Arnold Schwarzenegger - now, that's not exactly a stage name. But, boy, he became a star! And in case you haven't been around for a while, you know Arnold Schwarzenegger became one of Hollywood's hottest properties and then the Governor of California; the bodybuilder who became a movie star. In fact, I'm often mistaken for him on the street. Uh-huh. He's made the cover of magazines, and apparently when he's in a movie it has guaranteed a big draw at the gate. Of course, he built his reputation first as a bodybuilder, he was Mr. Universe, or Mr. Milky Way or something. But he is impressively strong. He began lifting weight to train for the local soccer team back in his home country of Austria. And he got up early to lift in the morning, and then he'd race to the gym after school. His hero, he says, was a Mr. Universe who had starred in several Hercules movies. He said, "He was everything I wanted to be; a champion, a muscle film star, a great businessman. My parents," Arnold said, "thought it was strange. Most guys had posters of girls all over their walls; I had a guy flexing." Well, you know, that's an interesting insight into how we become a certain kind of person. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "More Like Jesus?" Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 1 Peter 2, and I'll begin reading at verse 21. "Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps. He committed no sin, no deceit was found in His mouth. When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate. When He suffered, He made no threats." This says here that we have an example, and it's the way that Christ lived His life. In fact, this word example, if you go back to the original Greek language of the New Testament, is the word "copy head." It literally was the copy head that they put at the top of a school child's slate. So when he's trying to learn the alphabet, he kept looking at how the letters should be formed until he made it just like it was on the copy head. Now, Peter says Christ is our copy head. He's saying, "Keep looking at Jesus, and you'll start to respond as He did." Arnold Schwarzenegger said he became strong because he kept looking at a picture of a strong man; someone who was "everything he wanted to be." Well, I'll tell you this, "Jesus is everything I want to be." How about you? Everything he said was trusted, because there was no deceit in His mouth. There were no marks on His holiness. He acted in situations; He did not react. He suffered with grace that embarrassed those who caused the suffering. How do you get to be like that? By daily looking at Him. Read the Gospels frequently in your personal quiet time, and compare your responses to your Lord's. Review your major life situations with Jesus daily and ask Him to help you see what He sees. Make your magnificent obsession this question, "What would Jesus do?" It often won't be what you feel like doing, or what our culture says to do, or what seems to be your right to do, but risk everything on doing what your Master, your model would do. It means you have to dedicate yourself to becoming an expert on Jesus. See, there's no lazy way to do this. If you will daily, consciously, and stubbornly model yourself after Him, you'll start to make the kind of difference He made. Be sure Jesus is the picture that you just keep looking at.

Welcome to the first episode of the More Like Jesus podcast series for May Mission Month 2025.

And Jivan speaks about his journey from Nepal to Sydney to Hobart, and the inspiring work of Hobart Nepali church in reaching out in love to the growing Nepalese community of their city. Jivan and Mel are passionate people who love God and love people!

What would your tombstone say? This week on Beyond Sunday, Josh, Michael, Paxton, and Justin dive deep into the new sermon series on death—and it's anything but gloomy. From AMC-vibe sermon bumpers to tombstone one-liners, the conversation gets real about legacy, faith, and the brevity of life. The team reflects on how death shapes the way we live, love, and lead—offering both laughter and heartfelt stories, including a powerful testimony about reconciliation and grief. It all points to this truth: death is certain, but hope is even more certain when you know Jesus.   They also unpack the power behind worship songs like More Like Jesus and Lamb's Book of Life, reminding us of the freedom we have through Christ—and the importance of sharing that hope. With Easter on the horizon, the hosts highlight a full slate of events—from the Eggstravaganza to Good Friday to two Easter services at the Bruce Convention Center. This episode will challenge you to live intentionally, speak life, and invite others to the hope of eternity. ASK A QUESTION - TELL A STORY - CONNECT WITH US

More Like Jesus Series - Part 1

2025 Theme"More Like Jesus"

We're starting the new year off right, desiring to become more like Jesus! We'll be in Romans 12 and learning 3 practical tools to implement daily to make our year the best one yet.

Philippians 2:1-162 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. 14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.  The Life worthy of the gospel: UNITY  Phil 1:27 Conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ...as you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.  Christian Life: Becoming more like Jesus 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! The Problem of Grumblingv14 Do everything without grumblingGrumbling & Immaturity  Grumbling & Blaming Proverbs 19:3 A person's own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the Lord. The Example of Israel in Exodus I Corinthians 10:9-10 9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.Numbers 11:1-2 Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the Lord and the fire died Numbers 14:26-29 26 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 27 “How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites. 28 So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say: 29 In this wilderness your bodies will fall—every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.  Grumbling: Faithlessness Jude 16 These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.  How do we deal with grumbling?  Repentance to God the Father  Remembrance of the Son Dependence on the Holy Spirit

Ps Josh shares the third and final part of our generosity series More Like Jesus this week looking at how we can be more like Jesus with our finances.

This week Ps Walter brings us the second part of our series More Like Jesus as we delve in what it looks like to be generous with our service.

Today as we celebrate that He is Risen, we wrap up our series “More Like Jesus”, and today Pastor Jodi teaches that if the resurrection of Jesus is not real, there is no reason to believe in what He said. However, if it IS real, we have the promise of a NEW LIFE in Christ and eternal life after we die. That is why we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus on this special Sunday!Key Scriptures:John 14:19. Rom 6:4-10, Luke 24:1-12, 1 Cor 15:14-17,19

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Jodi teaches on Evangelism. Evangelism is a word that is often scary and misunderstood, but Jesus has called every disciple to do it. Come and learn to evangelize like Jesus as we demystify the command to proclaim the Good news!Key Scriptures:Mark 16:14-20, John 4:4-7, 13-14, 26, 29-30, 39-42, Mat 9:36-38

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Jodi teaches on the mercy of forgiveness. One of the biggest hindrances in our spiritual growth is being bound by bitterness, which hurts us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Jesus forgives immediately, completely, and constantly when we ask. In this message, we will explore how to forgive and walk in forgiveness for the rest of our lives.Key Scriptures:Luk 23:32-34, 17:3-5, Mat 7:3-5, 6:12, 2 Cor 2:10-11, Heb 12:14-15, Eph 4:32

2024-03-10: More Like Jesus: Well Done!Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Jodi teaches how our fulfillment as disciples of Jesus comes through discovering and serving with the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit has given us. As we allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to us who we are in Him and how He wants to work in and through us we can be fully released in our purpose and calling in life.Key Scriptures:Mat 25:20-23, 20:26-28, Rom 12:4-8, 1 Cor 12:4-11, Eph 4:11-16, 1 Pet 4:10-11

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Kuulei shares how finding our identity in Christ alone can be a struggle, especially with so many external influences. It's only when we come to know Jesus personally and surrender our lives to Him, that find our true identity... in Christ alone!Key Scriptures:Gen 1:27, Psa 139:13-16, Rom 3:23, 6:23, 12:2, Eph 1:4-6

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Jodi teaches about how to be completely consumed with the indwelling power of the Spirit of the living God! The person of the Holy Spirit is mysterious and often misunderstood. As we grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus, and yield to the Holy Spirit we can be baptized, filled, and led by the Spirit of Jesus that He sent to us to lead and guide us into all truth. The Bible has plenty to say about the Holy Spirit. Key Scripture Passages:Mat 3:11, 4:1, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33, Acts 1:4-5, 8:14-17, 19:1-6, 2:4, 4:31, 16:6, Rom 8:14, Gal 5:16-18

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, with fears surrounding the economy and financial provision, our radical God calls us to do radical things for radical results. God is so generous and so “other than” us and He asks us to become generous like Him to build our faith and bless Him and others. Generosity is beneficial to our health, mental health, and financial stability. Today Pastor Jodi shares 10 Truths about Generosity and how to prepare to be radically changed to the glory of God!Key Scripture Passages:Pro 11:25, Lev 27:13, Mal 3:8-12, Mat 23:23, Luk 11:41-42, 6:38, 1 Chr 29:14, Psa 37:21, 112:5, 1 Tim 6:18. 2 Cór 9:6-13

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Kuulei shares how to love more like Jesus.

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Jodi shares how there are so many different churches and models of churches, but the church of the first century offers us a great example of the things that are important to do and be as a body of disciples. Jesus calls the church His bride and He loves the church! Hear the vision of the Adventure Church and the ways we are encountering the Lord, encouraging one another, and engaging with those around us as we take the church to the next level in 2024!Key Scripture Passages:Acts 2:42-47, Eph 4:16, 1 Cor 12:14-27, Mat 5:23-24, Mark 11:17

Continuing our series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Ira talks about Jesus's view of the Bible, the reliability of the Bible and the ways to engage and live these ancient eternal truths. Jesus's entire life and ministry was dependent on the Word of God. If we want to be Jesus' disciple, being more and more like Jesus, then we might want to learn this dependence as well. Key Scripture Passages:Matt 5:17-20, Luke 18:31, Rom 3:21-22, Psa 1:1-3

Continuing our new series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Jodi finishes the 2 part message on Prayer. It can be a super intimidating concept. How did Jesus pray? What can we learn from the way He modeled prayer to us?This two-part message demystifies prayer and provides insights into not only some of the ways Jesus showed us how to pray, but also what He taught about how we can pray practically, effectively, and in a life-giving way.Key Scripture Passages:Matt 6:5-13, Luk 11:1-13, 18:1-8, Rev 8:3-5

Continuing our new series “More Like Jesus”, today Pastor Jodi starts a 2 part message on Prayer. It can be a super intimidating concept. How did Jesus pray? What can we learn from the way He modeled prayer to us?This two-part message demystifies prayer and provides insights into not only some of the ways Jesus showed us how to pray, but also what He taught about how we can pray practically, effectively, and in a life-giving way.Key Scripture Passages:Luke 18:1, Mark 9:28-29, Isa 53:12, Luke 22:32, Rom 8:34, Heb 5:7, 7:25, Matt 14:23, Luke 5:16, 6:12, Mark 1:35, Matt 26:36,39,42,44, Matt 6:9-13

Continuing our new series “More Like Jesus”, today we are joined by Pastor Kevin from our Philippines Campus, who teaches on fasting and how desperate times call for a desperate hunger to have more of Jesus in our lives. Join us as we kick off our 21 days of prayer and fasting as a church by digging deeper into what it means to need Jesus more than anything else.Key Scripture Passages:Luk 5:33-35, Ecc 7:4, Joel 2:12, Isa 58:3-9, Psa 69:10, Mat 6:16-18, Dan 9:3-5, 19

Today we start a new series “More Like Jesus” as we prepare for this upcoming Year of Discipleship, Pastor Ira talks about what a disciple is and how to grow as one. Our culture in many ways has reduced this age-old path of transformation into simply an “affirmation,” which leads to a weak and joyless effort. Join us as we understand how to walk in the fullness of life that Jesus came to give us.Key Scripture Passages:Matt 4:18-22, Eph 2:10, 1 Kings 19:19-21, Luke 6:40, 2 Cor 3:18, Jam 1:23-24, Matt 4:4

Acts 4:1-13. This passage recounts a time when Peter and John boldly stood up to those confronting them about their preaching. When someone meets us for the first time, they quickly form an opinion of who we are and where we have been based on our words, attitudes, and actions. This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman, the final in our series of "More Like Jesus" for 2023, examines our lives to see if, like Peter and John in Acts 4:13, there is evidence that we have "been with Jesus."

Have you ever struggled with comparison, performance, relationships, or the desire to be someone else? Have you ever felt lonely and misunderstood? I sure have. Which is why I am so happy to be joined by my dear friend Nicole Jacobsmeyer today. Nicole and I have had countless conversations this past year as we have sought to deepen our experience and understanding of humility, comparison, suffering, pain, faith, perseverance in Christ, self-awareness, discipline, and the spirit of performance. So, today we are here to invite you into the dance of surrender to discover the attractiveness of true worship. In this episode, Nicole and I embark on a beautiful journey of self-reflection, vulnerability, and biblical insight that aims to leave you inspired and encouraged, and reminds you that you are not alone. We explore the intricate dance between our actions and our motives. Nicole and I dive into the question of why we engage in all our various activities. Are we doing them to show off or to offer praise? We reflect on the concept of sacrificial worship and its presence in our everyday actions. The journey of faith is not always easy, and we all face seasons of doubt and questioning. Nicole shares her personal experience of pain, evil, and suffering, and the impact it had on her view of God. We discuss how she embarked on a journey to understand God's character through the lens of her own suffering. Through it all, she discovered the privilege of suffering with and for Christ. But our conversation doesn't stop there. We go further, exploring the impact of social media and the role it plays in our lives. Nicole shares how she had to set boundaries with social media, questioning whether it is truly necessary to be a part of it. We delve into the motives behind our posts and the need for authenticity. Are our online lives aligned with our offline selves? Do our loved ones and colleagues affirm the person we present online? This candid discussion between two friends, who have journeyed together on various topics over the past year, serves as a heartfelt invitation to all those struggling with comparison, performance, and the desire to be someone else. Join us as we challenge the prevailing narratives of comparison, performance, and the prosperity gospel. We uncover the truth that genuine kindness, love, and grace come from Jesus and our identity in Him, not from our achievements or striving. We discuss the importance of a personal relationship with Christ rather than being driven by materialistic prizes or external measures of success. Throughout our conversation, one message shines through - our purpose as Christians is not in what we do, but in the Person we serve, who is the Lord. We explore surrendering to God and the beauty of walking humbly and serving others. So, if you've ever struggled with comparison, performance, relationships, or the desire to be someone else, this episode is for you. Join us as we dive deep into these topics and seek to uncover the true flavors of the gospel in our lives. Let's dive together into this insightful and thought-provoking conversation with Nicole Jacobsmeyer, right here on Gospel Spice. May you be encouraged, inspired, and filled with the joy of knowing that God is always by your side, carrying you through the highs and lows of life's dance.

More Like Jesus is a song with ties all throughout Philippians. As we explore those ties, we are rewarded with a precise insight as to how we may pursue a life that is lived more like Jesus.

In this part of our "More Like Jesus" we take a good look at the issue about Abortion. When the Supreme Court over-turned Roe v. Wade in 2022, they said it was an issue for each state. This Tuesday, the people in our state have the opportunity to vote on the abortion issue. So what's your “Gut Reaction”? Is what you believe determined by the commercials that run, non-stop? Or is what you believe determined by the agenda & algo-rhythms of a political party? Or perhaps your conviction about abortion is the result of a personal experience. One thing is clear from the Word of God: Everyone in this situation, the women & men involved, as well as the unborn babies, are created in the image of God and are worthy of life and grace. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marysvillechristian/message

Every person is always searching for something that defines who they are in this life we live.  When we look at the life of Jesus, it is then that we discover who we were truly called to be.  Join Pastor Joel as he teaches from Colossians 3:10-14 on the subject "More Like Jesus."   To support this ministry financially, visit www.starkvillecog.com/give

John 13:1-17. We continue our 2023 congregational theme of "More Like Jesus." This study focuses on the time Jesus washed the feet of His apostles, as recorded in John 13. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines how God can make us a servant, just like Jesus.

Luke 2:41-52. This passage provides some insight into the early life of Jesus and includes His first recorded words. This is the initial sermon in our 2023 congregational theme of "More Like Jesus."

"More Like Jesus" from Pastor Pat Nemmers

We really need to consider what it means to be a follower of Jesus, and to be like him. Jesus was betrayed, doubted, persecuted, had no social life, spent 40 days fasting in prayer, and was crucified. We have to ask ourselves; do we really want to be like Jesus? What we focus on develops in our lives, and if we are relying on the one who has given us life to the fullest, everything else will be added to us. The bible shows us that we shouldn't be anxious because it weighs us down, but to life by faith, not sight. When we put the truth above our feelings, we are inside of God's order for our lives. Are you allowing your feelings to dictate what is truth in your life? Are you dealing with anxiety that's weighing you down? Do you have questions about who Jesus is and what it means to walk by faith? Then reach out today – burnthickory.com/next. We'd love to answer any questions and pray with you.
