Recap of Philippians 4:10,11, January 6, 2008:
1. When it comes to contentment; having things is not the issue, loving things is.
2. Contentment is not natural but learned. Paul learned that:
-God would give him what He thinks is necessary for him to have
-The Lord would strengthen him to face every situation
- he must not depend upon circumstances, which can change, for contentment
3. Six wrong assumptions about possessions from Luke 12:13-34:
-thinking that the priority of life was gathering more and more for ourselves
-thinking that possessions can provide satisfaction
-thinking that possessions would last for many years
-thinking that we will live to enjoy possessions
-not recognizing that our provision is from God
-forgetting the importance of spiritual riches
