Contentment Teachers
1. God’s Provision (4:10)
- The very fact that you are still here is because God kept you.
2. Others’ Generosity (4:10)
- Compassionate concern from the Body of Christ meets legitimate needs.
3. Life’s Experiences (4:11-12)
- Discontentment can challenge those living in either prosperity or poverty.
- Contentment is not about what you own but about what owns you.
4. Current Perspective (4:13)
- The most telling sign of a mature Christian is contentment – not achievement.
- Contentment helps you become adaptable and available.
- Christianity is not following Jesus if “only this” happens, but “no matter what” happens.
If you require something else to make you content, you love that thing more than you love Christ.
