Graduation Service—by Jacques Genis

Sermon summary:
If you had to summarise your life in six words, it would help you focus on what's most important. There's an open door in front of us, and boundless opportunities to embark on a new adventure. We can choose to walk through the open door instead of longing for the good, old days; ask great questions and be willing to learn, and be willing to endure hardship.

Psalm 23 paints God as our shepherd—guiding, providing, and protecting. In Jesus, the Good Shepherd, we find the same care. Choose godly community over isolation, grow through mentorship, and live to reflect his love in a world that needs it daily, faithfully.
Jesus, the Bread of Life, meets our deepest needs. We chase power, comfort, and distractions, yet still feel empty. True satisfaction is found in him alone. Feed your soul daily with God’s Word before anything else, and let him be your centre.
Living like Jesus means denying self, sharing the gospel in every season, trusting God in hardship, and reaching the lost with grace, courage, and faith.
