The Call Of Samuel And The Fall Of Eli Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 20, 2003

The Priesthood has failed so God raises up a prophet to bring his word to his people. God uses the circumstances of Hannah to bring about his plan.

I doubt that Samuel realised just what was in store for him as he began his service of God in the Temple with Eli. No doubt it began as a fairly simple routine of lessons and chores with plenty of time for games. As a young child he would have been looked after by the many people who worked and ...read more

Can God Hear The Prayers Of The Unsaved?

Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Feb 16, 2014

I've had many people that are no more saved than the man in the moon tell me "I pray all the time!" Is this right? Can God hear the prayers of the unsaved? I'd say the answer is no...for the most part.

Can God Hear The Prayers Of The Unsaved? Back in April, I had the opportunity to witness to a young woman who was not saved.
