As Christians, we're instructed to imitate Jesus, right? But is that even possible? Think about it! Jesus was sinless, He performed miracles, and He was God's beloved Son! So how could we possibly come anywhere close to being like Him? Well, today's guest, author Cynthia Heald shares how God Himself makes this possible. Through Scripture, she'll teach you how God shapes our hearts, motivations, and actions so we're conformed into His likeness. Plus, she shares the biggest myths or misconceptions we have when it comes to becoming like Jesus, as well as how to avoid falling into a perfectionist, works-based faith in our attempt to be more like Him. It's time to embrace the call to imitate Christ and discover the joy and fulfillment that come from reflecting His character.

Conforming our lifestyle to reflect the image of Christ! Christ by day Devil by night? At the Club Friday night, in church on Sunday Morning!

If we have been crucified with Christ and we are a new creation, what is that supposed to look like? If we are in the process of being transformed into the image of Christ, what is that supposed to look like? I'm not sure we are looking into that spiritual mirror of our lives, and asking the right questions. There is so much more that happened on that day of our salvation than our names being written in the Book of Life! God didn't save us so that He may create a better version of ourselves. He is in the process of transforming us and preparing us for our entry into His glorious Kingdom. He is transforming us from one stage of glory to another! This is not an idle or casual process that we are involved in with our Heavenly Father! But when we gravitate to the comfortable and convenient, we will see very little transformation and miss out on what the Lord is desiring to do in us, and through us! Open up the gospel and join me in discovering the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in our lives!

Title: Coming to Bear the Image of Christ Speaker: Dr. H. T. Spence Event: Sunday Evening Sermon Date: November 05, 2023 Summary: This is an introduction to several upcoming sermons to present the understanding of the Bride of Christ. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:45–49 Length:
October 22, 2023. Fr. Tyler's homily for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary time. Enjoy! Gospel Mt 22:15-21 The Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap Jesus in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a person's status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God."

So many people have created or imagined images of what Jesus looked like. In the Old Testament, they believed seeing God was deadly or images of God were idolatrous. But then Jesus tells the Apostles that if they have seen him then they have seen the Father! Even more so, those who are his disciples will receive the Holy Spirit and begin to be transformed into the glory of God. People see Jesus and see God's glory in us, by the power of God's Spirit.

As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said, “How do the scribes claim that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said: The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet.'” Mark 12:35–36At the time of Jesus' ministry, the Jews understood that the Messiah would come from the line of David. Furthermore, many thought that the Messiah would simply be a nationalistic leader who would lead the Jewish nation out of the oppression of the Romans. Thus, they reduced the Messiah to a descendent of David who would set them free in a more political way.In the passage above, Jesus gives clarity to this common understanding of the Messiah as the “son of David.” The Messiah would not only descend in human form from David's ancestral line, He was also David's “Lord.” Jesus shows this by pointing to Psalm 110 in which David refers to the Messiah as his Lord. And though this subtle distinction may not at first seem to be that important to us today, Jesus clearly makes an intentional effort to teach this.One key lesson we should take from this passage is that we must work diligently to have a correct image of Jesus. Though today we may not see our Lord as a nationalistic leader who came to set us free from political oppression, we can often form other erroneous images of Him. For the Jews at that time, the idea that the Messiah was also the “Lord” of King David was new. This points to the divinity of the Messiah and His eternal nature. Jesus gives this subtle clarification and “The great crowd heard this with delight.” We also must work to delight in a clear and correct understanding of Who Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God and Son of Man truly is. So Who is He?To answer this question, first consider how you see Jesus in your life. Jesus is your friend, a wise teacher, an inspiring personality, a kind soul, a merciful leader and a model for us all. But He is also so much more. To pick only one image of Who Jesus is and to then give that one image excessive focus in our lives is an error similar to the error that many of the Jews had at the time Jesus taught them.The “so much more” is the part we must focus on as we consider the identity of our Lord. We must see Him as God, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. As God, He is to be worshiped and adored. And though He was God from all eternity, He also took on human flesh, uniting humanity with divinity. And as a human, He permitted Himself to die so that He could rise in His human nature. This way, if we unite ourselves to Him through a total surrender of our lives, then we will also die in our sin but then rise with Him to new life. In so doing, we are given the gift of eternal salvation and are enabled to share in the eternal life of the Most Holy Trinity. Though much more could and should be said about the identity of our Lord, this slight glimpse into His life should help us to avoid the trap of limiting Who He is in our minds and hearts.Reflect, today, upon the image you have of Jesus. Look for ways that you may unintentionally limit His greatness and glory in your mind and heart. Try to expand that image of our Lord that you have and be open to all that He desires to reveal to You about Himself. The more you do so, the more you, too, will be filled with “delight” as the Person of our Lord is more clearly revealed to you.My infinite and glorious Lord, You are so far beyond our understanding and comprehension, yet You invite us to come to You so that we may know You more fully. Give me the grace I need, dear Lord, to shed the erroneous and limited images of You that I have, so as to come to know You as You are. Jesus, I trust in You.

The Truth in Love: Homilies & Reflections by Fr. Stephen Dardis
Imagine this world without Jesus Christ. No other life has impacted humanity as the life of Christ—He is the only sacrifice to redeem; the only hope for one to have a home in heaven. Now, imagine if WE acted more like Christ. How much better would this world be, friends? This is our study today.

In today's episode, the guys focus on sanctification. Sanctification occurs in two parts: initial sanctification occurs instantaneously when a person is saved and is all God's work. This initial change involves being set apart for God and delivered from the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of Christ. After conversion, we spend the rest of our earthly lives going through progressive sanctification, which is grounded in God's work of conforming us more and more to the image of Christ as we are involved and responsive. We play a passive role through dependence on God, and an active role through obeying and yielding to God. God will ultimately complete the work He has begun of making us each holy as He is holy, but He uses our involvement as a means by which He completes this work. Since we were made positionally holy at the time of initial sanctification, progressive sanctification is actually the process by which we become who we already are in Christ. We are new creations, and as the flesh and Spirit continue to war within us, we can know that the completion of our sanctification is sure! There are several different views of sanctification, and the guys highlight the Wesleyan view with its practice of waiting for God to simply sanctify people out of certain sins. Contrary to this view, the testimony of Scripture is that we must not sit on our hands, but rather get up and get moving! The sign of a true Christian, the guys explain, isn't that someone has arrived. Rather, it is that someone is sensitive to sin, continually responding to it by repenting and turning to Christ. As the conversation winds down, the guys talk about the need for patience and accountability in relationships among Christians, as well as the importance of being in the Word every day. We need to hear from God if we are to be changed; this requires the self-control of a daily commitment, and at times may require developing a taste for the different flavors of Scripture through increasing in knowledge of God Himself. Ultimately, all the effort required of us is well worth it, as we can see the sweet reality of God renewing us after the image of His Son! Thanks for listening!
