The Problem Some people have brought their lack of contentment into the church

Philippians 4: I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have renewed your care for me. You were, in fact, concerned about me, but lacked the opportunity to show it. 11 I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know both how to have little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content – whether well-fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. 13 I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.

I Tim. 6:6-8 “But Godliness with contentment is a great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

What does the Bible say? Proverbs 30:7-9 “Two things I ask of You; don’t deny them to me before I die: Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor wealth; feed me with the food I need. Otherwise, I might have to much and deny You, saying “Who is the LORD?” or I might have nothing and steal, profaning the name of my God. Ecclesiastes: 2; 4:4; 6:10; 12:12-ff

Discontentment can lead to… Jealousy Covetousness Unhappy marriage, job, relationships, life Complaining, negativity Selfishness Anger

Solutions for discontentment We must learn to be content Recognize the importance between temporal and eternal Learn to be grateful for what you have Learn to gain strength from Christ

Are you content with your life?
