Crossroads (Week 11) - 1 Corinthians 4:1-21 (continued)

If you have children, have you ever noticed your child imitating you; using the same words or expressions, doing the same actions? Knowing that our children can learn to copy us probably makes us aware of our words and actions, right? We may want them to imitate us in some things, and then again, some things maybe not. But, what about our spiritual lives? Do we want our children to imitate our walk with Christ?

This week in our current series, "Crossroads," a study of 1 and 2 Corinthians, we’re going to be finishing up 1 Corinthians chapter 4. Among the things we'll discover is the Apostle Paul inviting his spiritual children to imitate him. The Corinthians were not acting very Christlike. So, Paul challenges them to do better. His words, at times, are going to sound harsh. But, his motivation is his love for the church and his desire to see all of us get it right.
