Becoming: Growing Through Grief

New series: Becoming (Exploring 1 Samuel)

Teaching text: 1 Samuel 1

Key themes:

Life rarely goes as planned—and that may be God’s grace.

Faithfulness often looks like fighting to keep showing up.

Hannah’s honest, broken prayer models what surrender really looks like.

We don’t need perfect words—just a real heart before God.

God hears, God cares, and He always responds (yes, no, or wait).

Steadfast surrender is trusting God with what we long for most.
