    sensitivity

    Intro: one of the questions that many people ask pastors is, “how does God communicate with us, or make Himself known in our lives. Hearing from God, knowing God, is a very important subject to many new believers and those that have served the Lord many years. Tonight, I would like to give the ways ...read more

    1 Samuel 3: 1 – 21 Do You Hear What I Hear? 1 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli.

    He Is Calling You By Name

    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

    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.

    Are you listening to God? Do you know how?

    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. One evening he sat in a chair on the far side of the room. Her back was to him and she could not see him. Very quietly he whispered, "Can you hear me?" ...read more

    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

     | 33,515 views

    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

    What happens when we are to busy to talk to God or let Him talk to us?

    Ever tell God to "SHUT UP"? 1 Sam 3:8-10 I don't like the words "Shut Up" never have, but over and over more and more people are telling God they have heard enough, they don't want to hear anymore, they are telling God to shut ...read more

    The end of one priesthood, and the promise of another.

    A FAILING PRIESTHOOD. 1 Samuel 3:11-20. What an initiation into the ministry of God’s Word! The boy Samuel was now informed of the judgment which the LORD had already given against the house of Eli (1 Samuel 3:12-14; cf. 1 Samuel 2:30-31).
