Philippians 4 - Contentment in Christ

Life Lesson (verse Philippians 4)

We need to learn how to be contented as people and believers. God wants to teach us to be contented.

Life Lesson (verse Philippians 4)

Being selfish does not bring contentment, being selfish brings misery. Focusing on ourselves more, brings more discontentment. Focusing on God and helping others, brings contentment.

Life Lesson (verse Philippians 4)

The natural state of man, (of you), is to be at unrest with God, unrest with the world, and at unrest with the people around you.

Life Lesson (verse Philippians 4)

One message online or on the radio can reach more people than we can count. You can count the seeds in an orange 🍊 but you cannot count the number of oranges one seed will produce.

Life Lesson (verse Philippians 4)

When we are alone and by ourselves, we can be defeated. When we stand together, in the Lord, we are an undefeatable force.
