“The Strength of a Mother” 1 Samuel 1:9-18 (NLT) Strength is… 1 : the quality or state of being strong : capacity for exertion or endurance. 2 : power to resist force : solidity, toughness. 3 : power of resisting attack : incapable of being taken by assault = 1 Samuel 1:9-18 (NLT) Once after a sacrificial meal at Shiloh, Hannah got up and went to pray. Eli the priest was sitting at his customary place beside the entrance of the Tabernacle.[d] 10 Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord. 11 And she made this vow: “O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut.[e]” dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut.[e]” 12 As she was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her. 13 Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking. 14 “Must you come here drunk?” he demanded. “Throw away your wine!” 15 “Oh no, sir!” she replied. “I haven’t been drinking wine or anything stronger. But I am very discouraged, and I was pouring out my heart to the Lord. 16 Don’t think I am a wicked woman! For I have been praying out of great anguish and sorrow.” 17 “In that case,” Eli said, “go in peace! May the God of Israel grant the request you have asked of him.” 18 “Oh, thank you, sir!” she exclaimed. Then she went back and began to eat again, and she was no longer sad. - Unselfish Care - Unrelenting Petition - Unshakeable Faith - Undying Love ------------------------------ ANNOUNCEMENTS: - PRAYER: Call or eMail Us… 775-786-1017 | Church@SecondBaptistReno.org - LIVE, In Person Sunday Worship - For OPEN DATES & REGISTRATION: SecondBaptistReno.org - Want to become a part of the SBC family?

“It's More Than Sunday” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:41-47‬ (‭NIV)‬‬ “Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:41-47‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/111/act.2.41-47.niv I. Dipped Into Christ II. Devoted to Community III.

“Secret Disciples” John 19:38-42 (NIV) “Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.” John‬ 19:38-42‬ NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ - - https://www.bible.com/111/jhn.19.38-42.niv Risked Popularity Risked Power Releases Unlimited Potential (Power) ------------------------------ ANNOUNCEMENTS: - PRAYER: Call or eMail Us… 775-786-1017 | Church@SecondBaptistReno.org - LIVE, In Person Sunday Worship - April 18 9a & 10:45a - REGISTER NOW!
