Message Notes
I am not writing these things to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children. For even if you had ten thousand others to teach you about Christ, you have only one spiritual father. For I became your father in Christ Jesus when preached the Good News to you. So I urge you to imitate me. —1 Corinthians 4:14-16
Characteristics of Jesus:

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. —Luke 23:34
6) Sacrificially loving
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. —John 3:16
IMITATION WITHOUT LIMITATION
Digging Deeper: Live it out
Did your family grow up playing games like Pastor Kevins did? Examples: ISpy, Slugbug, the alphabet game, etc.
As a child are there any good or bad behaviors you copied from your siblings and parents?
How did you change those habits if they were bad ones?
How would you like to imitate Jesus’ walk? Examples: Care for others, connecting and growing with other believers, extending grace to others, speaking in truth, compassion, and serving others.
