How to Be Content in a Discontent World

About this episode

Pastor Gary discusses how to find contentment in a world filled with discontent.

Human nature is generally discontent. We crave things that are newer and better, the latest and greatest. Companies launch major ad campaigns to convince customers and clients that their products or services are “new and improved.” After all, who wants “old and familiar”? But the Bible cautions against always desiring something better and instead encourages us to be content no matter the circumstances. Find out in today’s study how to be content in a discontent world as Pastor Gary walks us through the closing verses of the book of Philippians.
