Living My Mother’s Dream | Mother's Day | Dr. Lance Watson

05/10/2026 Sunday Worship Service | The Saint Paul’s Baptist Church | Rev. Dr. Lance Watson, Senior Pastor The opening chapter of 1 Samuel invites us into a raw, domestic landscape where personal longing intersects with divine purpose. As we witness Hannah’s journey from the “bitterness of soul” caused by infertility and social provocation to the radical surrender of her long-awaited son, we are forced to confront our own unfulfilled dreams and the “Peninnah’s” in our lives. This narrative isn't just an ancient story of answered prayer; it is a mirror reflecting our struggles with identity, the tension of waiting on God's timing, and the profound challenge of releasing what we love most back to the Creator. By stepping into Hannah’s shoes, we move beyond mere petition and into a deeper level of spiritual honesty, discovering that our greatest heartaches can become the very ground where God’s eternal purposes begin to take root.
