    Samuel learned early in life what it took to succeed with God, and it made all the difference in the world.

    ATTENTION: No one sets out to fail. A recent series of advertisements for an Internet company portrayed children speaking facetiously about their mediocre aspirations for the future. As much as we laugh at these absurdities, the sad ...read more

    Do we listen as God speaks, Do we even know what He sounds like?

    When God Speaks, Who Listens? 1 Samuel 3:1-10 Professional athletes, as a group, are not noted for their oratory skills – off the playing field, that is. From what I understand, several of them are highly efficient when it comes to getting under the skin of their opponents by the use of verbal ...read more

    SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT (1 SAMUEL 3) In The Last Days Newsletter, Leonard Ravenhill tells about a group of tourists visiting a picturesque village who walked by an old man sitting beside a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one tourist asked, “Were any great men born in this village?” The old man ...read more

    Who are the Elis and Philips in our lives? Do we realise that God calls us often through the least likely of people and circumstances?

    Sermon for 2 Epiphany, Yr B 19/01/2003 Based on I Sam 3:1-10 & Jn 1:43-51 “Who is Calling?” By Pastor Garth Wehrfritz-Hanson This Sunday I want to begin by complimenting the international ecumenical committee for their wisdom and inspiration in selecting the biblical passages that they did—since ...read more

    Samuel’s call was timely because the priesthood of Eli’s family line had been defiled and compromised by his sons Hophni and Phineas.

    WHEN GOD CALLED SAMUEL Text: First Samuel 3:1-10 We have all heard of a thing called tough love. Tough love is when one confronts another with unyielding consequences. Tough love does not yield to the ones who want to bend the rules. Tough love is tough because it reminds the ones or the ...read more

    God calls us, but we tend to ignore His call.

    1 Samuel 3:1-10 The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions. One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and ...read more

    1 Samuel 3:1-20 “Listen! God is Speaking” By: Rev. Kenneth Emerson Sauer, Pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church, Newport News, VA Many of us can probably relate to how the people felt in Samuel’s time: “In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.” This was a ...read more

    Epiphany 2: Does God still speak with us today? How can we tell if what we hear is God’s voice? How do we position ourselves to better hear the Word of God? This message attempts to answer these questions.

    Here are three questions that I want to answer in this message: 1) Does God really speak to people? 2) If so, how do we know that it is God Who is talking? And finally, 3) How do we position ourselves to better hear the voice of God? In order to answer these questions, we’re going to look at Samuel ...read more

    The Priesthood has failed so God raises up a prophet to bring his word to his people. God uses the circumstances of Hannah to bring about his plan.

    I doubt that Samuel realised just what was in store for him as he began his service of God in the Temple with Eli. No doubt it began as a fairly simple routine of lessons and chores with plenty of time for games. As a young child he would have been looked after by the many people who worked and ...read more

    Stewardship sermon....kind of, sort of. God calls us to both ministry and stewardship - but expects obedience First joke is not funny, but is a set up for later

    A certain Jewish couple, expecting to the their first child, argued hotly about what name should be given to their little boy. This went on for weeks. Finally, exhausted, they asked their rabbi to intervene. The exasperated mom-to-be said, "I want to name my child after my father, but my husband ...read more
