Proclaiming Jesus—by Sam Powell at the Vision Conference
March 27, 2023
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".

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.
Giving is a powerful expression of worship and trust in God. Though He doesn’t need our money, our generosity reflects the posture of our hearts. We honour God by giving from our best, without strings attached, and keeping the promises we've made. Giving is to God—not to man—and it supports the church as a place of spiritual growth for our families and future generations.
We enjoyed a fantastic time of praise and worship and had a communion message by Brendan Devine (it starts at 1:11 mins). If you missed it, you can watch it on our YouTube channel and be uplifted.
