We need to always be listening for signs that God is speaking to you. Say, When God called Samuel He didn’t use a cell phone! He spoke directly to Samuel.
#Listen to a kids bible study how to#
Show the class how to talk through one end to a friend. Decorate the cups with crayons or stickers. Secure the string inside the cup with tape. Poke a hole in the bottom of each cup and connect them with a string or ribbon about 3 ft. Give each child two Styrofoam or paper cups. The Lord had an important message for Samuel. Eventually he realized that it was the Lord calling him.
Say, When the Lord called for Samuel he thought it was Eli at first. If the child guesses incorrectly then you will say, ‘Go back to sleep’ and someone else will say ‘Come Here Samuel.’ Continue until they pick the correct child. Pick a child in the circle to say, ‘Come Here, Samuel.’ Samuel will then wake up and guess correctly then the two children will switch places and the game continues. One child will lay down in the middle of the circle and pretend to be asleep. We need to listen for God just like Samuel did. God spoke to Samuel and was able to use him even though he was young. God spoke to Samuel and told him many things that would happen soon. Samuel went back to bed and sure enough, again he heard the voice of God calling, “Samuel! Samuel!” This time Samuel answered as Eli had told him, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” He told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you again, say, ‘Speak LORD, for your servant is listening.” And Samuel said: “Here I am!”įinally, Eli realized that it was God who was calling Samuel. “I didn’t call you, go back to bed,” Eli answered a second time.Ī third time God called Samuel and Samuel got up and went to Eli. “I didn’t call you,” Eli answered, “go back to bed.” So Samuel went back to bed.Īgain the LORD called, “Samuel!” Samuel jumped out of bed and and went to Eli. And Samuel said: “Here I am!” he said to Eli.
One night Samuel was sleeping when he heard someone call his name. At first he thought it was the priest, Eli, but then he found out that it was God speaking to him! One day Samuel heard a voice in the temple. Hannah wanted a baby boy very much and when God gave her Samuel she made sure that he was raised in the church. Today our preschoolers will learn the importance of listening to God.Įvery time that you say ‘And Samuel answered’ have the kids respond with ‘Here I am Lord.’ Though Samuel was young he learned that he must always listen to God as God gave him an important message. Once Samuel was old enough Hannah was faithful in taking Samuel to the temple to be raised there. Samuel was the son of Hannah, who prayed that God would give her a son.
