The Secret of Contentment: Finding Peace When Life is Distracting | Snow Day Special
About This Message
Speaker: David Reneau
Summary:
It’s a snow day here in Toccoa! While snow days usually remind us of cozy traditions and holidays, they also give us a chance to pause and drown out the "megaphone" of our consumeristic culture.
In this special message, Pastor David Reneau explores the "Secret of Contentment" that the Apostle Paul wrote about in his letter to the Philippians. By looking at the dramatic events of Acts 16, from the comfort of a wealthy home to the chains of an inner prison cell, we see that true contentment isn't about our circumstances. It’s about our dependence on a Sovereign God.
Before we begin our Kingdom Builders series next week, we need to learn how to stop building our own tiny kingdoms and start wanting what God wants. Whether you’re facing a season of plenty or a season of want, discover how to find the peace that transcends all understanding.
In this message, we discuss:
Why Black Friday is a megaphone for the message that "you don't have enough."
How to handle the distractions that try to pull us away from God's main goal for our lives.
The difference between a "vending machine" God and a Sovereign King. • How to pivot yourself from building your own kingdom to becoming a Kingdom Builder.
A practical mental filter for winning the battle for your heart and mind.
