Can God Speak to Me?
Constantly, God comes to us in place after place, continually asking: "Can you hear me now?" Can and will God speak to you? To do so, you musty be listening. ARE YOU?
This message looks at the lives of three of the key players in the first half of 1st Samuel--Hannah, Eli and Samuel. Each were in their own waiting rooms of life, waiting for God to speak and act on their behalf. They each have different things to teach us about what to do and not do during those times of life where we seem to be waiting for God to move, speak or act.
Using the call of Samuel as a paradigm for hearing from God, Pastor Paul helps us to (1) Listen And Hear The Voice Of God, (2) Hear And Understand The Word About Christ, and (3) Understand And Respond To God's Call In Christ.
V.	Living Sacrifice - A Biblical Truth •	As Christians, we're called to give ourselves to God as a "living sacrifice." •	I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:1-2) VI.	Living Sacrifice - Dying to Self •	How do we truly present ourselves to God as a living sacrifice? 1.	We must die to our prior selves.
