The Text: John10:27-28 "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will ****** them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can ****** them out of my Father's hand."

The Talk:
I. There are several words we need to study in depth. They are:
1. Eternal Life
     Edifying, evangelizing and encouraging others,
     but you have allowed some sinful pleasure to
     shut you down, and you are wasting your God
    given abilities away.

    A. Wouldn't today be a good day return to God
        and surrender  yourself and your abilities
        back to Him?
      1. God is not angry with you - He is just
          patiently waiting to use you once again.
     2.  Perhaps you have never sincerely believed in Jesus Christ as your personal sin-bearer and savior and you know that to be true - wouldn't today, this moment, be an excellent time to confess with your mouth, complete faith Christ, believing in your heart that He suffered and died for all your sins.?
   3. I'm going to close in prayer, first for you who need to surrender yourself and your talents and gifts anew and  afresh to God's service; and then for you who know you have never believed in Jesus Christ as your sin-bearer and  personal Savior.
4. As I pray, feel free to come forward and kneel in prayer and remain here in front as I have a special departing word for each of you.
