You're just not content. You don't 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 5: even know what it is. It's just something that's just 42 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 5: stirring inside. 43 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: Of you, you know. I think we all have been there. 44 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 5: In fact, sometimes we don't even realize it's what it 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 5: is that we're not content. We just think there's something 46 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 5: more and we're looking for it. Maybe you're struggling to 47 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 5: get that promotion. You're working hard at work. Man, you 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 5: got your eye on that promotion. Oh you're just going 49 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 5: for it. You're getting a little out of balance. You 50 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 5: just don't feel satisfied even though you're headed in a 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 5: right direction. Or maybe you're at home and you've got 52 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 5: children and they're in diapers, and you're thinking, I'm exhausted, huh, 53 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 5: I need something else, I need something, and you begin 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 5: looking for it. You know, a lot of times we 55 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 5: can look for things to fill our spaces in all 56 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 5: the wrong places. 57 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: You know. 58 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 5: Sometimes we think we need something, so we go after it, 59 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 5: but it can't fill that space longing to make us content. 60 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: You know. 61 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 5: The only thing that can fill that space is Jesus. 62 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 5: It's God inside of us. 63 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 4: But we're so used to. 64 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 5: Going so fast that we forget what the source of 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 5: our strength is, the source of our meaning and our purpose, 66 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 5: because sometimes we try to be the source of. 67 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 4: Our meaning and our purpose. 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 5: You know, sometimes we can look to food to fill 69 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 5: those spaces. Some people look to alcohol because it numbs them. 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 5: Just let me have a break here. You know, sometimes 71 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 5: we are looking for any distraction to cause us to 72 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 5: forget what's going on on the inside of us. You know, 73 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 5: it's interesting because social media can be a great distraction. 74 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 5: You can forget all your problems and check out someone 75 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 5: else's life. You can almost live vicariously through them as 76 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 5: you're flipping through the pages. 77 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: But you know it's interesting about that. 78 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 5: It's fun unless you're there for the wrong reasons, unless 79 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 5: you're trying to escape your life to find someone else's life, 80 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 5: to find meaning and purpose. Because once that's over, you 81 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 5: usually leave more discontent than you can. You usually leave 82 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 5: more sad than you can. I've experienced it. I've been 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 5: looking at all these other people's great life and I think, man, 84 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 5: I'm missing out. I'm comparing their best life with my 85 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 5: worst life. I'm contemparing a moment in time. 86 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 4: With all my life. 87 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 5: You see, don't run after something else looking for something 88 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 5: to fill this space. 89 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: Only Jesus can fill it. It doesn't matter. 90 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 5: If you're well off, if you're successful, you've got to 91 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 5: find contentment. Because sometimes we think, if this will happen, 92 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 5: I'll be happy when I get that promotion, when I 93 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 5: get that new house, when I get a little more money, 94 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 5: I'll be happy. I'll be successful. But can I tell 95 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 5: you that lie of success is always moving. 96 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 4: It's always moving. 97 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 5: If you're chasing success, you're never gonna catch up with 98 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 5: it because it's always moving. 99 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: You can never have enough. 100 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 5: Don't feel like, well, you know what I'm gonna suffer 101 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: for Jesus. 102 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 4: I'm stripping it all off. 103 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 5: I'm giving it all away, because that's not gonna fulfill 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 5: you either. Because if you're trying to do something for 105 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 5: Jesus out to show it's not gonna work for you. 106 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 5: It's not gonna work for you if you're saying, Jesus, 107 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 5: look what I've done for you today, because see, it's 108 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 5: not what you're doing for Jesus. 109 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 4: It's what Jesus has done for you. That's what Jesus 110 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 4: is done for you. 111 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 5: See, the only thing that will fill these spaces is 112 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 5: Jesus Christ. And when you're feeling anxious, restless, discontent, can 113 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 5: I encourage us all myself as well? With the words 114 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 5: from the apostle Paul found in Philippians four, he said this, 115 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 5: He said, he was writing. This is interesting because he 116 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 5: was writing to the church at Philippi. He wasn't writing 117 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 5: to unbelievers. He wasn't he was writing to the church. 118 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 5: And this is what he was saying. 119 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 4: He says, I know what it is to be in need, 120 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: he said, And I know. 121 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 5: What it is to have plenty. I've been without and 122 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 5: I've had more than enough. And he says, I have 123 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 5: learned the secret of being content in every situation. 124 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 4: I've learned the secret. Don't you know? They were leaning in. 125 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 4: We all want to know the secret. 126 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 5: Secret to weight loss, secret to a happy life, secret 127 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 5: to a better marriage. He said, I've learned the secret 128 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 5: to be content in every situation. Can I tell you 129 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 5: contentment will fix your situation. Contentment is a powerful state 130 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 5: of being. And Paul said, I have learned this and 131 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 5: now I'm going. 132 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 4: To share it with you. This is the secret. 133 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 5: He said, I can do all things through Christ, who 134 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 5: strengthens me. 135 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 4: I can do it all. I can make it my 136 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 4: way through it all. 137 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 5: With Christ's strengthening me. You see his profound secret. And 138 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 5: what he had learned was the fact that it was 139 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 5: Christ in him, the hope of glory. It was I 140 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 5: can through him. I can through him. 141 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 4: I can't. Apart from him. I'm a mess. Apart from him. 142 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 5: I'm in prison apart from him, but with him, the 143 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 5: prison is not. 144 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: Getting in me because I'm full of Christ Jesus. 145 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 5: I may be in a tough spot, I may be 146 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 5: in a place I don't like, but you know what, 147 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 5: I'm useful to the Kingdom of God. I love Paul's 148 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 5: writings because he was always say listen, you know, to 149 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 5: die is to be with Christ. 150 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: You know, if I go, that's great. 151 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 5: But if I'm staying, I'm not letting the circumstances get 152 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 5: in me. If I'm here on earth, I'm gonna be 153 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 5: in Christ Jesus. I'm gonna walk with purpose and destiny, 154 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 5: knowing that he doesn't waste one. 155 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 4: Thing in my life. 156 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 5: I am so grateful that Paul didn't give up in prison. 157 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 5: I'm so grateful he didn't let prison take him captive. 158 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 5: But he said, I'm in prison, but God is here 159 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 5: with me, and as long as he's with me, I 160 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 5: can do all things. I can bear all things, and 161 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 5: I'm useful to the Kingdom of God. So he shared 162 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,119 Speaker 5: with us the secret of contentment, which. 163 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: Is powerful in our life. 164 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 5: Now, I don't know about you, but sometimes it takes 165 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: me a little while to learn a lesson. I don't 166 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 5: know how long it took Paul to learn this lesson, 167 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: because he said he had to learn it. He said, 168 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: I had to learn this, and now that I have 169 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 5: learned it and experienced it. 170 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 4: Guess what, I'm sharing it with you. 171 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 5: He's saying this, though, I can share the secret with you, 172 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 5: but you've got to dig into the mystery of it. 173 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 5: You've got to go after it yourself. You've got to 174 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 5: experience it yourself. It's called maturity, he said. I've actually 175 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 5: come to that place that I've learned something. It's okay 176 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 5: if it takes us a long time to learn. I 177 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 5: can have somebody tell me something. I'm not kidding. They 178 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 5: can tell me. I can hear something over and over again, 179 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 5: and then one day it makes sense. One day I 180 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 5: actually get it. Paul is saying, I'm giving you the secret. 181 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 5: Go get it, Go get it. You see, when you're content, 182 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 5: you're powerful to shed a little more light on this contentment. 183 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 5: Paul tells us this in Philippians. For he says, don't 184 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 5: be anxious for anything. What is the opposite of content? Anxious, discontent, restless. 185 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 5: Don't be those things. Here's the remedy, he says. Don't 186 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 5: be anxious for anything, but by prayer and petition, with 187 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 5: thanksgiving in your heart, let your request be made known 188 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 5: to God, and the peace of God. The promise of 189 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 5: peace will guard your heart. And mind in Christ Jesus. 190 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 5: He said, I'm in this prison, but can I tell 191 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 5: you what's between me and these bars is peace. I'm 192 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 5: gonna embrace the place that I'm in and I'm gonna 193 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 5: move forward. Now he said this, he says, I give 194 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 5: thanks and all things. He didn't say, I give thanks 195 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 5: for all things are real. Don't believe he was happy 196 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 5: he was in prison. Yay, I'm in prison. 197 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: It is great. 198 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 5: Been shipwrecked, be No, these things happened to him. He 199 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 5: was in those circumstances. He didn't give thanks to God 200 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 5: for those circumstances. He gave thanks to God that God 201 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,119 Speaker 5: was with him in those circumstances. But there was an outcome. 202 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 5: There was a promise I can through him. You see, 203 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 5: sometimes we try to rush through those bad parts of life, 204 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 5: those tough parts, those uncomfortable parts. 205 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 4: And you know what, we're only human. 206 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 5: It's not natural to want to be in pain and party. 207 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 5: But you know what Paul was trying to share with us, 208 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 5: Your contentment does not have to come from your circumstance. 209 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 4: How many of you women in here. 210 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 5: You're a mother, and you remember those diaper days and 211 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 5: I'm just about exhausting to change another one of those diapers. 212 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: But then when you got past it, kids got into. 213 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 5: School, maybe they're married, you realize those are precious days. 214 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 4: They weren't as exhausting as they thought they were. 215 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,239 Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind having one more diaper to change. Maybe 216 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 5: your sophomore in college, you can't wait to get to 217 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 5: graduate while I am on my way to graduation. You graduate, 218 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 5: then you realize it was difficult, but it really wasn't 219 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 5: that bad. 220 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 4: Kind of like it better than the real world. You see. 221 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 5: Contentment is not complacency. I just want to say that 222 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 5: contentment's not complacency. You should be ambitious. You should want 223 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 5: to succeed, You should want to have purpose. For Christ Jesus, 224 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 5: you should want to move forward. God put that in us. 225 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 5: He told us have dominion. Some do your situations. It's 226 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 5: not complacency. But the problem is if you can't enjoy 227 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 5: where you are right now and what you have right now, 228 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 5: you're being cheated. 229 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: That's not the best for your life. 230 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 5: Don't be missing the now to get to the later. 231 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 5: Don't miss the now to get to the later. No, 232 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 5: even when it's tough, this is what Paul said, it's 233 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 5: tough in here, but I've developed, I've matured, and I've 234 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 5: learned some things. 235 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 4: No matter what you're going through right now, there's a 236 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 4: lesson in it. There's something to take from it. Listen. 237 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 5: If you go through it and you don't learn through it, 238 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 5: there's a problem. God wants to reveal his mysteries, his grace, 239 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 5: his purpose in us. That is not a great subject. 240 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 5: Is it not fun to go through? But if you 241 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 5: can learn through it, if you can come out the 242 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 5: other side stronger, that old song of it didn't kill me. 243 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 4: It made me stronger at Paul said, it's making me stronger. 244 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 4: Hindsight's twenty twenty. But we don't want to live there, 245 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 4: do we. We want to live in the future. 246 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 5: I want to encourage you that contentment is a state 247 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 5: of mind. 248 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 4: It has nothing to do with where you are. 249 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 5: The Webster's Dictionary says the definition of contentment is a 250 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 5: state of peaceful happiness. 251 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 4: It's an attitude has nothing to. 252 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 5: Do with where you are. It's a state of peaceful happiness. 253 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 5: Proverbs fifteen fifteen says a content mind. 254 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 4: Is a continual feast. It's a continual feast. 255 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 5: Can I encourage you to feast on the fact that 256 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 5: God is for you. 257 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 4: He's not against you. 258 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 5: That whatever you're going through right now doesn't have to 259 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 5: get in you because you're full of Christ Jesus that 260 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 5: he's helping you through. And it's that I can through 261 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 5: Him that's going to give you this trength to do it. 262 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 4: Amen. He's an awesome God.
