    There are so many different voices we listen to when we need help. There is the voice of God - the one we should listen to above all.

    OVERCOME BY LISTENING TO GOD 1 Samuel 3:1-16 Introduction There are so many different voices we listen to when we need help. There is that inner voice, the one we talk to when we are alone. There is the voice of friends - who may/ may not be Christians. There is the voice of experts - offering ...read more

    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

    Quiet Games - Pt. 1 - The Silent Treatment Series

    God seems to love the "Quiet Game" and seems to be the world's most skilled player. How can you hear Him when He seems to be so quiet?

    Quiet Games Pt. 1 - The Silent Treatment I. Introduction It is a scam. A ploy. I am convinced it is nothing more than a well disguised trick to get a momentary respite and break from the barrage of sound that emanates from a classroom full of rowdy 2nd graders. I am talking about my least favorite ...read more

    God is always teaching, the question is are we listening?

    Let us continue to learn from the Book of 1 Samuel; please open your bibles there….. We noted from the first 2 chapters of 1 Samuel about Eli the High Priest who was a compromising believer. Eli was called to be a leader for God but he did not totally follow God and allowed sin in the ...read more

    He Is Calling You By Name

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,171 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

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Oct 28, 2013
     | 12,275 views

    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

    God is calling us first to salvation, then after salvation He calls to serve Him.

    Introduction: I played a joke with the congregation. I had someone call my cell phone while I began to preach. I would stop the call several times and say it must be tele-marketer and would stop the call. My phone rings again, this time I answer it. I pretent it is God talking to me on the phone. I ...read more

    Your Servant Is Listening

     | 11,605 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

    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

    Bridge Builders (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday After Epiphany)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021
     | 1,818 views

    What is a priest? One way to think about what a priest does is to compare them to being a bridge builder. Why that analogy? A bridge connects pieces of land that are geographically separated, much like a priest helps people connect with God.

    BRIDGE BUILDERS (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday after Epiphany) Text: I Samuel 3:1-10 1 Samuel 3:1-10  Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.  (2)  At that time Eli, whose eyesight had ...read more

    Salvation Foreshadowed In The Tabernacle

     | 2,722 views

    The arrangement of the Tabernacle can only be clearly understood through the revelation of God's plan of salvation revealed in Jesus Christ. It is an amazing thing to see and humbling to know we don't deserve it and yet we can have it by grace through faith in Jesus! Hallelujah!!!

    Wake Up And Shine

    Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jun 16, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,005 views

    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

    Samuel Never seen before in 2024! Maybe today we could say never heard before in 2024 – which is about hearing the voice of God in a day when few hear it or even listen to it!
