Hineni: Here I Am – Responding to God’s Call (7 Lessons)

Here I Am: Responding to God’s Call

Discover the Power of a Single Word That Changes Everything

Throughout Scripture, one small Hebrew word appears at life-altering moments when heaven meets earth: Hineni—“Here I am.”

From Abraham’s mountaintop surrender to Isaiah’s temple vision, Hineni marks the moments when God called ordinary people to extraordinary faith. It’s the word that captures the heart of discipleship—a posture of listening, trusting, and responding to the voice of God.

In this seven-lesson study, Here I Am: Responding to God’s Call, you’ll walk through the most powerful “Hineni” encounters in the Bible and discover how each one reveals a different facet of faith:

• Abraham – Hineni to Surrender

• Jacob – Hineni to Receive

• Moses – Hineni to Be Sent

• Samuel – Hineni to Listen

• Isaiah – Hineni to Go

• God – Hineni for You

• Jesus – The Ultimate Hineni

Together, these stories paint a breathtaking picture of a God who calls—and of people who answer. You’ll see that Hineni isn’t just a word for prophets and patriarchs; it’s the invitation for every believer to live in daily readiness before God.

This study will help you and your group:

• Recognize how God still calls His people today.

• Cultivate a heart of surrender and attentiveness to His voice.

• Learn how true faith begins not with perfection, but with presence.

• Understand that before we ever said “Here I am” to God, He said it first to us.

Whether you’re studying alone, leading a small group, or guiding a congregation through this series, you’ll be drawn into the beauty of availability—the life-changing posture of saying, “Lord, here I am.”

A Word from the Author

“Hineni isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s the sound of a heart that’s awake to God’s voice, willing to listen, ready to follow, and confident in His presence. This study invites you to step into that posture—to stand before God, not with conditions or fear, but with open hands and an open heart, saying, ‘Here I am.’”

Here I Am: Responding to God’s Call is more than a Bible study. It’s a personal invitation to walk closer with the God who still calls—and still answers.
