Followership to Leadership

May 4, 2025  •  Rev. Isaac Smith

In our spiritual journey, we're called to be both followers and leaders. This message explores the transition from imitation to inspiration, drawing parallels with a horse learning to navigate mountain trails. Just as the horse gains confidence by following an experienced leader, we too can grow in our faith by imitating those who walk closely with Christ. The key scripture, 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7, reminds us that we 'became imitators of us and of the Lord' and then 'became a model to all the believers.' This progression challenges us to consider who we're following and whether we're setting a worthy example for others. Are our words and actions aligned with Christ's teachings? As we commune with God through His Word and surround ourselves with positive influences, we're better equipped to lead others towards a life of faith and purpose. Let's reflect on our role as both imitators and models, striving to embody Christ's love in all we do.
