    Having a relationship with God is paramount in your calling as a believer. God comes to you, God discovers you he is calling you. There is on old hymn which proclaims it so clearly: Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me;

    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

    Speak Lord, I Am Listening

    Today we’ll be reflecting on how important “listening” is when it comes to our relationship with God and to what the Corinthians were not hearing.

    1 Samuel 3:1-10 1 Corinthians 6:(9-18) 19-20; 10:13 1 Kings 8:27 One activity that human beings really aren’t very good at is listening. It’s surprising, really. There doesn’t seem to be much to the art of listening – you just sit there and nod your head at the ...read more

    Samuel was ready to hear from God. He had a servant’s heart (practice), he was in the tabernacle (proximity) and he was willing to listen (position).

    How Do I Know God's Will? Series

     | 4,158 views

    The last burning question that was asked: How do I know God’s will? Simply put: by learning to wait on the Lord. However, waiting is active not passive. Through Samuel we can gain some insight into how we might go about this.

    The Burning Question How Do I Know God’s Will? March 9, 2008 1 Samuel 3:1-11 Well, this is a tricky one. In fact there are really no easy answers. Basically I want to suggest an emphasis today. This is what has worked for me and for thousands of others who follow Jesus. It works like this. How do ...read more

    One of the most frustrating things about prayer is that we seem to be doing all the talking. How do I "hear" God’s answers if He’s not "answering" me?

    OPEN: The father of a teenage daughter was concerned with the amount of time she spent on the telephone; not so much for the time she wasted (he had given up on that long ago), but because nobody else could use the phone. So, as a happy solution, he had a telephone installed for her with her ...read more

    The phrase He that hath an ear let him hear appears 14 times in the Bible this is interesting because the number 14 is considered to be a symbol of salvation and deliverance. The 14th day of the 1st Hebrew month called Nisan is the Passover.

     | 6,084 views

    This sermon examines 1 Samuel 3:1-20, the story of Samuel and Eli, and gives lessons on, what defined them, as a dying priesthood, and a rising prophet. These lessons can be applied to our Churches, and lives today, which can result in what spiritual impact we will have on today's world.

    AWAKE OR SLEEPING 1 Samuel 3:1-20 In our text we see a transition from a Priesthood who had taken God for granted, to a rising Prophet, who would awaken a Nation. From Eli to Samuel. Eli means to ascend or "lofty". There are two ways to look at him, as a Priest he was called to ascend ...read more

    God Honors Those Who Honor Him

     | 9,466 views

    The Bible is clear with respect to what pleases God and those things that do not please Him. God wants to honor His people, but they must honor Him as well.

    The sons of Eli did not honor God at all. Eli was guilty of honoring his sons more than he honored God. He ended up paying a terrible consequence for his actions. 1 Sam. 2:29 How must we honor God? I. With your Time ---David sought the Lord early ---Samuel began as a child in his ...read more
