Contentment for Today

1. Who is a contented person you know? How did they get to be that way? How does it affect their life? How does it affect your life?

2. Read verses 11-13. What do you think Paul is saying here? Based on verse 13, where do we find our source of contentment?

3. Since contentment is a learned response, how is God teaching you this skill in your current set of circumstances? How is He making Himself known as your source of strength?

4. When you think of generosity, who comes to mind and why?

5. What promises do we have when we give generously, even sacrificially to advance the gospel (verses 17-19)? What would it look like for you to become a more generous person?
