Dr. Vivian Thomlinson will be bringing the message on Sunday, June 22, 2025. It will be based on Samuel 1-11; 26-28 and the sermon title is "Guardians". The story of Hannah and her much-prayed-for son Samuel is one of the most endearing narratives in the Old Testament. Hannah had been cursed with barrenness, one of the worst afflictions imaginable in a time and culture where women's value was largely determined by how many sons she could produce for her husband. But Hannah's husband loved Hannah more than he loved his other wife who had borne him multiple children. Yet Hannah prayed fervently for a child. And God heard her cries and blessed her with a son, Samuel, one of God's mightiest and most loyal Prophets. But Hannah realized that her son was really a gift from God and belonged to God and not to her. So, she pledged the cherished child to serve God in His sanctuary under the guardianship of Eli the priest. The story of this mother's love, her unselfish gratitude to the God of all gifts, and the personal relationship between her son Samuel and God is one with multiple timeless lessons for us all. The service will begin at 10:30.
