Scripture
Philippians 4:10-13

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.
