Psalm 113 - A Song for the Childless

Psalm 113 opens with the image of a woman weeping over a negative pregnancy test — and it meets her there. This expository sermon explores Psalm 113 through the lens of Hannah, possible author of the psalm and mother of Samuel, uncovering three commands to praise and three blessings of God's condescension: visibility, exaltation, and life. From the origin of "Hallelujah" in Hebrew to the stunning claim that the womb of a virgin is the most barren place in history, this message offers profound hope for the childless, the suffering, and a creation groaning for redemption.
