Imitate & Emulate: Stephen

Stephen1.jpgOur summer series is "Imitate & Emulate."  Whether we're aware of it or not, we live and learn by imitating.  It's a necessary and good part of life.  We all have mental pictures we imitate that guide our behavior - for good and for bad.  The key is to constantly update our mental picture to the highest pattern or model.  Eph. 5:1 says "Be imitators of God."  To do that, the bible encourages us to "Follow those who follow after Christ (I Cor 11:1), i.e. copy the copy!  The first "copy" I called out is Stephen, the church's first marytr.  Amazing young man.  To hear more of what about him is worthy of our imitation, click here for the message (Note: we're breaking in some new sound equipment; we apologize for some of the distortion in the recording).
