Practical Theology: Contentment

Princeton Christian Fellowship's Podcast

Bill Boyce teaches on Contentment in our series on Practical Theology. His text is Philippians 4:10-13
"I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
Some say Philippians 4:13 is now the most well-known verse in the Bible, but Bill explains that this is "not a promise that whatever I set out to accomplish God will help me to achieve." Rather in this verse Paul is saying that "...knowing Christ gives me the strength to face anything." Throughout the rest of the message Bill unpacks this as the true secret to Christian contentment.
