    Prophets, Shepherds, Poets and Kings is a series delving into the history of the people of God found in 1 and 2 Samuel. Beginning with a longed for baby, leading to a cry for a king and the establishment and dissolution of a kingdom, the series will focus on the lives of Samuel, Saul and David.

    We begin with a woman who longs for a child, and rejoices in an answered prayer as discovered in 1 Samuel 2:1-11.
