Hannah

Another great sermon yesterday from Pastor Charles Dobbie, in my humble opinion, which can be heard from the Holy Trinity, Lyonsdown website, d.v..

1 Samuel 1: Hannah.

Pastorally sensitive comments about the problems and pain of childlessness, both for married and singles.

The Bible as theological history.

Hannah as a type of Israel at the time of the Judges - a new thought for me. (I guess it also makes sense to think of Hannah as a type of Elizabeth and Mary because of her miraculous baby and her role in the coming of the Messiah).

God's mercy and power in using Hannah's humble and helpless weakness in his salvation purposes.

Left me wanting more - which is good, as it was the start of a Sunday morning series.
