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.

According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:3-5
Who among the gods is like you, Lord?
Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? Exodus 15:11
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Romans 11:33-36
