About this sermon

Finding contentment is a goal we should strive for every day. A lot of people get confused about the concept of contentment because they think it means they have to settle for where they are. However, there's a huge difference between being content and being complacent. When you are content, you are satisfied; you're full. It's not that you aren't pursuing your goals or striving to reach new levels, you are just able to enjoy where you are on the way to where you are going.

You don't even know what it is. 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.360 It's just something that's just stirring inside of you. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:37.520 You know. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:38.800 I think we all have been there. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.720 In fact, sometimes we don't even realize it's what it 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.399 is that we're not content. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.720 We just think there's something more and we're looking for it. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:54.680 Maybe you're struggling to get that promotion. You're working hard 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.560 at work. Man, you've got your eye on that promotion. Oh, 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.000 you're just going for it. You're getting a little out 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.280 of balance. You just don't feel satisfied even though you're 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.280 headed in a right direction. Or maybe you're you're at 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.760 home and you've got children and they're in diapers and 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:17.680 you're thinking, I'm exhausted, huh, I need something else, I 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.720 need something, and you begin looking for it. You know, 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.480 a lot of times we can look for things to 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.840 fill our spaces in all the wrong places. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:30.200 You know. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.200 Sometimes we think we need something, so we go after it, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.880 but it can't fill that space that longing to make 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:39.520 us content. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:40.560 You know. 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:45.280 The only thing that can fill that space is Jesus. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:51.440 It's God inside of us. But we're so used to 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:57.600 going so fast that we forget what The source of 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.920 our strength is, the source of our men in our purpose, 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.680 because sometimes we try to be the source of our 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.080 meaning and our purpose. You know, sometimes we can look 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.400 to food to fill those spaces. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.360 Some people look to alcohol because it numbs them. Just 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.079 let me have a break here. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.920 You know, sometimes we are looking for any distraction to 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.320 cause us to forget what's going on on the inside 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.400 of us. You know, it's interesting because social media can 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.880 be a great distraction. You can forget all your problems 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.440 and check out someone else's life. You can almost live 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.760 vicariously through them as you're flipping through the pages. 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.680 But you know, it's interesting about that. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.880 It's fun unless you're there for the wrong reasons, unless 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:54.360 you're trying to escape your life to find someone else's life, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:04:00.080 to find meaning and purpose. Because once that's over. You 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:05.800 usually leave more discontent than you can. You usually leave 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.160 more sad than you can. I've experienced it. I've been 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.520 looking at all these other people's great life, and I think, man, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:18.039 I'm missing out. I'm comparing their best life with my 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:23.599 worst life. I'm contentparing a moment in time with all 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:29.000 my life. You see, don't run after something else looking 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.880 for something to fill this space. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.280 Only Jesus can fill it. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:38.120 It doesn't matter if you're well off, if you're successful, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.520 You've got to find contentment. Because sometimes we think, if 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.120 this will happen, I'll be happy when I get that promotion, 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:46.840 when I get that new house, when I get a 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.359 little more money, I'll be happy. I'll be successful. But 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.080 can I tell you that line of success is always moving. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:54.920 It's always moving. 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.560 If you're chasing success, you're never going to catch up 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.920 with it. Beca because it's always movie. You can never 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.520 have enough. Don't feel like, well, you know what I'm 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:06.640 gonna suffer for Jesus. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.640 I'm stripping it all off. I'm giving it. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:13.239 All away because that's not going to fulfill you either. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.400 Because if you're trying to do something for Jesus out 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:17.760 to show it's not. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.200 Gonna work for you. It's not gonna work for you 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:21.240 if you're. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:27.120 Saying, Jesus, look what I've done for you today, Because 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.839 see it's not what you're doing for Jesus. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:30.200 It's what Jesus has done for you. 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.640 That's what Jesus is done for you. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:35.880 See. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.840 The only thing that will fill these faces is Jesus Christ. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.720 And when you're feeling anxious, restless, discontent, can I encourage 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.680 us all myself as well? With the words from the 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:53.000 apostle Paul found in Philippians four. He said this, He said, 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.640 he was writing. This is interesting because he was writing 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.240 to the church at Philippi. He wasn't writing to unbelievers. 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.360 He was writing to the church. And this is what 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.040 he was saying. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.440 He says, I know what it is to be in need, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.160 he said, and I know what. 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:15.440 It is to have plenty. I've been without and I've 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.680 had more than enough. And he says, I have learned 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:24.520 the secret of being content in every situation. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.280 I've learned the secret. Don't you know? They were leaning in. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:29.320 We all want to know. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:33.839 The secret, secret to weight loss, secret to a happy life, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.240 secret to a better marriage. He said, I've learned the 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.440 secret to be content in every situation. Can I tell 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.880 you contentment will fix your situation. Contentment is a powerful 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.400 state of being. And Paul says, I have learned this 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.840 and now I'm going. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.320 To share it with you. He says, this is the secret. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.640 He said, I can do all things through through Christ, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.400 who strengthens me. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.680 I can do it all. I can make it my 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.240 way through it. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:16.160 All with Christ strengthening me. You see his profound secret. 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.960 And what he had learned was the fact that it 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.600 was Christ in him. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:26.680 The hope of glory. It was I can through him. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.960 I can through him. I can't. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.640 Apart from him, I'm a mess. Apart from him, I'm 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:43.640 in prison. Apart from him, But with him, the prison 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.920 is not getting in me because I'm full of Christ Jesus. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.960 I may be in a tough spot. I may be 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.160 in a place I don't like, but. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.160 You know what, I'm useful to the Kingdom of God. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.560 I love Paul's writings because he was always saying, listen, 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:58.680 you know todayes to. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.400 Be with Christ. You know, if I go, that's great. 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.080 But if I'm staying, I'm not letting the circumstances get 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.480 in me. If I'm here on earth. I'm gonna be 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.040 in Christ Jesus. I'm gonna walk with purpose and destiny, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.360 knowing that he doesn't waste one thing in my life. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.160 I am so grateful that Paul didn't give up in prison. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.720 I'm so grateful he didn't let prison take him captive. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.720 But he said, I'm in prison, but God is here 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.280 with me, and as long as he's with me, I 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.280 can do all things. I can bear all things, and 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.920 I'm useful to the Kingdom of God. So he shared 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:41.000 with us the secret of contentment, which is powerful in 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.040 our life. Now, I don't know about you, but sometimes 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.840 it takes me a little while to learn a lesson. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.320 I don't know how long it took Paul to learn 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.360 this lesson, because he said he had to learn it. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.200 He said, I had to learn this, And now that 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.240 I have learned it and experienced it, guess what, I'm 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:02.120 sharing it with you. He's saying this, though, I can 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.800 share the secret with you, but you've got to dig 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.480 into the mystery of it. You've got to go after 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:12.719 it yourself. You've got to experience it yourself. It's called maturity. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.000 He said, I've actually come to that place that I've 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.960 learned something. It's okay if it takes us a long 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.760 time to learn. I can have somebody tell me something. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.839 I'm not kidding. They can tell me. I can hear 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.240 something over and over again, and then one day it 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:31.679 makes sense. One day I actually get it. Paul is saying, 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.080 I'm giving you the secret. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.360 Go get it, Go get it. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.520 You see, when you're content, you're powerful to shed a 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.840 little more light on this contentment. Paul tells us this 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:49.160 in Philippians four. He says, don't be anxious for anything. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:57.000 What is the opposite of content? Anxious, discontent, restless. Don't 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:58.439 be those things. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.760 Here's the remedy. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.439 He says, don't be anxious for anything, but by prayer 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:09.040 and petition, with thanksgiving in your heart, let your request 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.480 be made known to God. And the peace of God, 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.240 the promise of peace will guard your heart and mind. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.400 In Christ Jesus, he said, I'm in this prison, but 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.280 can I tell you what's between me and these. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.360 Bars is peace. 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.199 I'm gonna embrace the place that I'm in, and I'm 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.160 gonna move forward. Now he said this, he says, I 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.800 give thanks in all things. He didn't say I give 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.640 thanks for all things. I really don't believe he was happy. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.959 He was in prison. Yay, I'm in prison. It is great, 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:50.800 been shipwrecked, be No, these things happened to him. He 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.320 was in those circumstances. He didn't give thanks to God 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.640 for those circumstances. He gave thanks to God that God 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.480 was with him in those circumstances. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:06.160 But there was an outcome, There was a promise I 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.520 can through him. You see. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.360 Sometimes we try to rush through those bad parts of life, 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.120 those tough parts, those uncomfortable parts, and you know what, 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.600 We're only human. It's not natural to want to be 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.200 in pain and party. But you know what Paul was 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.160 trying to share with us, Your contentment does not have 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.240 to come from your circumstance. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.520 How many of you women in here. 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:34.120 You're a mother, and you remember those diaper days and 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:35.640 it was just about exhausting to. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.120 Change another one of those diapers. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.960 But then when you got past it, kids got into school, 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:47.760 maybe they're married, you realize those are precious days. They 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.920 weren't as exhausting as they thought they were. I wouldn't 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:56.400 mind having one more diaper to change. Maybe your sophomore 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.000 in college, you can't wait to get to graduate while 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.600 I am on my way to graduation. 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.800 You graduate, then you realize it was difficult. It really 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.480 wasn't that bad. Kind of like it better than the 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.400 real world. You see. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.480 Contentment is not complacency. I just want to say that 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.400 contentment's not complacency. You should be ambitious. You should want 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.640 to succeed, you should want to have purpose for Christ Jesus, 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.600 you should want to move forward. God put that in us. 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:35.960 He shold us have dominion. Some do your situations. It's 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:40.959 not complacency. But the problem is if you can't enjoy 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.680 where you are right now and what you have right now, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.200 you're being cheated. 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.439 That's not the best for your life. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.560 Don't be missing the now to get to the later. 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.839 Don't miss the now to get to the later. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.640 You know, even when it's tough, This is what Paul said. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.720 It's tough in here, but I've developed, I've matured, and 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.480 I've learned some things. No matter what you're going through 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.920 right now, there's a lesson in it. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.280 There's something to take from it. Listen. If you go 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:20.000 through it and you don't learn through it, there's a problem. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.559 God wants to reveal his mysteries, his grace, his purpose 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:26.040 in us. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.160 That is not a great subject. Is it not fun 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:29.840 to go through? 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.960 But if you can learn through it, if you can 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.360 come out the other side stronger, that old song of 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:35.040 it didn't kill me. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.480 It made me stronger. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:43.360 A little, Paul said, it's making me stronger. Hindsight's twenty twenty. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.600 But we don't want to live there, do we. We 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:46.840 want to live in the future. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:52.000 I want to encourage you that contentment is a state 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:52.520 of mind. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.920 It has nothing to do with where you are. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.880 The Webster's Dictionary says the definition of content is a 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:06.640 state of peaceful happiness. It's an attitude has nothing to 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.480 do with where you are. It's a state of peaceful happiness. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.040 Proverbs fifteen fifteen says a content mind is. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:20.400 A continual feast. It's a continual feast. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.360 Can I encourage you to feast on the fact that 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.160 God is for you, He's not against you, That whatever 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.280 you're going through right now doesn't have to get in 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.720 you because you're full of Christ Jesus that he's helping 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.640 you through. And it's that I can through Him that's 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.640 going to give you the strength to do it. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:43.000 Amen. He's an awesome God.
