👂 [Whisper softly] “Pssst… can you hear that?!”
“Shhh… is someone calling your name?”
🎤 Say a name softly: “Ema, Isaac, Nathan, Juan, Ella, Joshua…”
What would YOU do if someone called your name in the middle of the night?
Let’s meet a boy named Samuel. He lived in God's house (the temple) and helped a priest named Eli. He served, learned, and loved God.
But one night… something strange happened. 😮
😴 “Everyone close your eyes… pretend you're Samuel sleeping.”
👂 Suddenly, whisper gently: “Samuel…”
Samuel: “Huh? Someone called me!”
🏃 Samuel runs to Eli: “Here I am! You called me!”
🙅 Eli: “No, I didn’t call you. Go back to bed.”
🔁 Repeat 3 times:
✨ On the 3rd time, Eli says:
“Next time, say: ‘Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.’”
🙏 When Samuel hears it again, he says:
“Speak, Lord, I’m listening!”
🎉 That was the start of Samuel’s calling — and God spoke to him his whole life!
How old do you think Samuel was?
Do you think you're too young for God to speak to you?
💡 Samuel didn’t wait to grow up. He said YES to God right away.
➡ His life belonged to God from the very beginning!
👂 Make a silly face like you're trying to hear.
“God doesn’t always shout — we have to be still and listen.”
🎁 Hold up a wrapped gift: “This is your life. It’s a gift!”
Who do we give it to?
🎯 Answer: “To God!”
“When we say, ‘My life, my call,’ it means we give it ALL to Him!”
Pretend to answer a phone.
📞 “Ring-ring! This is God!”
Will you answer? Or let it go to voicemail?
If God called you today, what would you say?
Would you say, “I’m too busy,” or “I’m too young?”
👉 Or will you say: “Speak, Lord, I’m listening!”
