​Sunday's message explored the calling of Samuel in 1 Samuel 3:10, using the familiar phrase "this call may be monitored" as a lens through which to examine how God pursues us with purpose, patience, and proximity. Drawing on Samuel's journey from confusion to clarity, the message reminded us that every believer carries a calling -- not just those in ordained ministry -- and that God is faithful to keep dialing even when we run in the wrong direction. As we continue through 2026 as a year of new beginnings, we were challenged to answer the call God has placed on our lives, trusting that He has ordained victory in our destiny.
