Bill Teubl MD discusses 1 Samuel 3, focusing on how Samuel learned to hear God’s voice and the principles we can apply to recognize God’s voice in our own lives. He emphasizes the importance of faithfulness, spiritual clarity, and drawing near to God, while also addressing how God confirms His voice to us and the consequences of resisting it.

  • [00:00] Introduces 1 Samuel 3, where Samuel hears God’s voice, and reads the passage.
  • [03:24] Explains the distinction between God’s voice and His words, referencing John 10.
  • [06:09] Highlights three prerequisites for hearing God:
    • Being faithful in our daily responsibilities (ministering to the Lord).

    • Drawing near to God (James 4:8).
  • [16:25] Notes that God often speaks, but we must learn to recognize His voice.
