#10 in the Unbreakable Joy series

Key Passage: Philippians 4:10-23

“We must keep in mind that this passage is flanked by a reference to the Philippians anxiety over their needs (4:6-7) and by a promise that God will supply those needs (4:19).” – Moises Silva

• Contentment Is Not Cold Indifference
  
• Contentment Transcends Circumstances
  
• Contentment Is Learned

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. – Philippians 4:11-12

• Discontentment: Always pursuing, never finding
  
• Contentment Flows from Strength Provided by Christ
  
• Contentment Flows from Relationships

Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. – Philippians 4:14,18

Are you in need? Rejoice that God has supplied every need!
