Contentment in Christ (VIDEO)

How important would you say contentment is?

I'd say biblical contentment is more necessary than we realize. The reality is we live in a fallen body, in a fallen world, around fallen people, with all of us experiencing & reacting to the effects of fallenness. Therefore, without contentment, the effects of fallenness in our life and around us will carry us wherever it wants, whether we want it to or not. But with contentment, our mind, our emotions, and our decisions are internally stable & guarded.

(Sermon from Phil. 4:10-14, guest preached at Freedom Church Baltimore)
