Sunday’s theme is “Called and Recalled.” The focus scripture is 1 Samuel 3: 1-20.
The story reminds me of God saying, “Can you hear me now?” as young Samuel tries to discern who is calling him. Samuel needs his teacher and priest, Eli, to help him discern that the voice must be from God.
What does it mean to be called by God? Who gets called by God? How & why does God call us? God’s ‘call’ can be difficult to discern; it takes prayer and time. God can speak in many ways – through people you know (like Samuel), in dreams, in hearing the same need expressed several times. What is important to know is that we are ALL called by God to be God’s hands and feet doing God’s work in the world. We are ALL called by God to be our best selves, to love our neighbors AND our enemies.
Join us for more of this conversation on Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
