Summary
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Those words were spoken by Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing before her second birthday. Jesus promises abundant life (an adventure) to those who follow Him. Today we notice three aspects of Jesus’ call to His first followers.
I. Their Character (vv. 16, 19)
II. Their Calling (vv. 17, 20)
III. Their Commitment (vv. 18, 20b)
Learn Your Bible: Meditate on John 10:10 and spend time intentionally and specifically thanking the Lord for the riches He’s poured into your life.
Love Your Neighbor: How can you be the hands and feet of Jesus to a brother or sister in Christ this week?
Live in Freedom: Ask the Lord to reveal how He wants you to live more abundantly in your daily walk.
Talk with Kids: What does it mean that God is faithful?

| 0:40.6 | begins with simply taking the next step. The greatest of all adventures is a life surrendered |
| 0:51.2 | to the will of God. |
| 0:55.6 | I want to repeat that. |
| 0:58.5 | The greatest of all adventures is a life surrendered to the will of God. |
| 1:03.7 | Not many people believe that, |
| 1:07.2 | and that's obvious because not many people do that. |
| 1:11.5 | I think it was Dwight El-Mudy, at least is credited to him often, that he heard somebody say, |
| 1:18.1 | the world has yet to see what God can do through one person totally devoted to him. |
| 1:25.8 | And he thought when he heard that, by the grace of God, I will be that man. |
| 1:32.6 | Why is it such a great adventure to surrender to him? |
| 1:37.8 | Because you never know where it's going to lead you. |
| 1:41.8 | You're only assured that all things work together for those who love God |
