"How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You?"

Contributed by Spencer Homan on Jan 19, 2009

This is a sermon based on the call narrative of Samuel. It motivates us into our own call... especially in times of a spiritual droubt.

1 Samuel 3:1-20 The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli.

What Is That In Your Hand?

Whether they lined up against the wall of the gymnasium, the local ice rink or the snow bank for the back-roads hockey, it was always the same. The leaders picked him last.
