In the birth of her baby, Samuel, Hannah sees the hand of God working for the salvation of all His people:

1. What Hannah believes (1-3)
2. What Hannah sees (4-8a)
3. What Hannah expects (8b-10)

Questions to think about during the sermon:
Point 1:

1. How can you see that Hannah is more than a happy mother, and Hannah’s song refers to more than just the birth of a child?
   2, How does Hannah know that the birth of her child is important? What pattern does she expect God to follow?
   Point 2:
   3, What does God promise to do with the rich/poor as well as the strong/weak? On what side of the fence are we?
   4, Why was Hannah’s barrenness a blessing for her? What did this circumstance demonstrate to her?
   Point 3:
   5, In which way is Mary’s prayer different from Hannah’s? Why?
