(Retreat Talk 2) Imitation We Are to Follow

1 Thessalonians 1:2-10; Philippians 3:16-17

About the Sermon

Jesus models perfect service, humility, sacrifice, and availability—and we are to follow His example. God graciously places faithful leaders within the local church for us to learn from and to follow, especially as we seek to grow in Christlikeness. In this Women’s Retreat talk, Erin Wheeler teaches from Philippians 3:16–17 and 1 Thessalonians 1:2–10, showing us that imitation is a vital part of discipleship. As women, our primary places of investment are the home and the church. We must be intentional and consistent in this work, praying for willing hearts to seek out those we can disciple or be discipled by.

About the Series

In a world filled with noise and competing demands, women are constantly told who they should be—successful, beautiful, flawless wives and mothers with picture-perfect lives. This vision of perfection can pull us away from the truth found in God’s Word. At this Women’s Retreat, Erin Wheeler set forth a vision for women: to imitate Christ, to follow faithful, godly examples, and to invest in the lives of others through intentional discipleship.
