A Praying Mama

Brad's sermon focused on Hannah’s heartfelt prayer in 1 Samuel 2 emphasizing the themes of God’s transcendence and imminence. His transcendence speaks to His control and direction over the whole creation while His imminence focuses us on His personal, individual care for His people. Hannah modeled a life of worship, trust, holiness, and dependence on God that shaped Samuel’s faith and leadership. Parents, especially mothers, disciple children through their own reverence for God, attitudes toward sin, and worship priorities. The small choices moms and dads make every day matter—both to God and to the children who look to us for guidance in living the Christian life.
