    We learn from ten-year old Samuel the importance of being attentive and obedient to God’s call, for we never know where it might lead

    This morning’s scripture passage is one of my favorites, as it tells the story of Samuel’s call into the ministry, but when we consider the overall context surrounding this story of Samuel’s calling, we gain a much richer meaning. This is true for any biblical passage. The meaning and way in which ...read more
