Philippians: The Secret of Contentment

About this episode

This episode explores the secret of contentment as taught by the apostle Paul in Philippians, emphasizing practices like knowing Jesus and expressing gratitude.

The pervasive sense of discontentment with what we have almost fuels the culture around us, but God intends us to live a life characterized by peace and contentment. In this message we unpack what the apostle Paul might mean when he says he has learnt the secret to being content in all circumstances. We discover that the strength to endure anything, both good and bad, comes only through Jesus and by believing and practicing the way of life that Paul has laid out for the church at Philippi throughout his letter. We specifically consider how to cultivate greater contentment through four practices: knowing Jesus, expressing gratitude, living simply and serving others.
