1) Just for fun: What’s the best birthday present you ever received during your childhood? What made that gift so great? Where is that gift today?

4) Read Philippians 1:19-26 and 3:4-11. How did you see Paul’s contentment in Christ affect His life during both times of poverty and times of prosperity? Is there anything that you need in this world more than contentment in Christ? Are there things in this world that you want more than Christ?

The Secret of Satisfaction

4)  People who handle and adapt to change the easiest are the ones who live the most content and happiest lives. Would you say that you handle and adapt to change easily?  Why do you, or do you not,  adapt to change so easily in your opinion.

5) The ultimate way that we learn to be content is to find that place where we truly trust in God to provide and to meet all of our needs.
