Sermon March 9 2025 - "Lent 1 - Imitating Jesus"

What habits have you developed over the years that have helped get you through life? Maybe your work habits? Maybe the way you drive your car? Maybe the way you talk or listen to other people? And speaking of other people - is it true that the people you hang around with are the ones you imitate the most? And if that’s true, how have they influenced your behaviors, your habits, and your life over the years? 

During this first week of the season of Lent in 2025 we’ll focus on the habits that Jesus Himself used in His life and ministry, and think about why they might be good habits for us to imitate, too.
