    Do We Need To Wake Up Our Spiritual Life?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022
     | 1,018 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

     | 17,882 views

    The story of the boy Samuel provides clues to hear more clearly from God: we need to cultivate our environment, obey with what we do know God wants, and listen with a servant's heart. In doing so, we set ourselves up to be better listeners and obeyers.

    1 Samuel 3:1-20 Hearing More Clearly from God Prophets with a Purpose – week 1 Today we’re starting a five-week series I’m calling, “Prophets with a Purpose.” A prophet or prophetess is someone who speaks for God. In a way, I’m a prophet as I deliver this message. When you encourage or correct ...read more

    Is God Calling You?

    Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Jan 14, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,251 views

    We all were called to serve God through the works of our hands and our intellect. No matter what we do, we are responding to our calling. God still calls each of us but we do not know how to receive God's message because we do not recognize the call.

    The idea of calling or vocation outside of the priesthood is a protestant idea that came with the reformation. It was believed then, as at now, that we are called to different vocations in life and whatever we do is a result of our obedience to a divine plan. Therefore the carpenter was in service ...read more

    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
     | 4,086 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

    Second Sunday in Course 2024 Samuel was a prophet, but he was not aware of that until he was literally shaken from sleep by God.

    Do We Need To Wake Up Our Spiritual Life?

     | 1,246 views

    Have we fallen asleep spiritually? Is God calling us to wake up? If so, what are we to do? Can we see any similarities with our Scripture and Christians today?

    Our passage of Scripture finds Samuel and Eli to be a little older, but Samuel is still referred to as a boy. Samuel hears his name called while he is sleeping in the temple just before dawn. He quickly approaches Eli, who tells him to return to bed. Samuel is informed by Eli that it is the Lord ...read more
