As we begin a study through the life of Samuel, Michael Pritchard looks at the difficult circumstances surrounding Samuel’s birth and the faith of his mother, Hannah. From 1 Samuel 1, we see that God can use hardship to draw us closer to Him, that He hears our prayers, and that He can be trusted even when we do not understand what He is doing. Michael also introduces three simple questions that can help us study Scripture for ourselves: What do we learn about God? What do we learn about people? And what do we need to obey?
