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".

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.
