In this message, as we continue our sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” we get a lesson in parenting as we consider the wickedness of Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phineas, and the servanthood of little Samuel.

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we move into the birth narrative of Samuel.

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we draw closer to the suffering and heartache of Hannah. Her life shows us a vivid picture that God is alive and well even in the worst of our brokenness.
