    Night Calls - A Call To Serve Series

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 24, 2010

     | 17,818 views

    God often deals with us at night. In the deepest night God brings Israel out of Egypt. At night God wrestles with Jacob. At midnight God looses Peter’s chains. At night Paul hears the Macedonian call. In the middle of the night God calls Samuel to serve.

    Night Calls – Part One: “A Call to Serve” 1 Samuel 3:1-21 Introduction: God’s word declares that “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” As such we often equate times of trouble, of difficulty, of spiritual lows with the night. We speak of the thief coming in the night; of death stalking at ...read more

    Samuel - Speaking The Words Of God Series

     | 6,036 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

    What does the story from 1 Samuel 3:1-10 tell us. That can be applied to the church

    The Sleep, The call, The answer. (where the word preach Is by itself It is meant as a reminder to let the spirit lead and not just read notes) 1 Samuel 3:1-10 1And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there ...read more

    Your Servant Is Listening

     | 11,596 views

    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. Comparing himself to the apostle Paul, Roberts begged not to let Satan defeat him. "God" he said, ...read more

    Samuels Secret

    Scripture tells us that not one word that Samuel spoke fell to the ground. Every word came to pass! What was Samuels secret? This sermon tells his secret.

    SAMUELS SECRET In this day and age of broken political promises, deception and lies most people feel betrayed by their leaders and institutions, and may I say somewhat embarrassingly the Church. However the Bible tells us about a man “whose words never dropped to the ground” a ...read more

    He Is Calling You By Name

    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,157 views

    The call of God is what makes all the difference in our lives. We do not have to be on our death bed - or dying on a cross next to the Cross of Jesus - in order to hear His word of mercy.

    HE IS CALLING YOU BY NAME. 1 Samuel 3:1-10. The days of the Saviour-Judges were drawing to a close and, as in our own days, “the word of the LORD was rare” (1 Samuel 3:1). There was a dearth in the land, but not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of God ...read more

    A Call To Serve

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

    1 Samuel 3:1-21 “A Call to Serve” INTRODUCTION One of the most difficult theological concepts to comprehend, I believe, is that of call—that the Lord calls us to a specific vocation. Most Christians can accept the idea that pastors and other church professionals have ...read more

    A man was having difficulty communicating with his wife and concluded that she was becoming hard of hearing. So he decided to conduct a test.

    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

    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
