Modeling Faith

In our exploration of Philippians 3, we're challenged to consider what it means to have 'no confidence in the flesh.' This powerful message uses the analogy of model building to illustrate how we, as Christians, are called to be models of Christ. Just as a model car points to something greater than itself, we too must point towards the real thing - Jesus Christ. We're reminded that the details matter; we can't simply 'close the hood' on our imperfections, but must strive to reflect Christ in every aspect of our lives. This journey isn't just about personal growth, but about being on display for others, especially for the younger generation who are watching and learning from us. As we work on becoming better models of Christ, we're not alone. We're part of a community of believers, each with strengths that can complement others' weaknesses. This collective effort can create a powerful witness to the world, potentially drawing others to Christ through our actions even before words are spoken.
