Look back at sermon notes from each Shepherds Conference 2025 general session.
General Session 1 — Abner Chou
The motivation for missions has to be, fundamentally, the glory and the worthiness of Christ.
Our people do not need cheap tricks. They don’t need to be manipulated. They need Christ. Give them Christ. And when they have Him, when they behold Him, when they are captured by Him, they will go to the ends of the earth for Him.
General Session 2 — Joel Beeke
As the people of God, we have the privilege of being part of a magnificent enterprise. God doesn’t need us whatsoever, but He invites us to participate in what He is doing in the world. Something far bigger, far better, far greater than ourselves, and something that will endure forever in the eternal kingdom.
General Session 3 — Michael Reeves
The glory of God makes Christians delight to lift Him up. Because the only true God is so full, so overflowing with life, mission simply flows from who He is. When we proclaim Him, we are joining in with a preexisting mission that does not depend on us for its genesis or its momentum.
