Pastor Daniel Batarseh explores 1 Samuel 2, contrasting Hannah’s sacrificial worship with the corruption of Eli’s sons. The sermon emphasizes that true spirituality is proven by lifestyle, not religious position.

• 1True prayer goes beyond asking for things; it is a sacred act of adoring God for who He is.
• 2The spiritual health of a nation and the next generation depends more on the disciplines of the home than the programs of the church.
• 3Knowing God is proven by our actions and attitudes, particularly regarding greed, sexual purity, and how we treat others.
• 4Honoring any person or relationship above God leads to the toleration of sin and the loss of spiritual authority.
• 5God is the ultimate judge of His house; He will remove corrupt leadership and raise up those who are faithful to His heart.
