Dedicated Before Day OneParts 1 & 2

One of the greatest truths in the Bible is this: God answers prayer! Hannah was unable to conceive. She was emotionally and spiritually broken over her barrenness.

In this message, Pastor Jeff Schreve looks at the powerful story of Hannah, and reminds us of the eternal impact faithful dedication and obedience can have on the next generation.
