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.

Words have the power to build up or break down. Speak with grace, avoid double-speak, and use words that reflect love, especially with our children.
God made us in His image to reflect his character. He loves us freely and calls us to walk in his presence and live in the freedom of forgiveness.
Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
