    When God Called Samuel

    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. Tough love does not yield to the ones who want to bend the rules. Tough love is tough because it reminds the ones or the ...read more

    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

    God spoke to Samuel and God is speaking to us...are we listening?

    1 Samuel 3:1-20 “Listen! God is Speaking” By: Rev. Kenneth Emerson Sauer, Pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church, Newport News, VA Many of us can probably relate to how the people felt in Samuel’s time: “In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.” This was a ...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

    “Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ And Samuel answered, ‘speak, for your servant hears” 1 Samuel 3:10.

    Theme: Speak Lord, your servant is listening Text: 1 Sam. 3:1-10; 1 Cor. 6:12-20; Jn. 1:35-42 The letter to the Hebrews begins by telling us “In the past, God spoke to our ancestors many times and in many ways through the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son, Jesus ...read more

    The Call Of Samuel And The Fall Of Eli Series

    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

    God is still calling people to follow him into full time ministry and we must hear his voice and respond.

    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

    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

    Many of the failures of todays world to enact the gospel are the result of human pride. Only by God’s grace through self-denial can we hope to overcome

    As men there are two things that are certain: 1. We are always going through trials. . 2. We are always being tempted.

    Intro: I remember as a little boy not any older than six years old playing football in my friend Michael Holman’s front yard.

    People tend to listen only to what they want to hear. Why do we do that to God and how can we learn to listen when He speaks?

    People have a tendency to listen only to what they want to listen to… Keith Downing shared a story about his Uncle Dick.

    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
