacation at the lake. She thought that her husband, my brother Dan, was the most like my mom. This began a family ''discussion'' among the children and their spouses about what child was most like what parent. My dad put an end to this two-day discussion by saying; ''There are three that are like me, and one that is like...
The Influence of a Godly Mother
by Ernest Easley
As you are turning to 1 Samuel 1, let me say that on May 9, 1941 the United States Congress under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson did a good thing! They proclaimed the second Sunday in May as ''Mother's Day'' for ''public expression of our love and reverence for the Mothers of our country.'' Thank God for our Mothers! For without them, we wouldn't be here today! It's true, a Mother's job is never done! How wonderful it would be for Mothers if they could collect time-and-a-half for overtime. And especially for single Mom's. I believe they have the hardest job in America. It's hard enough where there is...
Samuel! (5 of 5)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: What is a child? A cute little bundle of energy that is often self-programmed! They are explorers, trekkers seeking out new things, going where every man has gone before their 5 year mission, to explore, mess up, turn upside down, to laugh, to cry until they become humans sometime around the age of 21. (Or in some cases, later!) Most of us put children in the class of a minor impact on society. BUT think about this, the entire future of our society is right now running around in diapers! Think about these truths: a. These same little entities that cannot control their bladder will control the atomic weapons in less than...
Marriage & Mentoring (3 of 3)
by Ernest Easley
Now as we conclude our series of messages MandM's: Sweetening Up our Family Life ... look with me to the Old Testament book of 1st Samuel. For several weeks .. we've been learning from God's Word how to sweeten up and straighten up and strengthen our families by considering some of the Bible's MandM's. The first MandM was Marriage and Money. The second MandM was Marriage and Mates. Last time together we learned some things about Marriage and Morality. Now today as we conclude our MandM's series .. we come to the fourth MandM: Marriage and Mentoring. And let me say to our Fathers on this Father's...
The Challenge of Parenting (5 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
I don't know about you, but I like to do puzzles. I like to get the paper in the morning and do the Jumble and the Crypto-quote and the Crossword puzzle. I like word puzzles. Debbie, she likes number puzzles. Well, she has turned me on recently to the Sudoku puzzle. It's numbers 1 through 9. And you have to figure out what number goes in the right spot, one through 9. Now it can be pretty hard, especially if you're not good with numbers. But, you know, the thing about puzzles, the reason that many of us like to do them, they're a challenge. And you look at that empty Crossword puzzle, or whatever it might be, and...
Who Is God? God Is Holy! (5 of 9)
by Steve Jones
INTRODUCTION: Let me start with a video clip this morning. It's one that should ring familiar to many of you who grew up with Sesame Street either as a child or a parent. This is a song entitled, ''One of these things is not like the other'' (Play the clip). There are many, many versions of this song used over the years to teach children how to differentiate. In the clip I used we saw three shells and a crab. The shells are different from the crab. Shells aren't alive, crabs are. Crabs are crustaceans, shells are empty exoskeletons. Crabs are in the animal kingdom. Shells are mostly in the mineral kingdom and consist of calcium carbonate....

Form and Essence
by Christopher Harbin
How often we hear messages that our strength, wealth, intelligence and initiative are the things that will take us forward in life! The world around us is very determined to focus on the self above all else. It is said that we should live life according to our own way. We are told that our desires, plans and dreams are of supreme importance in life. One's personal decision is the decision is said to be the important one. The freedom to choose our own way is the larger direction of society, almost without restriction. Many times we bring the same concept to our service of worship and our religious activities. Without realizing it we...
