Week 2
Text: Philippians 4:10–14
Topic(s): Paul, Contentment, Mission, Provision
Big Idea of the Message: Contentment is not contingent on our circumstances but on God’s faithfulness and provision.
Application Point: List the things you think might bring you contentment (making a sports team, having friends, hanging out with a boyfriend or girlfriend, increasing social media influence) and practice giving them to God. Ask him to show you how to be content in his love.
Big Idea of the Series: Sometimes our spiritual lives feel like a series of peaks and valleys. One moment, we feel like we are soaring high; the next, we experience a crushing low. This is a series about when we do and don’t feel God’s presence. We examine the journey of faith through the stories of biblical characters: Elijah, Paul, Moses, Daniel, Joseph, and Peter. Along the way, students will learn about contentment, doubt and trust, gratitude, God’s sovereignty, and the mission of Jesus.
