Series: Partnership in the Gospel: Sermons from Philippians
Passage: Philippians 4:10-23
Speaker: Marty Crain
Pastor Marty concluded our sermon series from the book of Philippians. We can see God meet our needs through three sequential truths from this passage: contentment in Christ, partnership in God's generosity in Christ, and partnership with the Church in God's glory and grace. God gives us the greatest of gifts - peace and contentment. These gifts are not rooted in circumstance, but in the love of Christ. May we understand how our generosity brings God great pleasure. It is a reflection of our trust in him and his ability to meet our needs - we do not need to fear. When we make a purposeful decision to be content, a believer can trust God to provide our true needs, and not be consumed with materialism or anxiety.
