    Do we listen as God speaks, Do we even know what He sounds like?

    When God Speaks, Who Listens? 1 Samuel 3:1-10 Professional athletes, as a group, are not noted for their oratory skills – off the playing field, that is. From what I understand, several of them are highly efficient when it comes to getting under the skin of their opponents by the use of verbal ...read more

    Because I am the product of a unique creation, I can accept my personal uniqueness without either inferiority or superiority.

    ACCEPTING YOUR PERSONAL UNIQUENESS Someone who are told not to be inferior swing from one extreme to another, from interior feelings to egotistical feelings. If man is not to feel inferior, neither is he to feel superior. Some people are possessed with illusions or grandeur, ...read more

    Samuel learned early in life what it took to succeed with God, and it made all the difference in the world.

    ATTENTION: No one sets out to fail. A recent series of advertisements for an Internet company portrayed children speaking facetiously about their mediocre aspirations for the future. As much as we laugh at these absurdities, the sad ...read more

    God uses the faithfulness of a woman to begin his work of bringing to fulfilment the promise to make Israel into a great nation.

    Well, the story of the birth of Samuel has everything in it doesn’t it? It’d make a decent plot for a soap opera. There’s domestic strife. Elkanah lived at a time when it was common for a man to have 2 wives, and all the problems you might imagine arising in such a scenario happened. One wife, ...read more

    The Life of Samuel, Part 3 of 5.

    SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT (1 SAM. 3) As I was sitting in my van in a parking lot a month after my 42nd birthday, a strand of hair dropped onto my shirt before my very eyes. Instinctively I picked up the hair to see its color, length, and texture. Negative questions immediately arose: Is it gray? Am I ...read more

    Samuel’s call was timely because the priesthood of Eli’s family line had been defiled and compromised by his sons Hophni and Phineas.

    WHEN GOD CALLED SAMUEL Text: First Samuel 3:1-10 We have all heard of a thing called tough love. Tough love is when one confronts another with unyielding consequences.

    God calls us, but we tend to ignore His call.

    1 Samuel 3:1-10 The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions. One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and ...read more

    Epiphany 2: Does God still speak with us today? How can we tell if what we hear is God’s voice? How do we position ourselves to better hear the Word of God? This message attempts to answer these questions.

    Here are three questions that I want to answer in this message: 1) Does God really speak to people? 2) If so, how do we know that it is God Who is talking? And finally, 3) How do we position ourselves to better hear the voice of God? In order to answer these questions, we’re going to look at Samuel ...read more
