Have you all felt restless, 40 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 6: maybe you felt anxious. You're just not content. You don't 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 6: even know what it is. It's just something that's just 42 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 6: stirring inside. 43 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 4: Of you, you know. I think we all have been there. 44 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 6: In fact, sometimes we don't even realize it's what it 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 6: is that we're not content. We just think there's something 46 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 6: more and we're looking for it. Maybe you're struggling to 47 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 6: get that promotion. You're working hard at work. Man, you've 48 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 6: got your eye on that promotion. Oh, you're just going 49 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 6: for it. You're getting a little out of balance. You 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 6: just don't feel satisfied even though you're headed in a 51 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 6: right direction. Or maybe you're at home and you've got 52 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 6: children and they're in diapers and you're thinking, I'm exhausted. Huh, 53 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 6: I need something else, I need something, and you begin 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 6: looking for it. You know, a lot of times we 55 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 6: can look for things to fill our spaces in all. 56 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: The wrong places. You know. 57 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 6: Sometimes we think we need something, so we go after it, 58 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 6: but it can't fill that space that longing to make 59 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 6: us content. You know. The only thing that can fill 60 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 6: that space is Jesus. It's God inside of us. But 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 6: we're so used to going so fast that we forget 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 6: what the source of our strength is, the source of 63 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 6: our meaning and our purpose. Because sometimes we try to 64 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 6: be the source of our meaning and our purpose. 65 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: You know, sometimes we can look to. 66 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 6: Food to fill those spaces. Some people look to alcohol 67 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 6: because it numbs them. 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 4: Just let me have a break here. 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 6: You know, sometimes we are looking for any distraction to 70 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 6: cause us to forget what's going on on the inside 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 6: of us. You know it's interesting because social media can 72 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 6: be a great distraction. You can forget all your problems 73 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 6: and check out someone else's life. You can almost live 74 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 6: vicariously through them as you're flipping through the pages. 75 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 4: But you know it's interesting about that. 76 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 6: It's fun unless you're there for the wrong reasons, unless 77 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 6: you're trying to escape your life to find someone else's life, 78 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 6: to find meaning and purpose. Because once that's over, you 79 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 6: usually leave more discontent than you can. You usually leave 80 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 6: more sad than you can. I've experienced it. 81 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 4: I've been looking at all these other people's. 82 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 6: Great life and I think, Man, I'm missing out. I'm 83 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 6: comparing their best life. 84 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 4: With my worst life. I'm contemparing a moment in time 85 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 4: with all my life. 86 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 6: You see, don't run after something else looking for something 87 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 6: to fill this space. 88 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 4: Only Jesus can fill it. 89 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 6: It doesn't matter if you're well off, if you're successful. 90 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 6: You've got to find contentment because sometimes we think, if 91 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 6: this will happen, I'll be happy when I get that promotion, 92 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 6: when I get that new house, when I get a 93 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 6: little more money, I'll be happy. 94 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 4: I'll be successful. 95 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 6: But can I tell you that line of success is 96 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 6: always moving, It's always moving. If you're chasing success, you're 97 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 6: never gonna catch up with it because it's always moving. 98 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: You can never have enough. 99 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 6: Don't feel like, well, you know what I'm gonna suffer 100 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 6: for Jesus. 101 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 4: I'm stripping it all off. I'm giving it. 102 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 6: All away, because that's not going to fulfill you either. 103 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 6: Because if you're trying to do something for Jesus out 104 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 6: to show, it's not gonna work for you. It's not 105 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 6: gonna work for you if you're saying, Jesus, look what 106 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 6: I've done for you today, Because see, it's not what 107 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 6: you're doing for Jesus. 108 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 4: It's what Jesus has done for you. It's what Jesus 109 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 4: is done for you. 110 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 6: See, the only thing that will feel these faces is 111 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 6: Jesus Christ. And when you're feeling anxious, restless, discontent, can 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 6: I encourage us all myself as well? With the words 113 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 6: from the apostle Paul found in Philippians four. 114 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 4: He said this, He said he. 115 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 6: Was writing this is interesting because he was writing to 116 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 6: the church at Philippi. He wasn't writing to unbelievers. He 117 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 6: wasn't He was writing to the church, and this is 118 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 6: what he was saying. He says, I know what it 119 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 6: is to be in need, he said, and I know 120 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 6: what it is to have plenty. 121 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 4: I've been without and I've had more than enough. 122 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 6: And he says, I have learned the secret of being 123 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 6: content in every situation. 124 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: I've learned the secret. Don't you know? They were leaning in. 125 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: We all want to know the secret. 126 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 6: Secret to weight loss, secret to a happy life, secret 127 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 6: to a better marriage. He said, I've learn the secret 128 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 6: to be content in every situation. Can I tell you 129 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 6: contentment will fix your situation. Contentment is a powerful state 130 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 6: of being. And Paul said, I have learned this and 131 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 6: now I'm going to. 132 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: Share it with you. He says, this is the secret. 133 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 6: He said, I can do all things through Christ, who 134 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 6: strengthens me. 135 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 4: I can do it all. I can make it my 136 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: way through it all. 137 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 6: With Christ's strengthening me. You see his profound secret. And 138 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 6: what he had learned was the fact that it was 139 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 6: Christ in him, the hope of glory. It was I 140 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 6: can through him. I can through him. I can't apart 141 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 6: from him. I'm a mess. Apart from him, in prison, 142 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 6: apart from him. But with him, the prison is not 143 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 6: getting in me because I'm full of Christ Jesus. 144 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 4: I may be in a tough spot. 145 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 6: I may be in a place I don't like, but 146 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 6: you know what, I'm useful to the Kingdom of God. 147 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 6: I love Paul's writings because he was always say listen, 148 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 6: you know, today is to be with Christ. 149 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: You know, if I go, that's great. But if I'm. 150 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 6: Staying, I'm not letting the circumstances get in me. If 151 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 6: I'm here on earth, I'm gonna be in Christ Jesus. 152 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 6: I'm gonna walk with purpose and destiny, knowing that He 153 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 6: doesn't waste one thing in my life. I am so 154 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 6: grateful that Paul didn't give up in prison. I'm so 155 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 6: grateful he didn't let prison take him captive. But he said, 156 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 6: I'm in prison, but God is here with me, and 157 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 6: as long as He's with me, I can do all things. 158 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 6: I can bear all things, and I'm useful to the 159 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 6: Kingdom of God. 160 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 4: So he shared with us the sek. 161 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 6: Of contentment, which is powerful in our life. 162 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 4: Now. 163 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 6: I don't know about you, but sometimes it takes me 164 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 6: a little while to learn a lesson. I don't know 165 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 6: how long it took Paul to learn this lesson because 166 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 6: he said he had to learn it. He said, I 167 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 6: had to learn this, and now that I have learned 168 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 6: it and experienced it, guess what, I'm sharing it with you. 169 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 6: He's saying this, though, I can share the secret with you, 170 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 6: but you've got to dig into the mystery of it. 171 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 6: You've got to go after it yourself. You've got to 172 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 6: experience it yourself. It's called maturity. He said, I've actually 173 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 6: come to that place that I've learned something. It's okay 174 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 6: if it takes us a long time to learn. I 175 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 6: can have somebody tell me something. I'm not kidding. 176 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 4: They can tell me. 177 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 6: I can hear something over and over again, and then 178 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 6: one day it makes sense. One day I actually get it. 179 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 6: Paul is saying, I'm giving you the secret. 180 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 4: Go get it, Go get it. 181 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 6: You see, when you're you're powerful to shed a little 182 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 6: more light on this contentment. Paul tells us this in Philippians. 183 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 6: For he says, don't be anxious for anything. What is 184 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 6: the opposite of content Anxious, discontent, restless. 185 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 4: Don't be those things. Here's the remedy. 186 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 6: He says, don't be anxious for anything, but by prayer 187 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 6: and petition, with thanksgiving in your heart. Let your request 188 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 6: be made known to God, and the peace of God. 189 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 6: The promise of peace will guard your heart and mind. 190 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 6: In Christ Jesus, he said, I'm in this prison, but 191 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 6: can I tell you what's between. 192 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 4: Me and these bars is peace. 193 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 6: I'm gonna embrace the place that I'm in and I'm 194 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 6: gonna move forward. Now he said this, He says, I 195 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 6: give thanks and all things. He didn't say I give 196 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 6: thanks for all things. I really don't believe he was 197 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 6: happy he was in prison. Yay, I'm in prison. It 198 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 6: is great. Been shipwrecked, be No, these things happened to him. 199 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 6: He was in those circumstances. He didn't give thanks to 200 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 6: God for those circumstances. He gave thanks to God that 201 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 6: God was with him in those circumstances. But there was 202 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 6: an outcome. There was a promise I can through him. 203 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 6: You see, sometimes we try to rush through those bad 204 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 6: parts of life, those tough parts, those uncomfortable parts, and 205 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 6: you know what, We're only human. It's not natural to 206 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 6: want to be in pain and party. But you know 207 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 6: what Paul was trying to share with us, Your contentment 208 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 6: does not have to come from your circumstance. 209 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 4: How many of you women in here. 210 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 6: You're a mother, and you remember those dieper days, and 211 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 6: I'm just about exhausting to change another. 212 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: One of those dyed first. 213 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 6: But then when you got past it, kids got into school, 214 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 6: maybe they're married, you realize those are precious days. They 215 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 6: weren't as exhausting as they thought they were. I wouldn't 216 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 6: mind having one more diaper to change. Maybe your sophomore 217 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 6: in college, you can't wait to get to graduate, while 218 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 6: I am on my way to graduation. You graduate, then 219 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 6: you realize it was difficult, but it really wasn't that bad. 220 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 4: Kind of like it better than the real world. You see. 221 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 6: Contentment is not complacency. I just want to say that 222 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 6: contentment's not complacency. You should be ambitious. You should want 223 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 6: to succeed. You should want to have purpose for Christ Jesus, 224 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 6: you should want to move forward. God put that in us. 225 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 6: He told us have dominion. Some do your situations. It's 226 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 6: not complac since. But the problem is if you can't 227 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 6: enjoy where you are right now and what you have 228 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 6: right now, you're being cheated. 229 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 4: That's not the best for your life. 230 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 6: Don't be missing the now to get to the later. 231 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 6: Don't miss the now to get to the later. 232 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 4: You know, even when it's tough. This is what Paul said. 233 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 6: It's tough in here, but I've developed, I've matured, and 234 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 6: I've learned some things. No matter what you're going through 235 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 6: right now, there's a lesson in it. 236 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 4: There's something to take from it. Listen. 237 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 6: If you go through it and you don't learn through it, 238 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 6: there's a problem. God wants to reveal his mysteries, his grace, 239 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 6: his purpose in us. 240 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 4: That is not a great subject. Is it not fun 241 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: to go through? 242 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 6: But if you can learn through it, if you can 243 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 6: come out the other side stronger, that old song of 244 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 6: it didn't kill me. 245 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: It made me stronger. 246 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 6: Athough, Paul said, it's making me stronger. Hindsight's twenty twenty. 247 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 4: But we don't want to live there, do we. We 248 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 4: want to live in the future. 249 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 6: I want to encourage you that contentment is a state 250 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 6: of mind. 251 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 4: It has nothing to do with where you are. 252 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 6: The Webster's Dictionary says the definition of contentment. 253 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: Is a state of peaceful happiness. It's an attitude has 254 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: nothing to do with where you are. It's a state 255 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 4: of peaceful happiness. 256 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 6: Proverbs fifteen fifteen says a content mind is. 257 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 4: A continual feast. It's a continual feast. 258 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 6: Can I encourage you to feast on the fact that 259 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 6: God is for you, He's not against you. That whatever 260 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 6: you're going through right now doesn't have to get in 261 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 6: you because you're full of Christ Jesus, that he's helping 262 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 6: you through. And it's that I can through Him that's 263 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 6: going to to give you the strength to do it. 264 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: Amen.
