The Secret of Contentment

Oct 11, 2026  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Joy, peace and contentment do not rise and fall with circumstances, Paul tells the Philippians, but flow from an abiding relationship with Christ who strengthens us. Philippians 4 offers three practices for receiving God's peace: bringing worries to him with prayer and thanksgiving, setting our minds on whatever is good and praiseworthy, and drawing encouragement from fellow believers when hardship cannot be avoided.
