Sermon Series: 1 Samuel
Sermon Preacher & Text: Pastor Luke Dufek, 1 Samuel 1:9-2:11
TITLE: The God Who Hears and Saves
SUMMARY: Hannah’s desperate prayer, the birth and dedication of Samuel, and her song of praise reveal the God who hears his people. The Lord turns Hannah’s sorrow into joy, not only for her good but to advance his great redemptive purposes. In her response, Hannah rejoices in the God who brings down the proud, strengthens the weak, and saves his people. Her praise points us beyond Samuel to the coming King, God’s Anointed One, Jesus Christ, who accomplishes the salvation of his people.

Confession of Sin
Church: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and that I am in desperate need of your grace. I ask that you give me a deeper repentance, a horror of sin, a dread of its approach. Help me chastely to flee it, and jealously to resolve that my heart shall be thine alone.
Give me a deeper trust, that I may lose myself to find myself in thee, the ground of my rest, the spring of my being. Give me a deeper knowledge of thyself as Savior, Master, Lord, and King. Give me deeper power in private prayer, more sweetness in thy Word, more steadfast grip on its truth. Give me deeper holiness in speech, thought, action, and let me not seek moral virtue apart from thee.
Plough deep in me, great Lord, heavenly Bridegroom, that my being may be a tilled field, the roots of grace spreading far and wide, until thou alone art seen in me, thy beauty golden like summer harvest, thy fruitfulness as autumn plenty.
I have no master but thee, no law but thy will, no delight but thyself, no wealth but that thou givest, no good but that thou blessest, no peace but that thou bestowest.
I am nothing but that thou makest me. I have nothing but that I receive from thee. I can be nothing but that grace adorns me. Quarry me deep, dear Lord, and then fill me to overflowing with living water.

Assurance of Pardon
Pastor: Church, having confessed your sin to God, hear this assurance of your pardon from Titus 3:4-7: “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Amen!
