- Are y'all bored with all this background?
- 00:05:26.446 --> 00:05:27.947
- All this background? i love this stuff,
- 00:05:28.014 --> 00:05:28.681
- I love this stuff, i live for this stuff.
- 00:05:28.748 --> 00:05:29.649
- I live for this stuff. i wanna show you this stuff.
- 00:05:29.716 --> 00:05:30.850
- I wanna show you this stuff. i live for this stuff.
- 00:05:30.917 --> 00:05:32.518
- I live for this stuff. this woman had a very,
- 00:05:32.585 --> 00:05:34.821
- This woman had a very, very, a very, a very difficult
- 00:05:34.887 --> 00:05:39.258
- Very, a very, a very difficult decision to make and so do you.
- 00:05:39.325 --> 00:05:41.761
- Decision to make and so do you. here's the decision
- 00:05:41.828 --> 00:05:42.528
- Here's the decision she had to make,
- 00:05:42.595 --> 00:05:44.030
- She had to make, am i gonna keep going
- 00:05:44.097 --> 00:05:45.631
- Am i gonna keep going to the house of god even
- 00:05:45.698 --> 00:05:48.568
- To the house of god even with a broken heart?
- 00:05:48.634 --> 00:05:51.237
- With a broken heart? am i gonna keep bringing
- 00:05:51.304 --> 00:05:52.638
- Am i gonna keep bringing this before god?
- 00:05:52.705 --> 00:05:53.373
- This before god? because, she couldn't have
- 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:54.207
- Because, she couldn't have a child and what made matters
- 00:05:54.273 --> 00:05:55.808
- A child and what made matters worse in 1 samuel 1
- 00:05:55.875 --> 00:06:00.847
- Worse in 1 samuel 1 is that the bible tells us
- 00:06:00.913 --> 00:06:02.815
- Is that the bible tells us that her husband --
- 00:06:02.882 --> 00:06:04.283
- That her husband -- now, her husband loved her,
- 00:06:04.350 --> 00:06:05.418
- Now, her husband loved her, elkanah loved her,
- 00:06:05.485 --> 00:06:06.753
- Elkanah loved her, but he also had another wife,
- 00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:07.587
- But he also had another wife, which was common in those days
- 00:06:07.653 --> 00:06:09.288
- Which was common in those days and her name was peninnah.
- 00:06:09.355 --> 00:06:10.390
- And her name was peninnah. and so, elkanah would try
- 00:06:10.456 --> 00:06:11.924
- And so, elkanah would try to make up the difference.
- 00:06:11.991 --> 00:06:12.792
- To make up the difference. when he would go to shiloh
- 00:06:12.859 --> 00:06:14.594
- When he would go to shiloh to sacrifice they would travel,
- 00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:15.928
- To sacrifice they would travel, like, 20 miles to go
- 00:06:15.995 --> 00:06:17.029
- Like, 20 miles to go sacrifice every year.
- 00:06:17.096 --> 00:06:18.331
- Sacrifice every year. the bible says, verse 5,
- 00:06:18.398 --> 00:06:19.432
- The bible says, verse 5, "but to hannah he gave
- 00:06:19.499 --> 00:06:20.533
- "but to hannah he gave a double portion because
- 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.701
- A double portion because he loved her though the lord
- 00:06:21.768 --> 00:06:23.436
- He loved her though the lord had closed her womb."
- 00:06:23.503 --> 00:06:24.737
- Had closed her womb." so, he's trying
- 00:06:24.804 --> 00:06:25.505
- So, he's trying to do what men do,
- 00:06:25.571 --> 00:06:26.272
- To do what men do, fix situations that
- 00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:27.473
- Fix situations that we can't fix.
- 00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:30.443
- We can't fix. and verse 6 says that,
- 00:06:30.510 --> 00:06:34.447
- And verse 6 says that, "her rival used to provoke her
- 00:06:34.514 --> 00:06:35.715
- "her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her
- 00:06:35.782 --> 00:06:37.950
- Grievously to irritate her because the lord had
- 00:06:38.017 --> 00:06:38.651
- Because the lord had closed her womb.
- 00:06:38.718 --> 00:06:40.586
- Closed her womb. so it went on year by year."
- 00:06:40.653 --> 00:06:45.258
- It went on year by year.
- 00:06:45.358 --> 00:06:49.796
- It went on year by year. "as often as she went up
- 00:06:49.862 --> 00:06:51.297
- "as often as she went up to the house of the lord,
- 00:06:51.364 --> 00:06:53.332
- To the house of the lord, she used to provoke her."
- 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:54.567
- She used to provoke her." this other woman, peninnah,
- 00:06:54.634 --> 00:06:56.202
- This other woman, peninnah, the other wife who was
- 00:06:56.269 --> 00:06:56.969
- The other wife who was able to have children,
- 00:06:57.036 --> 00:06:58.037
- Able to have children, would provoke hannah year after
- 00:06:58.104 --> 00:07:01.841
- Year and make fun of her,
- 00:07:01.941 --> 00:07:03.376
- Year and make fun of her, and mock her, and post
- 00:07:03.443 --> 00:07:05.144
- And mock her, and post all of her pictures of her
- 00:07:05.211 --> 00:07:07.013
- All of her pictures of her beautiful mother's days
- 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.115
- Beautiful mother's days with all of her kids.
- 00:07:09.182 --> 00:07:10.917
- With all of her kids. and she would provoke
- 00:07:10.983 --> 00:07:11.751
- And she would provoke her year after year.
- 00:07:11.818 --> 00:07:13.419
- Her year after year. "and as often as hannah went up
- 00:07:13.486 --> 00:07:16.556
- "and as often as hannah went up to the house of the lord,
- 00:07:16.622 --> 00:07:17.757
- To the house of the lord, she used to provoke her.
- 00:07:17.824 --> 00:07:19.759
- She used to provoke her. therefore hannah wept
- 00:07:19.826 --> 00:07:21.527
- Therefore hannah wept and would not eat."
- 00:07:21.594 --> 00:07:22.595
- And would not eat." no, so i'm giving you
- 00:07:22.662 --> 00:07:23.529
- No, so i'm giving you this situation for a reason
- 00:07:23.596 --> 00:07:24.964
- This situation for a reason because i need you to understand
- 00:07:25.031 --> 00:07:26.232
- Because i need you to understand something about samuel
- 00:07:26.299 --> 00:07:28.301
- Something about samuel and something about you,
- 00:07:28.367 --> 00:07:30.069
- And something about you, but in order to understand
- 00:07:30.136 --> 00:07:31.771
- But in order to understand samuel you have to understand
- 00:07:31.838 --> 00:07:34.140
- Samuel you have to understand something about his mother,
- 00:07:34.207 --> 00:07:35.842
- Something about his mother, hannah and that is this.
- 00:07:35.908 --> 00:07:38.377
- Hannah and that is this. that year after year
- 00:07:38.444 --> 00:07:40.480
- That year after year she could not have a baby.
- 00:07:40.546 --> 00:07:42.315
- She could not have a baby. they would go and sacrifice
- 00:07:42.381 --> 00:07:43.683
- They would go and sacrifice and she would pray,
- 00:07:43.749 --> 00:07:44.851
- And she would pray, "god, give me a baby,"
- 00:07:44.917 --> 00:07:46.452
- "god, give me a baby," and peninnah would
- 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:47.854
- And peninnah would have another baby,
- 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.055
- Have another baby, and she would have none.
- 00:07:49.121 --> 00:07:50.590
- And she would have none. the next year rolls around.
- 00:07:50.656 --> 00:07:51.958
- The next year rolls around. "i'm going back again.'
- 00:07:52.024 --> 00:07:53.759
- "i'm going back again.' and she would go
- 00:07:53.826 --> 00:07:54.560
- And she would go and she would pray,
- 00:07:54.627 --> 00:07:55.595
- And she would pray, and she would ask god,
- 00:07:55.661 --> 00:07:56.929
- And she would ask god, and she would sacrifice.
- 00:07:56.996 --> 00:07:58.264
- And she would sacrifice. "god, please give me a baby."
- 00:07:58.331 --> 00:07:59.599
- "god, please give me a baby." now, you might not
- 00:07:59.665 --> 00:08:00.166
- Now, you might not be playing for --
- 00:08:00.233 --> 00:08:00.700
- Be playing for -- praying for a baby today,
- 00:08:00.766 --> 00:08:01.901
- Praying for a baby today, you may be praying for
- 00:08:01.968 --> 00:08:03.002
- You may be praying for one of your children
- 00:08:03.069 --> 00:08:04.036
- One of your children that you already have,
- 00:08:04.103 --> 00:08:04.971
- That you already have, you may be praying for
- 00:08:05.037 --> 00:08:06.105
- You may be praying for a certain thing that you need
- 00:08:06.172 --> 00:08:07.073
- A certain thing that you need god to do in your body.
- 00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:08.241
- God to do in your body. you may be praying
- 00:08:08.307 --> 00:08:09.008
- You may be praying about a mental illness,
- 00:08:09.075 --> 00:08:10.109
- About a mental illness, you may be praying about
- 00:08:10.176 --> 00:08:11.210
- You may be praying about a way that you want god
- 00:08:11.277 --> 00:08:12.078
- A way that you want god to give you clarity,
- 00:08:12.144 --> 00:08:13.079
- To give you clarity, it's been kinda foggy.
- 00:08:13.145 --> 00:08:14.380
- It's been kinda foggy. so, i need you to put yourself
- 00:08:14.447 --> 00:08:15.681
- So, i need you to put yourself in the situation of hannah,
- 00:08:15.748 --> 00:08:17.383
- In the situation of hannah, today, and not just think
- 00:08:17.450 --> 00:08:18.618
- About if i have a kid
- 00:08:18.718 --> 00:08:19.919
- About if i have a kid or if i don't have a kid.
- 00:08:19.986 --> 00:08:21.153
- Or if i don't have a kid. this represents all of those
- 00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:22.622
- This represents all of those things in our hearts
- 00:08:22.688 --> 00:08:23.689
- Things in our hearts that we carry with us,
- 00:08:23.756 --> 00:08:24.957
- That we carry with us, where there is an empty space
- 00:08:25.024 --> 00:08:26.792
- Where there is an empty space but we keep going
- 00:08:26.859 --> 00:08:27.927
- But we keep going to the house of god anyway.
- 00:08:27.994 --> 00:08:29.495
- To the house of god anyway. and what blessed me about
- 00:08:29.562 --> 00:08:30.663
- And what blessed me about hannah is what blessed me
- 00:08:30.730 --> 00:08:33.032
- Hannah is what blessed me about samuel.
- 00:08:33.099 --> 00:08:34.667
- About samuel. let me explain,
- 00:08:34.734 --> 00:08:36.269
- Let me explain, if you fast forward
- 00:08:36.335 --> 00:08:38.037
- If you fast forward to the time that we read
- 00:08:38.104 --> 00:08:39.071
- To the time that we read about in 1 samuel 3:1-11,
- 00:08:39.138 --> 00:08:43.042
- About in 1 samuel 3:1-11, samuel is a boy now, not a baby.
- 00:08:43.109 --> 00:08:45.144
- So, eventually god gives hannah
- 00:08:45.244 --> 00:08:47.513
- So, eventually god gives hannah what she asked for, a baby.
- 00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:50.082
- What she asked for, a baby. but she had to take the baby
- 00:08:50.149 --> 00:08:51.217
- But she had to take the baby back to the temple and dedicate
- 00:08:51.284 --> 00:08:52.652
- Back to the temple and dedicate him to the lord because that's
- 00:08:52.718 --> 00:08:53.719
- Him to the lord because that's what she vowed she would do.
- 00:08:53.786 --> 00:08:54.921
- What she vowed she would do. "if god gives me a boy
- 00:08:54.987 --> 00:08:56.155
- "if god gives me a boy i'll give him to you, lord.
- 00:08:56.222 --> 00:08:57.390
- I'll give him to you, lord. i'll let him serve you."
- 00:08:57.456 --> 00:08:58.658
- I'll let him serve you." so, after she had weaned him
- 00:08:58.724 --> 00:09:00.393
- So, after she had weaned him she took him and she put him
- 00:09:00.459 --> 00:09:01.294
- She took him and she put him there in eli's temple,
- 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.329
- There in eli's temple, which she knew was corrupt
- 00:09:03.396 --> 00:09:05.565
- Which she knew was corrupt but she had no other choice.
- 00:09:05.631 --> 00:09:07.500
- But she had no other choice. and she had to trust god that
- 00:09:07.567 --> 00:09:09.502
- And she had to trust god that god is going to take care
- 00:09:09.569 --> 00:09:10.937
- God is going to take care of this even though i can't.
- 00:09:11.003 --> 00:09:14.206
- Of this even though i can't. she had to trust god
- 00:09:14.273 --> 00:09:16.142
- She had to trust god that i'm sending my kid
- 00:09:16.208 --> 00:09:17.143
- That i'm sending my kid to this crazy school,
- 00:09:17.209 --> 00:09:19.145
- To this crazy school, and i know what goes on there,
- 00:09:19.211 --> 00:09:20.913
- And i know what goes on there, but i know the god who goes
- 00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:22.748
- But i know the god who goes before my kid that
- 00:09:22.815 --> 00:09:24.150
- Before my kid that i'm sending to school.
- 00:09:24.216 --> 00:09:25.284
- [applause]
- 00:09:25.585 --> 00:09:28.387
- And in giving her child
- 00:09:28.854 --> 00:09:30.289
- And in giving her child to god it meant that she
- 00:09:30.356 --> 00:09:31.490
- To god it meant that she spent almost every day of her
- 00:09:31.557 --> 00:09:33.526
- Spent almost every day of her life away from this boy.
- 00:09:33.593 --> 00:09:35.761
- Life away from this boy. now, god ended up giving
- 00:09:35.828 --> 00:09:37.129
- Now, god ended up giving her five other children,
- 00:09:37.196 --> 00:09:38.331
- Her five other children, because you will
- 00:09:38.397 --> 00:09:38.998
- Because you will never out give god.
- 00:09:39.065 --> 00:09:40.333
- Never out give god. you will never out give god.
- 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.134
- You will never out give god. you will never out give god.
- 00:09:42.201 --> 00:09:44.303
- You will never out give god. you're whining and crying about
- 00:09:44.370 --> 00:09:46.405
- You're whining and crying about that little $20 that you loaned
- 00:09:46.472 --> 00:09:48.140
- That little $20 that you loaned your friend this week,
- 00:09:48.207 --> 00:09:49.275
- Your friend this week, you didn't loan it to them,
- 00:09:49.342 --> 00:09:50.676
- You didn't loan it to them, you loaned it to the lord
- 00:09:50.743 --> 00:09:52.445
- You loaned it to the lord and the lord will pay back with
- 00:09:52.511 --> 00:09:53.846
- And the lord will pay back with interest those he can trust
- 00:09:53.913 --> 00:09:55.181
- Interest those he can trust with his substance.
- 00:09:55.247 --> 00:09:56.115
- [cheering and applause]
- 00:09:56.449 --> 00:10:00.586
- And every year
- 00:10:02.321 --> 00:10:02.955
- And every year she would go to see samuel,
- 00:10:03.022 --> 00:10:04.423
- She would go to see samuel, her boy that she gave
- 00:10:04.490 --> 00:10:05.391
- Her boy that she gave to god.
- 00:10:05.458 --> 00:10:06.959
- To god. she would bring
- 00:10:07.026 --> 00:10:07.493
- With her a little ephod,
- 00:10:07.593 --> 00:10:10.529
- With her a little ephod, which was what
- 00:10:10.596 --> 00:10:11.230
- Which was what the priests would wear,
- 00:10:11.297 --> 00:10:11.998
- The priests would wear, a little linen ephod that
- 00:10:12.064 --> 00:10:13.099
- A little linen ephod that she had made custom for him.
- 00:10:13.165 --> 00:10:16.268
- She had made custom for him. she'd have to kinda guess
- 00:10:16.335 --> 00:10:17.470
- She'd have to kinda guess how big it should be 'cause
- 00:10:17.536 --> 00:10:19.438
- How big it should be 'cause she hadn't seen him for a year.
- 00:10:19.505 --> 00:10:22.274
- She hadn't seen him for a year. so, if you were to see hannah
- 00:10:22.341 --> 00:10:24.276
- So, if you were to see hannah going to temple at this point
- 00:10:24.343 --> 00:10:26.679
- Going to temple at this point in her life you would see
- 00:10:26.746 --> 00:10:28.547

- 00:11:03.149 --> 00:11:07.186
- Year after year, after year with her rival in one ear
- 00:11:07.253 --> 00:11:09.855
- With her rival in one ear and god in the other,
- 00:11:09.922 --> 00:11:12.892
- And god in the other, and her rival saying,
- 00:11:12.958 --> 00:11:14.093
- And her rival saying, "why do you keep serving a god
- 00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:15.428
- "why do you keep serving a god who won't even bless you
- 00:11:15.494 --> 00:11:17.029
- Who won't even bless you with a baby?
- 00:11:17.096 --> 00:11:18.898

- Now, i know people don't say that to us directly,
- 00:11:21.167 --> 00:11:22.635
- Say that to us directly, but don't they make us
- 00:11:22.702 --> 00:11:23.369
- But don't they make us feel that way sometimes?
- 00:11:23.436 --> 00:11:26.405
- Feel that way sometimes? and yet she went.
- 00:11:26.472 --> 00:11:28.774

- 00:16:01.847 --> 00:16:04.049

- 00:22:57.829 --> 00:22:59.064

- The greatest faith in your life is that you come back from
- 00:23:16.014 --> 00:23:16.915

- 00:23:16.982 --> 00:23:20.285
- Temptation when god doesn't take the temptation away,
- 00:23:20.352 --> 00:23:22.287
