Not by strength (1 Samuel 2)

Intro: Do you find it easy to remember to praise God? Are there any times when you have had an urge to praise God? 

Read 1 Samuel 2:1-10 

Why does Hannah’s experience lead her to praise God? 
- What has she learned about God? 
- How does she reflect on her experience with Peninnah (1:6)? 

What wider lessons does she give for God’s people? 
- How will God bring reversal and renewal? 

What will you learn from Hannah? 
- What example for when God answers our prayers? 
- What encouragement for when we feel our weakness? 
- What warning for when we feel strong?  

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the VicarRevd. Peter Breckwoldt

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
