     | 5,773 views

    Like Samuel and Eli, we don't always initially recognize God's Ring Tone, but God is calling to us, and our job is to listen.

    As most of you know, I had planned to be at Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center, completing an intense Mini-MBA course this past week. But last Sunday afternoon, I had a strong sense that I wasn’t supposed to go. As I told that to (my husband) Gary and then to Wanda (our congregational ...read more

    Ministry and hearing God's voice are important aspects of our service to God. The more we learn how to hear from God, the more we receive godly instructions. In this message we will learn how Samuel heard from God and shared this to Eli.

    Through constant prayer and worship, we can hear God's voice. The more we hear Him, the more we receive fresh instructions from God for daily living. We need to hear Him speak to us on how we should act and what we should say to people. We need to hear Him how we should budget our finances well. We ...read more

    Do you really have God’s call upon your life? If so, what has He disclosed to you? What are you doing about it? Have you consulted your mentor or pastor about it? Are you completely captivated by God?

    Opening Illustration: Narrative of how my call came about. Introduction: In the focus text, Samuel lives in a precarious time when “the word of the LORD was rare” (verse 1). This is a continuation of the problem at the end of book of Judges where “all the people did what was ...read more

    A sermon that considers the 2-way nature of prayer, rather than just approaching it as a time for God to listen to us.

    On January 4, 1987, Oral Roberts launched his most notable campaign to date. He told his followers that if he didn’t raise a total of 8 million dollars by March, God was going to take his life.

    The story of the boy Samuel provides clues to hear more clearly from God: we need to cultivate our environment, obey with what we do know God wants, and listen with a servant's heart. In doing so, we set ourselves up to be better listeners and obeyers.

    Is God Calling You?

    Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Jan 14, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,450 views

    We all were called to serve God through the works of our hands and our intellect. No matter what we do, we are responding to our calling. God still calls each of us but we do not know how to receive God's message because we do not recognize the call.

    The idea of calling or vocation outside of the priesthood is a protestant idea that came with the reformation. It was believed then, as at now, that we are called to different vocations in life and whatever we do is a result of our obedience to a divine plan. Therefore the carpenter was in service ...read more
