Learning to be CONTENT! Philippians 4:11-13

Our prayers are with the Backyard Mission team that is in San Pedro this weekend being the hands and feet of JESUS. Those of us who weren't able to attend, met last night for a challenging yet encouraging night of learning God's Word and fellowship.

Jose S. shared on being content, to be fully satisfied with who you are, what you have and where you are in life because of your relationship and dependence on God. He explained a passage in Philippians 4, written by Paul the Apostle when he was in prison. The message was full of examples of when we are poor, hungry, weak, in need, rich, strong, having plenty and how our attitude should be consistent throughout each situation. We were challenged to assess our own lives and ask ourselves are we content with what GOD has given us? Are we thankful? Can we appreciate being at a place of weakness to draw more on the Lord? [2 Cor 12:7-10] We find that in a place of humility God can teach us and bless us. It was a blessed night!

We'll continue to pray for the Backyard team as they will be at Santa Monica Promenade tonight doing ministry and evangelism!
