In “How to Persevere Like Hannah,” Ps Alex shares an encouraging message drawn from 1 Samuel 1, focusing on the quiet strength, deep faith, and enduring prayer life of a woman who refused to give up. Delivered on Mother’s Day, the sermon speaks to anyone who has experienced delayed hopes, unanswered prayers, or silent seasons in their spiritual journey.
Ps Alex outlines three key lessons from Hannah’s life: she didn’t let pain silence her prayer; she kept believing even when heaven seemed quiet; and she gave God the glory—not just the request. Hannah’s unwavering faith, expressed through years of heartache and surrender, becomes a blueprint for how we too can press on when life feels overwhelming.
Interwoven with personal testimony, humour, and honest reflection, the message also reminds us that God often does His greatest work in the hidden, painful places. When we persevere like Hannah, we make room for God’s strength to carry us and His plans to unfold in ways greater than we imagined.
This sermon calls us not to isolate or lose heart, but to draw near to God—trusting that He hears, He sees, and He is shaping something beautiful through our faith-filled endurance.
