Be Content (Paul In Prison) --- Philippians 4:11b-13
In our first week, we start in Philippians 4:11b-13. In this letter, Paul is writing to the church at Philippi to help them understand more about what it means to follow Jesus.
Paul shares how they can be content and even have joy regardless of their situation in life. This is something that Paul has had to learn from experience. His example of contentment in the face of difficulty is a great lesson for all of us.
Our Bottom Line This Week Is: “God Can Help You Be Content.”
We can’t promise kids that when they follow Jesus, everything in their life will work out just the way they want it to. However, we CAN promise them that even if life isn’t okay, God can help them be okay with their circumstances.
We pray that no matter what kids are facing, they’ll learn to trust that God can give them what they need to get through it.
Our Memory Verse This Month Is: ... "Then He Said To Them, ‘Watch Out! Be On Your Guard Against Wanting To Have More Things. Life Is Not Made up Of How Much A Person Has’" Luke 12:15 , NIRV
Remember that Contentment is: Learning To Be OK With What You Have.
