Joyful Giving = Joyful Living | Joyful | Pastor Devin Gough

Do you know the recipe for joy? This weekend Pastor Devin Gough continued our JOYFUL series with a message about being content in every circumstance. 1) Learn to be content.Philippians 4:11I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself.To be content we need to: stop comparing ourselves to others, stop being obsessed with having more, and accept change.2) Lean on God's power.Philippians 4:13I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me.The Greek word that is translated "strengthens" is the word related to the English "dynamic". 3) Live generously.Philippians 4:17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that is increasing to your account.If you want to go through the rest of your life all stressed out, be selfish and stingy. When you need refreshment, what you should do is refresh others. 4) Let God meet your needs.Philippians 4:19And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.When we live generously, God will not forget our needs. He will give to us with the measure that we have given to others, plus interest!
