    Better to be content than wealthy, but better yet to be content and good stewards of what God has given us.

    Contentment and Money (I Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19) 1. Study after study show that the world’s happiest people are not from the richest nations; once basic needs are met, it is more a matter of relationships, family, and thankfulness; the topic most newlywed couples argue over is money. 2.

    There is a time to be still and know He is God and there is a time when we are seeking the prize of contentment that we need to flee, follow and fight.

    Have you ever played the game called "Would You Rather..."? We played it as kids and I played it just the other day with one of the youth. You make up your own questions but it goes something like this. Would you rather be fat and have a nice face or have a nice body and be ugly? Would you rather ...read more

    For many people, Philippians 4:13 is their favourite message, but they never look at the verses preceding that verse of following it. This message looks at what true contentment is.

    It’s a favourite verse for many people. It’s a verse that gets claimed when we are in difficult situations. When we are trying new things. A verse for those times when we are attempting the difficult, the improbable, and the impossible. But for too many people, it is more a motivational statement ...read more

    Paul shows that being content for a believer is different from the worldly definition. Are you Content in Your circumstance?
