Why is discontentment such an issue?People measure satisfaction in the wrong thingsPeople misunderstand the truth about satisfactionPeople mistake material success for satisfactionPeople misinterpret the Biblical teaching on satisfactionWhat is contentment?Contentment is confidence in God’s supplyContentment is satisfaction in God’s provisionContentment is focus on God’s sufficiencyI rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, 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 have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.Philippians Contentment flows from a show of concernPaul rejoices in the concernThe Philippians renewed their supportConcern requires actionPaul understood the secret of contentmentContentment is not based in circumstancesContentment is centered in the heartContentment is a product of characterChrist is the source of capabilityOur capability is not self-centeredOur capability starts in ChristOur capability strengthens our serviceConclusionWe need to remember to show concernWe need to renew our contentmentWe need to raise our capability through Christ
