Sermon summary:
Proclaiming Jesus: This lesson by Sam Powell was delivered at the Vision Conference (WDS) in Orlando, FL.
Jesus is the answer, our anchor, our advocate.
Pursuing God and helping people know him is the greatest mission on earth. Jesus is the answer to all the problems in the world. He is our anchor. Baptism is the easy part, staying faithful and growing in your faith can only happen if you are anchored in Christ.
He is our advocate. When Satan accuses us, Jesus says, "Not guilty".

In Acts 2 we read two passages of scripture that form the blueprint for our beliefs. The early church was centred, they allowed themselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. Is Jesus at the centre of our lives?
We all start out the same way, fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The question is: How do you want your life story to play out? God's goodness pursues us. And while things in life won't work out just because you pray, the cross is the greatest evidence of God's goodness. What will you allow him to do in your life?
Yada is a Hebrew word that means "to know". God reveals himself to us through his power, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and forgiveness. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's love for us.
