Our purpose: “To be a community of believers where, no matter who you are, you can experience life change through Jesus Christ.”

Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. —1 Timothy 6:6-8 (ESV)

Contentment Doesn’t Come from

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for 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 and hunger, abundance and need. —Philippians 4:10-12 (ESV)

I can do all things through him who strengthens me. —Philippians 4:13 (ESV)

Contentment isn’t found in

but in

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” —John 6:35 (ESV)

For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. —Psalm 107:9 (ESV)
