2024 Fall Sermon Themes, "Creation - Judges"

This weekend – October 12-13 “God Answers Hannah”

To prepare for service read 1 Samuel 1:9-11, 19-20; 2:1-10

Hannah cannot believe that her request to have a child is granted with the birth of Samuel, so she praises God and thanks God for granting her prayer. Her praise is extravagant, but not at all undeserved.

In due time Hannah conceived and bore a son. She named him Samuel, for she said, “I have asked him of the Lord.” (1 Samuel 1:20)

Heaven Looks Like Us

Heaven Looks Like Us TEMITOPE July 12, 2024 Being Black in a (majority) white culture is difficult. However, within the difficulty lies a unique opportunity to speak into mental health issues and advance the kingdom of God. I always felt different growing up. I wasn’t around a lot of people who looked like me. Most of my experiences with people who looked like me occurred on “mission trips” with my (majority) white church. As you might imagine, that created a…
