Sermons About Hannah
Fixing Society, Step Two: Church Leadership
As the second step toward healing the brokenness of society, God confronts the hypocrisy of the church, bringing severe judgment against its leadership. Eli and his sons are confronted, convicted, and cast out for their flagrant abuses of religious power. Hope begins to emerge from the brokenness of Israel’s leadership as Samuel’s quiet but faithful service demonstrates that God has plans to bring about the longed for healing and redemption of the nation.

Celebrating God's Goodness
After Hannah is blessed with the birth of Samuel, she dedicates him and then offers a prayer of thanksgiving to God. She rejoices over his deliverance, rests in his control, trusts in his knowledge of her situation, and hopes in God’s plan. We are encouraged to do all those things as well, but the focus of the passage is the “anointed one,” Jesus Christ.

The Cry that Saves
As Hannah deals with the anguish of a hopeless life, she is driven to pour out her pain-wracked heart before God. God hears her cry, and she is granted the desire of her heart, but only because she re-centered her life by putting God first. Hannah’s cry invites us to follow her into the presence of God with our own heart cries, and it calls us to search our own hearts to make sure that there is nothing in our lives that we are putting before God. The son God provides for her is also the answer to the larger problem of Israel, who desperately needs a leader to free them from the brokenness of their society. God changes societies in response to the cries of individuals.
