Like the Father—by Jake Graham

Sermon recap:
In God's story, he created men and women in his image and invited us to reflect His character and care for his creation. He delights in walking with us—not because we earn his love, but because he freely gives it. Though we often chase false gods, God’s presence remains with us. There’s no image of him because we are meant to represent him. Even when we’re unlovable, the Father still loves us. In Christ, we’re called to live in the freedom and joy of his forgiveness. In case you missed it, you can watch this Father's Day lesson on our YouTube channel, it starts at 43 minutes.
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.
