Imitators of God aren't striving to earn a place in the Kingdom—they're simply living from it. As children of light, we expose darkness not by condemning it, but by contrasting it with God's love and life in us. So walk in love, shine with light, and redeem every moment—you carry the Kingdom wherever you go.
Every life leaves a trail—what kind of example are you setting? In his message Mentors and Imitators from 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10, Pastor Fred challenges us to embrace the privilege and responsibility of spiritual mentoring by living a Christ-like example. This message also celebrates moms and encourages them to step boldly into their God-given influence.

In our exploration of James' teachings, we're challenged to move beyond simply hearing God's word to actively living it out. The central message revolves around being 'imitators of Christ' rather than mere 'impersonators.' This powerful distinction reminds us that our faith should transform our entire lives, not just our Sunday behavior. James 1:19-27 serves as our scriptural foundation, emphasizing the need to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. This practical advice resonates deeply with our daily struggles and relationships. The fascinating parallel between looking in a mirror and hearing God's word without acting on it vividly illustrates how easily we can forget or ignore spiritual truths. As we reflect on this, let's consider: Are we building our lives on the solid foundation of obedience to Christ, or are we at risk of being swept away by life's storms? This message compels us to examine the authenticity of our faith and challenges us to let it shape every aspect of our lives.
This week Danny takes us into Ephesians 5. 1-3 with a call to live differently "Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]." Ephesians 5: 1-3 Amplified
2025-02-23 -Eph 5:1-7 -"Imitators of God" by Imperial Berean
This sermon on 1 Thessalonians 1:5b-10 examines the faithful character of the Thessalonian believers and how their transformation became a testimony throughout the region. Paul commends them for imitating Christ and the apostles, receiving the gospel amid affliction with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Their faith was not passive—it led them to turn from idols to serve the living God and eagerly await Christ's return. The preacher emphasizes how the Thessalonians' steadfastness in suffering, fueled by God's power, is an example for all Christians. The message concludes with a call to reject compromise, remain faithful to biblical truth, and live in anticipation of Christ's coming judgment and final deliverance.
In this episode, I talk about telling the difference between experts and imitators, how to know if you're getting the right advice, how to know which questions to ask, how experts will be able to tell you about their failures and what to consider doing differently, observing the true depth of craft and more.CONNECT WITH ME…→ Instagram — @mattgottesman→ Text Me — 480-530-7352→ My Substack — mattgottesman.substack.com → Apparel — thenicheisyou.comRESOURCES…→ Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE→ Workshops — CLICK HERE→ Masterclass — CLICK HEREWORKSHOPS + MASTERCLASS:→ Need MORE clarity? - Here's the FREE… 6 Days to Clarity Workshop - clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play→ Write, Design, Build: Content Creator Studio & OS - Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & incomeOTHER RELATED EPISODES:Your Intuition Isn't Lying To You, It's Guiding YouApple: https://apple.co/4jv1CPnSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3PZ0JB3

In this episode, I review the four main mimics of Parkinson's disease, also called the Parkinson's Plus syndromes. These are multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). I explore the clinical manifestations, investigations, and treatments of these disorders, highlighting such striking features as autonomic dysfunction in MSA, unusual eye movements in PSP, fluctuating cognition in DLB, and alien hand syndrome with CBD. I also illustrate the patient perspectives of the disorders with such illness memoirs as those of Kimberly Bohannon titled The Beautiful Destruction of My Life, of Bill Sydnor titled Living Day by Day With MSA, that of Claire Verney titled Notes of a Love Song, that of Steve Dagnell titled You, Me & PSP, and that of Evelyn Walsh titled Parkinson's Plus: A Woman's Struggle Battling Alien Movements.

The Bible shows that we are going to be imitators. When we hear the word imitator as a Christian we automatically think about being imitators of Christ which the Bible clearly shows that is Who we are to imitate. The Bible also lets us know that we will be imitators of those who have gone before us. We as Believers in Christ should be imitators of Christians who are spiritual and mature and not those who are carnal and immature. Philippians 3:12-21
Have you ever thought about what it means to truly imitate God? We are called to mimic God and live a life of love. Mimicking God means embracing His nature as a giver. In the final week of our series, ‘Overflow,' Pastor Danny Anderson explains that God's giving is consistent, extravagant, and intentional, rooted in His plan for our salvation. God gave His Son for us—and you are never more like God than when you give. How can you reflect God's generosity today? Speaker: Pastor Danny Anderson
Returning to the podcast is Greg Prato. He's just released his latest book titled Led Clones: The Led Zeppelin Imitator Craze of the '80s...and Beyond. Few bands in rock history have proven to be as enduring and influential as Led Zeppelin. And during the '80s, there was an overabundance of "Zeppelin disciples," or, as guitar great Gary Moore once put it, Led Clones. This is the first-ever book to tell the story about Zeppelin's immense influence on the bands and artists who came after them.I ask Greg about many of the bands and artists in the book. The ones who do Zep justice and those who didn't. There are the obvious ones like Kingdom Come, Whitesnake, and Greta Van Fleet while there are others you may be surprised make the book.

Message from John Boyle on October 20, 2024
Everyone needs examples. The Thessalonian believers were able to look at Paul, Silas and Timothy and then through difficulty, repentance, patience and God's word they became the models for the entire region.
My realization and confession for today, as I read the first instance that we know of, of Paul sending a missive with his prayer for a Church (1 & 2 Thessalonians seem to be his earliest letters), I was struck with how little time I take in gratitude for God's work in salvation for those I love. That is going to change. Our Passage 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 in summary. What a list! Thanks and praise for the work of faith and hope in the presence of God.

Ein Mann, der auf einer Wiese Gras isst und muht, wie eine Kuh. Was wie ein schlechter Aprilscherz klingt, ist wirklich in Niederbayern passiert. Und dieser Fall hat einen BAYERN 3 Hörer ziemlich beschäftigt. Alex beantwortet in dieser Folge wieder Fragen zu euren - teilweise sehr persönlichen - Fällen. Im Gespräch mit BAYERN 3 Moderatorin Jacqueline Belle erläutert er zum Beispiel, wie ihr mit Beschuldigungen nach einem feuchtfröhlichen Volksfestabend umgeht, ob ihr etwas gegen Nachbarn mit Fernglas unternehmen könnt und ob sich der Kuh-Imitator aus Niederbayern mit seiner Darbietung etwas zu Schulden kommen hat lassen. ***Contentwarnung: Wir möchten darauf aufmerksam machen, dass dieser Podcast wahre Verbrechen und Kriminalfälle thematisiert und Schilderungen von Gewalt und Sex enthält. Das kann für einige von euch belastend sein.
