The Secret of Being Content: A Journey Through Philippians
Contentment is a mystery. Seriously. When Paul says in his letter to the Philippians that he has “learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,” the Greek word for “learning the secret” is “memuēmai,” which is commonly used to describe mystery. Learning the secret is being initiated into a divine mystery that is revealed through experience. Does that make you feel like you are in the pages of an epic adventure? You are.
Join us on an eight-week journey where we will:
- dive deeper into Paul's letter to the Philippians,
-learn more about the life of Paul
-study Scripture more deeply
- and discover his secret to contentment which is centered on life with Jesus.
