Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jan 12, 2012

A sermon about God's Word and God's Visions.

1 Samuel 3:1-11, 19-21 “God Is Doing a New Thing!!!” This passage begins with an arrestingly modern concept: “The Lord’s word was rare at that time, and visions weren’t widely known.” Do you suppose that this is the way many people in the world feel right ...read more

Speak Lord, I Am Listening

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Jan 17, 2012

Today we’ll be reflecting on how important “listening” is when it comes to our relationship with God and to what the Corinthians were not hearing.

1 Samuel 3:1-10 1 Corinthians 6:(9-18) 19-20; 10:13 1 Kings 8:27 One activity that human beings really aren’t very good at is listening. It’s surprising, really. There doesn’t seem to be much to the art of listening – you just sit there and nod your head at the ...read more

Discerning The Voice Of God Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 25, 2010

In order to hear the voice of God we must have the right: 1) Closeness (1 Samuel 3:1-6), 2) Confirmation (1 Samuel 3:7-9), 3) Center of attention (1 Samuel 3:10-15), and finally: 4) Compliance (1 Samuel 3:16-20)

Hearing And Recognising God When He Speaks To Us

Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Sep 28, 2009

We all hear and experience God in different ways with some it is through thoughts, feelings, inner voices we have to recognise God’s voice and respond to it.

Christianity is unique among religions, for it alone offers a personal relationship with the Creator beginning here and now, and lasting throughout eternity. Jesus declared, “This is eternal life – that they may know God” (Jn. 17:2). Unfortunately, many in the Church miss the great blessing of ...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

Night Calls - A Call To Serve Series

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 24, 2010

God often deals with us at night. In the deepest night God brings Israel out of Egypt. At night God wrestles with Jacob. At midnight God looses Peter’s chains. At night Paul hears the Macedonian call. In the middle of the night God calls Samuel to serve.

Night Calls – Part One: “A Call to Serve” 1 Samuel 3:1-21 Introduction: God’s word declares that “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” As such we often equate times of trouble, of difficulty, of spiritual lows with the night. We speak of the thief coming in the night; of death stalking at ...read more

The Call Of God

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Dec 15, 2008

This morning I want to look at the life of Samuel because his life is a good example of what ministry is all about. And I’m taking about ministry that takes place in the life of ordinary, everyday people... people just like you and me.

THE CALL OF GOD 1 SAMUEL 3:1 I read the legend of a man who found the barn where Satan kept his seeds ready to be sown in the human heart. And he discovered that there were more seeds of discouragement than any other kind. He also learned that these seeds could be made to grow almost ...read more

Hearing From Heaven

Contributed by Alton Coleman on Feb 4, 2008

Oftentimes, we get so busy listening to the cries of our everyday duties and the “hustle and bustle” of life, that, if we are not careful, we will miss hearing the most important voice of all. That of our Lord!!
