Welcome to Stevenston High Kirk for our Morning Devotions.

As Samuel begins his life in the temple with Eli, God has been silent for many, many years; so, it's no surprise that he doesn't recognize the Lord's voice when He first calls. It may be even more difficult to hear God today, but He is still with us. But, even more important than how we listen, is how we respond to what we hear - an expository sermon from 1 Sam. 3:1-21. Sermon begins at 24:45.

What can we tell from a person's eyes?
