Jesus said that His children would hear His voice and follow Him. They would not follow a stranger. This is how we know we are His children when we hear His voice and follow Him. If we are not |His children we will be totally disinterested in listening to His voice. Often a Christian will be down cast and fear that they do not belong to the shepherd. Those who do not belong have no fears of this kind, they are totally disinterested in the good shepherd. So be encouraged, if you want to follow the shepherd it is because He has put that desire in your heart and He will draw you to Himself where you will be safe forever.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
