    What Is Your Calling? (Part 5) Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,657 views

    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 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

    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.

    Hearing God’s Voice By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer Jr. OPENING:- I want to start this message out by telling two brief stories. The first is:- There once was a man that whispered, “God, speak to me.” And a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled, “God, speak to me!” and ...read more

    Listening, hearing and acting on the call of God.

    “Eh?” 1 Samuel 3:1-11, 19 Raise your hand if you sometimes have a hard time hearing God or discerning God’s voice. Interruptions define our lives, do they not?

    Are you a good listener? Not listening many times means you’re going to miss something important. How about listening to the Lord? Are you a good listener? Samuel is a good example for us to follow when it comes to listening to the Lord. How does the Lord speak to us? Why should we listen?

    Are you a good listener? Maybe instead of asking you, I should ask your spouse, or your children, or your parents. Are you a good listener? There are certainly some people that are better listeners than others and you’ve probably experienced that in your life. A person who is a sympathetic ear, ...read more

    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

    A soul that thirsts for the living God will hear His perfect will for their lives in the footprints of communication He has left, through creation, His word, the Holy Spirit, through other believers and by listening.

    Central Idea: Are you paying attention to those moments (Kairos) when God is trying to get your attention?

    When we lived in Michigan I woke up early in the morning and found myself in that place between wakefulness and dreams. I heard these babies crying and realized that I don't have babies anymore. They were grown up. What I heard was 2 cats fighting on the fence… Sounded like babies crying. I ...read more

    How To Keep Your Vision Alive

    Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Mar 13, 2023
     | 3,619 views

    It takes a God-like vision to make positive difference, bring transformation and to impact our generation for the Lord. But having a God-given vision is not important as being able to keep the vision alive.

    Vision is simply the ability to see what God is doing and the role apportioned to you in bringing it to reality. Your God-given vision is one of the most important reasons for your living. When there is no vision of God to be accomplished with one's life, the purpose of living becomes ...read more

    “Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ And Samuel answered, ‘speak, for your servant hears”. (1 Samuel 3:10)

    The world we live in today is not the world our grandparents lived in and it certainly will not be the world our grandchildren will live in. They will live in a completely different world and age. The world has seen many different ages. It has seen the stone age, the bronze age, the iron age, the ...read more

    In this sermon I want us to concentrate on one thing from these two scriptures in our text.

    Look at… (1) John 10:27, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (2) I Samuel 3:9, 1 Samuel 3:9 Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth.

    Do We Need To Wake Up Our Spiritual Life?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022
     | 936 views

    Have we fallen asleep spiritually? God is calling us to wake up, so what are we to do?

    In verses 1-5: Despite the fact that God had spoken straightforwardly and perceptibly with Moses and Joshua, God’s Word had become uncommon during the three centuries of rule by judges. By the time Eli was High Priest, there were no prophets speaking God's messages to the children of Israel. ...read more
