Paul discovered a secret transferable to every stage of life. In a world that is never satisfied, Paul talks about contentment in every situation. Paul shares a human and divine aspect to contentment.

1.Contentment is learned (Philippians 4:10-12)
a.Paul recognized the gift that he had been given
b.Whatever the circumstances, contentment can be learned
c.Contentment is a secret
d.Being in need, or in plenty, is not the source of contentment (stoicism or indulgence)
e.Life has a rollercoaster of conditions

2.Contentment comes through Christ (Philippians 4:13)
a.If you are content, it is a gift from God
b.Contentment is through God
c.We require the strength of God to be content

Next Steps:
1.Look In: Release what keeps you from true contentment
2.Look Around: Respond to where can you make a difference
3.Look Up: Rejoice in the Lord
