The God Who Speaks

When God speaks, a person is never the same again. We see this in the experience of Samuel, a young boy chosen by God to become an influential leader.
 
In this sermon, we learn about How to Hear God's Word, but equally importantly, How Not to Hear God's Word, as in the case of the old man Eli.
 
You can know when you've heard God's Word because you will:
Want to believe;
Want to follow, and;
Want to grow

Seven Churches: Thyatira

Sean Russell preaches on the danger of compromise within a church, especially when some things appear to be going quite well.
 
Rather than excuse our compromises, we must see them as Jesus does - as a dangerous threat to the very life of the church.
 
Yet for anyone who hears the warning of Jesus, there is grace and power to be victorious.

Deadly Leadership Fails and How to Beat Them

Leadership fails can be catastrophic for all who are connected to the leader in question. In this sermon we see two forms of catastrophic leadership fails - in the church and in the home.
However, when all seems to be falling apart, God is quietly raising up a deliverer. Samuel gives us a pattern of how to beat leadership fails - but more importantly he points us forward to the perfect leader who never fails us - Jesus.

Experiencing Deliverance

Anyone who experiences God's deliverance power will never be the same again.
 
But how do you know if you qualify for God's deliverance in your life? What sort of person must you be, or what must you do to obtain it?
 
Hannah's prayer of thanks shows that some people can receive God's salvation and some people cannot. But who are they?
 
In this sermon we examine how God secures our deliverance; and how you know when you've been delivered.
 
We finish by describing three signs that you will demonstrate to help you know if you've experienced God's deliverance.

Delighted to Deliver

God is delighted to deliver his people. He raises up a powerful leader to prepare the way for God's king. That leader's name is Samuel.
 
But like many significant figures in the Bible, Samuel had a miraculous birth story. His mother Hannah could not have children and she bore the deep anguish and pain of this cycle of childlessness.
 
However, she is an outstanding model of how to handle our agony and disappointments, and indeed how to enter the process of seeking deliverance.
 
We are likewise to follow her in pouring out our hearts to God, and seeing our own cries for deliverance on the background of God's big picture of ultimate deliverance - through his own Son.
