🔴 LIVE: WHO IS YOUR KING? 🤐 | 1 Samuel In this 1 Samuel sermon, Randy explores Hannah's story to reveal what to do when God is silent. Discover how to trust God's presence in the waiting. When you have prayed for years and God seems completely silent, it is incredibly easy to wonder if He is even listening. Today we are diving into 1 Samuel 1 to look at the story of Hannah and answer the hardest question in faith: Who is your king when God seems silent? This week, catastrophic floods in Nepal and Tibet left thousands dead or missing, reminding us that for many, the hardest part of tragedy is waiting and not knowing. The spiritual struggle of humanity is finding God in the silence. Whether you are waiting for a prodigal child, a healed marriage, or a medical breakthrough, faith doesn't mean the waiting stops hurting. Faith means the waiting does not get the throne of your life. We’re breaking down: ✅ God’s Silence is Not His Absence: Why we cannot force a clean explanation onto every unanswered prayer, and how God is often writing a much bigger story than we can see in our current chapter. 📖 ✅ Pour Out Your Pain: Why you need to bring your raw anguish to God before your pain starts preaching to you (because pain is a terrible preacher). 🗣️ ✅ Surrendering the Blessing: How Hannah refused to let her answered prayer become an idol, proving that Yahweh—not the culture's fertility god, Baal—rules over life. 👑 ✅ Honest Faith: Why it is perfectly biblical to tell God that you are angry, tired, and frustrated instead of giving Him an edited, "church" version of your prayers. 🛡️ If your circumstances are king, your circumstances will dictate who God is. But if Jesus is King, you can trust Him even when you don't understand what He is doing. Stop letting the answer become your king, and bring your whole heart to the Lord today. 📖 Key Scriptures Covered: • 1 Samuel 1:10, 15 – "She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly...
