Be King Imitators

Air Date: 2/15/21 - Elvis was the king, but let’s face it, not all of us can do an adequate imitation of Him – nor should we try! However, we ARE expected and equipped to imitate our Savior and King, Jesus Christ. Pastor Nat gives you the whys and hows in today’s episode.

I wash our clothes every week and this week I folded them as well because my wife recently hurt her hand, making it hard for her to do the folding, even though she enjoys doing it. Very small thing, but done with love in mind.

This one today is one of the best I have heard about love and what is love. People who are in sin feel we are being unloving when the word of God spells out sin. We are to love the people but not the sin, doesn't mean you ignore the sin and this is what the secular world feels we should do. But when you said "Love does not endorse nor promote sin nor does it celebrate or promote rebellion from God and his ways" made it very clear to me now. Thank you so much for these devotions as they bring the word of God closer to my heart.

Thank you for sharing and for giving the gift of presence. So many people feel alone today. It's great you're doing that.

Thanks for sharing, Angela. That is a precious gift you're offering.

Hey Joey! Yes, we had a system error today, but it appears to be fixed! Thanks for checking in!

Hi I Pastor Nat today I did not get your Win The Day till 6:45 pm. Which was well strange to but daily devotional I did at 9:45 which when I pulled this up already had my prayer hands marked. I guess because of The Daily Devotional?. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love caste out fear.” 1 John 4:18 He who Loves God must also Love his brother. 1 John 4:21 John 15:13 1Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brother. 1 John 3:16 1 John 3: 17-18 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Father I Praise You and Thank You for teaching us that in all we do we must do with The Love of You. Remembering that we are to visit with Love widows, orphan Children and those who are in need. For Father it is Your Love unconditional that we must Love You first allowing us to Love all others no matter whom they may be. Faith, Hope, Love Father as You tell us with Love being the greatest of these three. Lord perfect Love beings and end in You alone. I Love You Lord in Jesus name Amen

Father, show me the opportunities you have for discipleship and help me follow through with what you desire, all for your glory.

I share my Christ like love by being a live-in caregiver to a 90year old widow. In the book of James it says to take care of the widows and orphans ..

Amen

We should be initiators to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Thank you Pastor Nat . Today I went to be with a dear sister in Christ who today lost a close friend. I decided to go and spend sometime with her. I played hyms while there from my phone. I prayed for her before living. I spent 3 hours with her.

I love your message. Thank you. 🌝

Amen

"And this commandment we have from Him. That he who loveth God love his brother also" 1John 4:21

Great job leaning into the options you do have to connect!

Because of safety precautions, I don't physically interact with many people. That leaves the phone and social media. I'm sacrificially making phone calls to lonely people-- mostly the elderly. It's sacrificial because I really don't like talking on the phone. However, the Holy Spirit quickens me once I make a call.

Father, You have revealed to me what true love is in a relationship. It's agape love, where one submits to the other without pretense or expectations. It's love that is pure, it is Your love overflowing in my heart that is being poured out into that special person and others. Thank you, Father. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Thank You.........from Pastor Joseph Kontur joseph_kontur@yahoo.com

Dear Lord, you sacrifice your son Jesus Christ for our sins. I just wanted Jesus, to know I love him and praise our lord savior. I wanted to live my life righteousness and love others, like Jesus, love us. Heaven Father make me love others give me patients. In Jesus’s name, amen. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

Thanks for the comments. I sometimes pray, "God give me eyes to see your blessings and your love. Help me to slow down and enjoy your goodness."

Amen.

I always think of having to do something “big” or “work hard” to show God’s love but you pointed out the “little things” that show God’s love and are more likely available to us routinely that we even don’t realize. Thank you for enlightening me with God’s word.

Truly wonderful message thank you
