Choosing Models to Follow in Sanctification

This is the forth message from Philippians 3:12-21 that deals with progressive sanctification in the Christian life.

The admonition that Paul gives us in these verses is this: Carefully observe those who walk after the apostolic pattern of the Christian life, because there are many fake models of the Christian life.

There are three persons/groups that Paul says are the right kind of models (3:17), but there are "many" that are not. He warns us about these false models and then identifies them for us in these terms:
-Their non-allegience
-Their destination
-Their god
-Their glory
-Their mind-set

The message closes with advise on avoiding wrong models and identifying the right ones in the Christian life.
