The Secret of Contentment

by Alistair Begg

Philippians 4:10–13
 (ID: 2032)

In our highly competitive culture, we can easily become disgruntled if we constantly compare ourselves to others. Paul, by contrast, learned to be content in all circumstances by trusting in the sufficiency of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this message on Christian contentment, Alistair Begg notes that when we bow our hearts and minds to God’s will, irrespective of our circumstances, then we will be neither overwhelmed by poverty nor intoxicated by prosperity.
