I. THE PLACE WHERE WE FIND CONTENTMENT
A. IN CARING AND CARED FOR
Phil 4:10 “But I rejoice greatly in the Lord that after a time your concern for me has blossomed. Indeed, you’d been concerned, but had no opportunity to demonstrate it.”
(also Matt 6:24-34; II Cor 8:1-5)
B. IN ABUNDANCE OR POVERTY
Phil 4:11-12 “I am not saying this because I am destitute, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to abound. I have learned the secret of being content in every which way – whether well fed or hungry, in abundance or penury.”
(also I Tim 6:6-11; Luke 12:16-21)
C. IN LEARNING OR TEACHING
Phil 4:11-12 “I am not saying this because I am destitute, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to abound. I have learned the secret of being content in every which way – whether well fed or hungry, in abundance or penury.”
(also II Cor 11:23-33; I Cor 10:1-11)
II. THE PLACE WHERE WE FIND STRENGTH
Philippians 4:13 “I have strength for everything through Him Who empowers me.”
