Contentment, Part 2: God’s Sovereignty

What this episode covers

Text: Ecclesiastes 3:12–13Speaker: Tony de la Riva--Discontentment is a human default and is as natural to fallen humanity as flesh and blood. As Spurgeon observed, "You have no need to teach men to complain." Rockefeller touched on this reality when he said, “If your only goal is to become rich, you'll never achieve it.” One of humanity's biggest problems is that we fail to realize that contentment isn't found in our circumstances, but in our hearts and minds—specifically, in our confidence in the sovereign goodness of God, and in our satisfaction with the Lord Jesus.--Woodland Park Bible Church is located in North County, San Diego.
