God Speaks – are we listening? 1 Samuel 3 God Speaks – are we listening?

The Word of the Lord was rare (1) God Speaks The Word of the Lord was rare (1) Like today? God was speaking - no one was listening God still speaks through His Son (Heb 1:1-2)In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. Through you?

God calls Samuel by name God Speaks God calls Samuel by name The Word was rare –voice not recognised (7) Runs – obedience Audible voice for Samuel Inner voice Gods Word is the voice

With emphasis “Samuel!” (6 &10) Eli’s surprise God Speaks Three times With emphasis “Samuel!” (6 &10) Eli’s surprise Eli’s sad response “if he calls” God is persistent

I am listening God draws near (10) Theophany? Speak (LORD)? God Speaks I am listening God draws near (10) Theophany? Speak (LORD)? A grave message A serious message

Bravery and Obedience God Speaks Samuel is afraid (15) but tells Eli everything (18) (1 Cor 1 :23) but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, (Mat 13:57) And they took offence at him. But Jesus said to them, Only in his home town and in his own house is a prophet without honour.

God speaks to us God Speaks Samuel is a prophet God continues to speak to him (21) Samuel listens Are we listening? Are we delivering the hard message that can change lives?
