Answering God’s Call in the Fields

About this episode

This sermon explores how God calls His people to trust His purposes and listen for His voice in everyday life.

When God rejected Saul as king, Samuel had to learn to trust that God’s purposes were still unfolding. In this sermon on 1 Samuel 16, we consider how God calls His people today—not only to dramatic roles, but to faithful obedience in the ordinary places of life. Following God’s call means learning to trust His purposes, listen for His voice, and see as He sees. Sermon text: 1 Samuel 16:1-13
