    A sermon about God's Word and God's Visions.

    1 Samuel 3:1-11, 19-21 “God Is Doing a New Thing!!!” This passage begins with an arrestingly modern concept: “The Lord’s word was rare at that time, and visions weren’t widely known.” Do you suppose that this is the way many people in the world feel right ...read more

    God is trying to talk to all of us, but will we heed the still, small voice of God?

    My boyfriend Brian and I spend a lot of time walking and hiking. We go all over the place – the woods, the beach, sometimes just around the block. Some of the trails are really flat and wide and easy to walk on. Others are rocky and steep. On almost every hike, we hit a stretch of trail ...read more

    Samuel is called by God and responds in faith, “Speak Lord for your servant is listening.”

     | 5,929 views

    A short talk given at an early morning communion service. Samuel was young, but his first task after coming to know the Lord was to speak hard words from God to Eli (his mentor!) Will we also speak the truth, in love, to others?

    Samuel was a child, with priestly responsibilities (an interesting fact!) and he was being mentored by Eli in the Temple. Jesus primarily focused upon 12 men. Who has God entrusted to you, to teach and train in the ways of the Lord? “In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many ...read more

    How are we supposed to know when God is speaking to us? How do we know when we are hearing from God or it is an idea from our own brain? 1 Sam 3 has four essential truths of guidance for us in answering this very important topic of hearing God’s voice.
