About this Bible story

One night, God called Samuel while he was sleeping. He didn't know it was God at first. When God called again, Samuel answered, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.' (1 Samuel 3:10). This marks the beginning of Samuel's special relationship with God.

Speak, for your servant is listening.

1 Samuel 3:10 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

As the kids color, ask them, 'How can we listen for God in our everyday lives?' Focus on the moment when God called Samuel, reinforcing the importance of being attentive to His voice. You’ll need crayons and perhaps some glitter for a fun follow-up activity!

More about these Bible coloring pages

When we colored the Samuel pages, I noticed how curious my 4-year-olds were about his story. They really connected with the moment God called him, saying, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.' (1 Samuel 3:10). Each of the 6 images includes key moments, like Samuel in the temple and Eli helping him understand God's voice. It was wonderful to see their excitement as they filled the pages with color. On Friday, I plan to incorporate a discussion about listening for God’s guidance while they color. It's a great way to reinforce the lesson! We can chat about how we can listen for God in our own lives.
