How to Move Forward When Stuck in Neutral
Ernest L. Easley
1 Samuel 1
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.

I didn't know it at the time, but my wife had never learned how to drive a standard transmission. I also learned that I didn't have the gift of teaching how to drive one either.
To her credit, she tried. When it came to driving that car, she was stuck in neutral and the more she tried to put it in gear, the worse things got.

Her name was Hannah and it's from her life today that I want to show you

Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of ...
