Introduction: What would it take for you to be content? Content: Happy enough with what one has or is; not desiring something more or different; satisfied. -Webster’s Dictionary The Problem: The horizon is always moving. Two Historical Solutions: 1. Conquer, achieve, and acquire until satisfied. 2. Desire less and less until it doesn’t matter. The Question: How can we be satisfied…today? • The Answer: Philippians 4:10-13 • The Occasion: A “Thank You” Note -Philippians 4:10-13 • The Conclusion: Contentment is not a thing to be achieved, but a secret to be discovered. • How? Four Principles – Four Practices: Principle #1 - Our contentment is not dependent on our circumstances. • Practice = BE THANKFUL/GRATEFUL -Philippians 4:10 Principle #2 - Contentment is an attitude we learn not a thing we achieve. • Practice = BE TEACHABLE -Philippians 4:11 Principle #3 - Prosperity does not have the power to give us contentment; nor poverty the power to take it away. • Practice = BE FLEXIBLE / CHANGEABLE -Philippians 4:12 Principle #4 - Only Christ has the power to give us a contentment that transcends all life’s variables. • Practice = BE CONTENT / TRUSTING -Philippians 4:13 Conclusion: Contentment is not passive acceptance of the status quo, but the positive assurance that God has supplied one’s needs, and the consequent release from unnecessary desires.
