Can You Take A Message?

Contributed by Theresa Ratliff on Mar 25, 2013

God is trying to talk to all of us, but will we heed the still, small voice of God?

My boyfriend Brian and I spend a lot of time walking and hiking. We go all over the place – the woods, the beach, sometimes just around the block. Some of the trails are really flat and wide and easy to walk on. Others are rocky and steep. On almost every hike, we hit a stretch of trail ...read more

How To Hear The Call Of God

Contributed by Mark Eberly on Feb 19, 2008

What does it mean to be called by God? Is it for everybody or just a few people? How do we know it when it comes? How do I hear God calling? These are some of the questions we will look at.

How to Hear the Call of God 1 Samuel 3:1-11 November 11, 2001 Mark Eberly I love the story about the cowboy who was riding along and came upon an Indian lying flat on the ground with his ear pressed to the earth.

How Do I Know God's Will? Series

Contributed by Mark Eberly on Apr 1, 2008

The last burning question that was asked: How do I know God’s will? Simply put: by learning to wait on the Lord. However, waiting is active not passive. Through Samuel we can gain some insight into how we might go about this.

The Burning Question How Do I Know God’s Will? March 9, 2008 1 Samuel 3:1-11 Well, this is a tricky one. In fact there are really no easy answers. Basically I want to suggest an emphasis today. This is what has worked for me and for thousands of others who follow Jesus. It works like this. How do ...read more

Waiting For An Important Call Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 14, 2008

One of the most frustrating things about prayer is that we seem to be doing all the talking. How do I "hear" God’s answers if He’s not "answering" me?

OPEN: The father of a teenage daughter was concerned with the amount of time she spent on the telephone; not so much for the time she wasted (he had given up on that long ago), but because nobody else could use the phone. So, as a happy solution, he had a telephone installed for her with her ...read more

Hearing And Responding To The Voice Of God

Contributed by Harvey Earls on Jun 18, 2007

Designed for those who are seeking to indentify, listen to, and obey God’s voice and calling.

As I write this sermon, I too admit that I have had times in my life where the Voice of God has been hard to discern. As I look back however, those times in my life are usually when there are so many other voices going on that I have trouble focusing in on what God is telling me. How many times ...read more

"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. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions. 2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. 3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and ...read more

The Day Samuel Met Jesus Series

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on Feb 9, 2009

People mistakenly think that young Samuel was a believer when he was helping Eli in the temple. This is not the case. He was an unbeliever. This passage outlines the story of his conversion to Christ, not his call to service.

1. THE UNCONVERTED CHILD "Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him". I know about the Queen of England but I don’t know her. I know about the President of the United States but I don’t know him. Do you know the LORD or do you just know about ...read more
