1 Samuel 3:1-14

God establishes Samuel as His prophet by revealing His word to him and announcing judgment on Eli’s household for their persistent, unrestrained sin. In a time when God’s word was rare in Israel, the Lord calls Samuel to listen and faithfully deliver His message. This passage highlights the importance of hearing and obeying God’s voice and reminds us that spiritual leaders are accountable to God for confronting sin and upholding His truth.
