    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

    God calls, and we are responsible to return His call. Yet we will only respond to that general call if God calls us specially, in a way that melts down our natural resistance to Him.

    Returning Your Calls (Romans 10:13-21) Intro 1. I do not particularly enjoy the world of phone message recorders. I am glad they exist, and I have one at the office. 2. Sometimes people leave important messages. 3. Sometimes the message is not crucial, but it communicates a piece of ...read more

On Tuesday, as the Worship Team prepared for rehearsal someone asked about the cross. It was said that it looks so much ...read more
