How Do I Know God Is Calling Me?

In this powerful exploration of God's calling, we delve into the timeless story of Samuel's encounter with the divine voice. This narrative from 1 Samuel 3 serves as a profound reminder that God calls each of us personally and purposefully. We're challenged to consider: Are we truly listening for God's voice in our lives? The sermon emphasizes three key ways we can recognize God's calling: through His Word, confirmed by His Spirit, and affirmed by His people. Just as Samuel initially mistook God's voice for Eli's, we too might struggle to discern God's call amidst the noise of life. However, we're encouraged to lean into Scripture, pay attention to the Holy Spirit's promptings, and seek wisdom from mature believers. This message invites us to respond like Samuel, saying 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening,' and to step out in faith, knowing that our ultimate satisfaction comes from walking in God's unique purpose for our lives.
