“The Power of a Godly Example”

“Turn to me and have mercy on me;  show Your strength in behalf of Your servant; save me, because I serve You just as my mother did.”

(Ps. 86:16 NIV emphasis added)

“Truly I am Your servant, Lord; I serve You just as my mother did; You have freed me from my chains.”

(Ps. 116:16 NIV emphasis added)

1. Being a Godly example is less about , and more about .

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.” (Jas. 1:22-24 NIV)

1. Consider which you live for… or virtues.

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matt. 5:16 NIV)
