Western Hills Church Of Christ, Temple

Scripture:  Luke 4:14-21, Mark1:14-15, Mark 10:41-45, John 13:14, Colossians 2:15, Acts 16:2526 Speaker:  Scott Meyer Summary: This sermon concludes a four-part series on following Jesus as our rabbi, emphasizing that true discipleship means spending time with Him (habitation), becoming like Him (formation), and ultimately doing what He did (imitation). Centering Luke 4, the message highlights that Jesus carried out His mission—proclaiming freedom, healing, and hope—by the power of the Spirit, the same Spirit now given to believers. Scott identifies three key aspects of Jesus’ life that disciples are called to imitate: speaking truth boldly, serving humbly, and bringing light into darkness. Drawing from passages in Mark, John, Acts of the Apostles, and Colossians, the sermon shows that Jesus redefined greatness through service, confronted false cultural narratives with truth, and defeated the powers of sin and evil through the cross. The church is challenged not merely to admire Jesus but to imitate Him daily
