Praise the Lord, the Sovereign King!

Sermon Text: 1 Samuel 2:1-10

Theme: Hannah’s prayer glorifies the Lord’s sovereign kingship over all humankind

Structure/points:  Hannah’s prayer is a song that exults the Lord and joyfully proclaims His sovereign power over all people, good and evil, and in doing so, prepares us for the events of 1 Samuel.  We see three examples of God’s kingship in our passage: 

  1. God’s deliverance of Hannah
  2. God’s reversing of fortunes
  3. God’s judgment of all the world
