“Preparing For A King” (1 Samuel 1:1-2:11)

Are you looking for hope in the middle of your brokenness? What if the silence you're experiencing is the soil where God is preparing your heart for the King? In a time of deep spiritual darkness, God heard the cry of a broken woman named Hannah—and through her sorrow and surrender, He began a redemptive movement that would ultimately lead to the true King. This week, Pastor Josiah preached a message centered on 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11, in which he showed how through Hannah’s story, we see God remember the lowly, raise up a prophet, and prepare His people for the hope they didn’t yet see coming. Hannah’s story is not just about answered prayer—it's about how God works in and through our times of brokenness and despair to bring about salvation and redemption.

May this message be a blessing to you!
