This sermon examines the calling of the prophet Samuel as recorded in 1 Samuel, highlighting his background as a child of promise dedicated to the Lord. The message emphasizes Samuel's immediate and humble obedience when God called him, contrasting his response with the spiritual decline of Eli, the high priest. It explores the theological significance of the rare word of the Lord in that era and the weight of Samuel's first prophecy, which declared judgment upon Eli's house. The preacher encourages the congregation to view all service, even mundane tasks like opening temple doors, as ministering directly to God. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to adopt the posture of Samuel, saying, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant heareth,' and to remain faithful in delivering God's message regardless of personal cost or difficulty.

2026 Mt. Carmel Baptist Campmeeting Friday Afternoon

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. (Isaiah 64:3-4) ~~~~~ This sermon was preached at Lamberhurst Strict Baptist Chapel on Lord's Day afternoon. ~~~~~ *1/ A lesson from scripture history. 2/ The truth of the gospel experienced in a way not anticipated by knowing the letter of the word. 3/ To whom the way and the end is prepared by God - "him that waiteth for him"* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the distinction between intellectual knowledge of Christian doctrine and the lived experience of God's truth, using the text of Isaiah 64 to highlight how God often acts in ways that exceed human anticipation. It examines scriptural history, from Noah to the Exodus, to demonstrate that God's interventions are frequently sudden and surprising, requiring believers to trust in His sovereignty rather than their own understanding. The message emphasizes that true faith is forged through personal trials and the daily battle against sin, where grace is proven sufficient in weakness. By reflecting on these experiences, believers are encouraged to recognize the unique work of God in their lives, which marks them as His people. The sermon concludes by pointing to the ultimate hope of heaven, which is also a mystery prepared by God for those who patiently wait upon Him. ~~~~~~ The whole service in Audio only can be found here: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/92226112675840 ~~~~~~

At Calvary, the darkest afternoon became the brightest revelation of God's saving love. Jesus was not merely suffering injustice; He was willingly standing in our place, bearing the judgment our sins deserved. The cross calls us to face the seriousness of sin without losing sight of the greatness of grace. Our rebellion is real, but Christ's sacrifice is sufficient. He remained on the cross because He loved His people. We do not need to excuse our sin or despair over it. We need to bring it to Jesus. As darkness covered the land, our Savior bore what we could never bear. Because He satisfied God's righteous judgment, everyone who trusts Him can rest in this promise: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). The torn temple curtain declares that the way to God is open. Christ has removed our guilt and purchased our freedom. We belong to Him, and that belonging frees us to surrender our time, possessions, and future to His care. Suffering and death cannot overturn His victory. The opened tombs announce resurrection hope: grief is real, but it need not be hopeless. Darkness is not the whole story, and death will not have the final word. Come to Christ with your burdens, fears, and failures. Your safety does not depend on perfect feelings or a flawless record, but on His sufficient sacrifice. The Lamb was slain. The price was paid. In Jesus, you are welcomed, forgiven, and held forever.
