Podcasts about imitating

I used to work with a woman named Madge, who was an amazing cook. “You should taste my pea and ham soup!” she said one day. After replying that I really didn’t like peas, Madge smiled and said, “You will after you try my soup.” The next day she handed me a container of her soup, made especially for me. “Did you try my soup?” Madge asked me a couple of days later. “I will—soon!” I said, hoping she wouldn’t ask me again. But she did—the next day, and the next. “Don’t leave it too long or it’ll spoil,” she added on the fourth day. A week later, Madge’s uneaten soup had spoiled and I threw it away. I felt dread as she approached me. “You did try my soup, didn’t you?” she asked. “Yes,” I said. “It was . . . delicious.” In Ephesians 4, Paul calls us to deal with speech-related sins like angry words (v. 26), unwholesome talk (v. 29), and slander (v. 31). But before these comes a more basic call to “speak truthfully to your neighbor” (v. 25). I had looked at Madge and told her a lie. I knew what I needed to do. I walked into Madge’s office, confessed my lie, and sheepishly asked for her forgiveness. Madge walked to me and gave me a hug. “Of course I forgive you,” she said. “How could I not, when I know how much God’s forgiven me?”

Paul put himself forward as someone who did "all things for the glory of God." That's quite a claim and he challenges us to follow his example.

Paul urged first-century Christians to follow his example. Why? Because he was a true servant of Christ. But his argument for this might surprise you. It was radical in his day, and even more so in ours.

Sermon Title: Making the Love of Christ Your Great Quest Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 13 & 14, 2 Thessalonians 3:5, Ephesians 5:1-2 I. The Mandate: Love as the Primary Pursuit In the Christian walk, there is a distinct hierarchy of spiritual priorities. While the church often emphasizes power and gifts, Scripture redirects our focus toward love as the "more excellent way." The Command to Pursue: 1 Corinthians 14:1 instructs us to "Pursue love." The Greek word used here is dioko, which means to eagerly chase or hunt, much like a predator pursues its prey. The Difference Between Desire and Quest: You are told to desire spiritual gifts but to make love your quest. You can desire something without chasing it, but a quest requires an intentional, life-altering pursuit. The Goal: Love must be your "bullseye"—the very center of your spiritual aim. II. The Futility of Gifts Without Love 1 Corinthians 13 highlights that the highest levels of spiritual operation are rendered useless if they are not fueled by love. 1. Spiritual Utterances If you speak in the tongues of men or even angels but lack love, you are merely a "sounding brass" or a "clanging cymbal." Without love, powerful prayer and tongues become an "empty sound" that is frustrating and irritating rather than transformative. 2. Revelation and Knowledge One can understand all mysteries and possess all knowledge, yet if love is absent, the person is "nothing." 3. Miracle-Working Faith Even faith that is powerful enough to remove mountains is profitless without the component of love. 4. Extreme Sacrifice Giving all your goods to the poor or even giving your body to be burned (martyrdom) profits you nothing if the motivation is not love. Correction on Human Love: Often, we mistake "kindness" or "human affinity" for God's love. True Agape goes beyond loving those in our circle; it is a supernatural disposition. III. The Superiority of Love The Bible establishes that love is the greatest of the abiding virtues. The Abiding Three: Faith, hope, and love remain, but love is the greatest. The More Excellent Way: 1 Corinthians 12:31 transitions into the love chapter by promising to show us a way that is superior to all spiritual offices and gifts. IV. Defining the Quest: Walking in the Love of God To pursue love is to pursue the very nature of God. Directed Hearts: 2 Thessalonians 3:5 is a prayer that the Lord "direct your hearts into the love of God." This implies that our hearts need divine navigation to stay aligned with His love. Imitating the Father: Ephesians 5:1-2 calls us to be "imitators of God" as dear children. The Standard of Christ: We are commanded to "walk in love, as Christ also has loved us." This is a sacrificial love—one that gives itself up as an offering. V. Practical Application: An Excellent Church An "excellent" church is not defined by its social gatherings or the fame of its leaders, but by its operation in love and the Spirit. Love Removes Barriers: When a church walks in the love of God, tribalism, social status, and personal offenses disappear. Gifts Flourishing in Love: Spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, miracles) should be evident in the church, but they must be exercised through the "more excellent way" of love to be effective. A Burden for the People: The greatest drain on a leader is not the exercise of power, but the emotional labor of counseling those who are not walking in love and are thus easily frustrated or offended. Conclusion and Call to Action Make the love of God your Great Quest. Do not be satisfied with merely being "spiritual" or "gifted." Ask the Holy Spirit to direct your heart into a love that is sacrificial, consistent, and modeled after Jesus Christ. Prayer Point: "Lord, direct my heart into Your love. Let my life be an imitation of Christ's love in every word and action."

Philippians Principle 6 – Imitating Christ To live worthy of the gospel, we must live in harmony with one another, demonstrating Christ's attitude of unselfishness, humility, and self-sacrifice.NEW! - Let us know what you think of the program! Support the show

This series aims to move beyond social media snippets and explore Christianity and sexuality with biblical depth, empathy, and "dripping compassion".The Question Before the Questions Before diving into the complex "what abouts" regarding pronouns, policies, or specific Bible passages, this sermon poses one fundamental question: "Do you love God the most?". Drawing from Matthew 22, Pastor Mike highlights Jesus' teaching that the first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This means placing God's Word above personal desires, cultural trends, and even church traditions.The sermon outlines two primary reasons why we must prioritize God's perspective in the conversation on sexuality:1. God always speaks the truth: Unlike human experiences or cultural shifts that can be mistaken, God's Word is always right, true, and faithful.2. God always acts in love: God is the definition of love, demonstrated most clearly through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, who took on the "muck and mire" of our sin so we could be washed pure.Pastor Mike shares the stories of individuals like Beckett Cook, St. Augustine, and Rachel (a lesbian student at Yale), all of whom discovered that finding God was "bigger and better" than their sexual passions. Their lives testify that when we are persuaded by God's character of truth and moved by His gospel of love, we are finally ready to navigate the nitty-gritty questions of identity and orientation.What to Expect in This Series: This sermon is a commitment to a holistic, five-week journey. In the coming weeks, the church will tackle:* Imitating the God of love in our hospitality and mercy.* Imitating the God of truth regarding specific passages in Genesis, Leviticus, and the New Testament.* Practical questions regarding same-sex attraction, gender identity, and how the church should respond to the LGBTQ community today.Join us as we commit to being here for the "whole thing," starting not with ourselves, but with God.

The famous Missionary, David Brainerd, once said that "the essence of true religion is the soul's conformity to God." This idea is something that we see clearly in Ephesians 5:1-2, where the Apostle Paul gives a beautiful summary command for the Christian life. He says that we are to "be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." A Christian is someone who has been recreated after the very likeness of God (Eph. 4:24) and now they live in such a way that reflects God's own holy character. Perhaps the greatest way that we imitate God is by walking in love and reflecting the way that Christ has loved us and given himself for us."Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." - 1 John 4:7-10

In 1 Corinthians 4:14–21, Paul closes out four chapters of teaching by shifting his tone from sarcasm and rebuke to something far more personal: a fatherly appeal.

This sermon discusses the christological portrayal of Christ Jesus taking the form of the Isaianic Suffering Servant, as it is depicted in Phil 2:5–11. Instead of suggesting that a divine figure descended from heaven to become man, Paul illustrates King Jesus refusing to exploit his messianic privileges, choosing instead to embody the role of the Servant depicted in Isaiah 52–53. Paul expects his readers to imitate the example of Jesus, the human king who chose to serve others in obedience to the true God.  To view the video version of this episode, go here: https://youtu.be/aDyQ2-5FaeM              Visit Amazon to buy your copy of A Systematic Theology of the Early Church: https://amzn.to/47jldOc    Visit Amazon to buy your copy of Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John: https://amzn.to/3JBflHb     Visit Amazon to buy your copy of The Son of God: Three Views of the Identity of Jesus: https://amzn.to/43DPYey    To support this podcast, donate here: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks    Episode notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Op1khHSuVb8AL3WzAL4wp5T6NnnTiMNDBPDqzMY17XU/edit?usp=sharing       Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BiblicalUnitarianPodcast        Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/biblicalunitarianpodcast  Follow on X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/OneGodPodcast

If the silence is deafening and you need immediate triage, start with my free guide: The 5-Minute Prayer Reset. https://midnightcarmelite.com/darknightThe entrance into the Dark Night is often blocked by a fundamental disorientation: we attempt to navigate the "void" without a North Star. St. John of the Cross identifies the first movement toward conquering the appetites as a habitual desire to imitate Christ. However, many people attempt to imitate a projection rather than a Person. We must move past emotional sentimentality and into a rigorous, interiorized study of the Gospels. Without the blueprint of the Word, the soul lacks the necessary coordinates to bring its life into conformity with the Divine.Why true union with God is impossible without the mediation of the historical and mystical Christ.Understanding spiritual growth through the lens of craftsmanship—moving from external mimicry to internal mastery.Identifying why "not knowing" Christ's reactions in Scripture leads to a breakdown in the active purgation of the senses.How to maintain the habit of imitation even when the internal state is dominated by frustration or sadness.

Read OnlineJoseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home…” Matthew 1:19–20In Jewish tradition, righteousness meant living in full conformity with God's covenant. This included keeping the Law of Moses, but also having faith in the Lawgiver—God. One does not become righteous by external observance of the Law alone, but by faith in God. Recall that “Abram put his faith in the LORD, who attributed it to him as an act of righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). Saint Paul explains that Abraham was righteous because “He did not doubt God's promise in unbelief; rather, he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God and was fully convinced that what he had promised he was also able to do” (Romans 4:20–21). Noah was also identified as righteous, because “Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6:9).Today, we honor another man Scripture defines as righteous: Saint Joseph. By calling him righteous, the Gospel associates him with these fundamental Old Testament figures who lived by faith, but it also elevates Joseph above them all, given that his faith bore witness not to the Old Testament Covenant, but to the Messiah. His fidelity to God's call to care for and protect his immaculate spouse and the Christ Child, even at personal cost, is an inspiring witness. It shows us that righteousness is ultimately expressed in sacrificial love and trust in God—trust that brings forth the Savior of the World.Joseph's righteousness is expressed not in words but in actions. He listens to God's angel in a dream and responds with complete trust, taking Mary into his home and embracing his role in the mystery of the Incarnation. Joseph's faith is especially manifested by the fact that what the angel revealed to him and asked him to do was confounding. He was asked to believe that his spouse became pregnant “through the Holy Spirit” and that her Child “will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Joseph's response manifested faith, courage, and generosity: “When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home” (Matthew 1:24).Joseph emulates the response we must all make to God. Like Abraham, whose faith was tested when God asked the unthinkable, Joseph's faith informed and guided his human reason with the mystery of God's Wisdom. Like Joseph, we are often called to trust God when His plan surpasses our understanding. Whether it involves our vocation, a trial, or an unexpected turn in life, Joseph's example teaches us that faith allows us to see with God's eyes, guiding our reason to respond with trust and obedience. Imitating him takes courage, but like Joseph, we must hear God say to us, “Do not be afraid.” Walking by faith, not by sight, takes courage, fidelity, and resolve.Today's Solemnity especially highlights Joseph's vocation as husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Though he was a carpenter, the primary way he fulfilled his God-given responsibilities was to care for his wife and Child. He did this by providing for them and protecting them, fleeing to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath, and later to Nazareth, far from his hometown of Bethlehem. His fidelity to God's will, especially in taking Mary as his wife, likely brought confusion and misunderstanding from his extended family and associates. Yet Joseph accepted this earthly shame with grace, choosing obedience to God over the opinions of men. For him, God's will came first, and his faith in action was the source of his righteousness.Reflect today on the vocation and mission God has given to you. No matter your calling or life's circumstances, there will always be tests and trials. The true test of our righteousness is not found in the avoidance of trials, but in the way we face them with faith and trust in God. If the Father in Heaven would permit Saint Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Christ Child to face earthly struggles, then we can be assured of the same. Today, Saint Joseph teaches us how to respond to those trials. Ponder those difficulties that you tend to avoid or complain about, and imitate Saint Joseph by seeking God's mysterious will and following it with all your heart. Saint Joseph, you were righteous because you believed in God's mysterious plan and acted upon it with unwavering faith. Pray for me, that I may imitate your example in my life's vocation. May I never run from my duties, but embrace them with courage, humility, and trust in God's will. Saint Joseph, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Ephesians 4:32-5:1-21 - Imitating God by Calvary Chapel Irmo

What if the most practical life you could live begins with love you can measure? We begin our walk through Hebrews chapter 13 and translate towering truths into choices you can make today: loving the church family with warmth and integrity, welcoming strangers with generous wisdom, and remembering prisoners as if chained beside them. This is everyday faith with traction, not theory—an approach that changes how we see people, spend time, and open our doors.We also pause to thank those who taught us the word and to learn from their example. Imitating tested faith keeps us steady while we fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. That unchanging center helps us spot strange teachings that overpromise and underdeliver, swapping grace for gimmicks. Grace strengthens the heart where rituals cannot. If you're longing for a faith that meets you where you live—at your table, in your budget, in your relationships—Hebrews 13 offers a clear path.If this conversation helped you take a step toward practical, joyful obedience, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review.

Elder Gowens' 1/18/26 sermon is based on Philippians 2:5-11. In the context of Paul's ethical call to spiritual unity, the apostle cites the example of Christ's radical humiliation as the model for Christian humility. This rich Christological passage embodies the very heart of the Gospel message. This is message #12 in the exposition of Philippians.
