Philippians #34: Joy in Jesus “Contentment in Christ” Phil. 4:10-14

  • Being content in bad circumstances is a learned experience, which stinks because the only way to truly be content in bad circumstances is to experience them multiple times!
  • Let’s be real: Going through one bad experience after another can result in a very cynical life. 
    • You’re not joking anymore. You believe it. You really CAN’T catch a break. What can go wrong WILL go wrong. You’ve changed out the name “Murphy” for your own name. 
  • But Paul says he has “learned” that in whatever situation, he is to be content.
