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".

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.
