About this sermon

Pastor Colin Smith preached this sermon on the apostle Paul learning to be content from Philippians 4:11–13 at The Orchard EFC in suburban Chicago in 2016. "I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty or hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:11-13) Sermon Series Description: Contentment does not mean that you are indifferent to your circumstances. It means that you are not controlled by your circumstances. Contentment is about moving from anger to peace, from frustration to satisfaction, and from anxiety to trust. The apostle Paul says that he “learned” the secret of contentment, and so can you! ▶️ SUBSCRIBE to our channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcvklWZjMN1Gvn3P7Eh6IOA/?sub_confirmation=1 Series: The Art of Contentment April 16, 2016 Scripture: Philippians 4 Topic: Joy, Sufficiency Open the Bible is the teaching ministry of Pastor Colin Smith.
