Key Scripture:

Philippians 4:9 — “What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things...”

James 1:22 — “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only...”

Part 1 — The Model

• You cannot pass on what you do not practice.
• Jesus modeled servant leadership by washing His disciples’ feet.
• Before leadership is a position, it is a pattern.
• Does my practice make my teaching believable?

Part 2 — The Mirror

• Our public teaching must be supported by private obedience.
• Jesus warned against preaching without practicing.
• Hypocrisy is not struggling; it is pretending.
•  “Search me, O God, and know my heart.”

Part 3 — The Practice

• Faith becomes transferable when it becomes visible in ordinary life.
• Deuteronomy 6 shows faith woven into daily rhythms.
• Small moments form lasting patterns.
• Where does my faith become visible during the week?

Part 4 — The Invitation

• Biblical modeling is not self-display; it is an invitation to follow Christ.
• Paul said, “Follow me as I follow Christ.”
• A faithful example is a window that helps others see Jesus.
• Am I making the path to Jesus clearer or more confusing?

Part 5 — The Multiplication

• The goal is not admiration; the goal is multiplication.
• 2 Timothy 2:2 shows faith entrusted from one generation to another.
• One flame lighting another increases the light in the room.
• Who am I intentionally investing in?

Response

• One area: Where does my life need to better match my message?
• One person: Who can I encourage, disciple, or serve this week?
• Prayer: Lord, make my life a faithful example that points others to Jesus.
