His Story - Part 1 “Contentment” | Pastor Noah Upton | Discover Church

November 04, 2025 • Discover Church • Season 1 • Episode 16

So many of us are exhausted trying to write our own story — striving, pushing, forcing outcomes, and living frustrated when life doesn’t cooperate. But Scripture teaches us that our lives are not random; they are intentionally authored by God. Contentment begins where control ends. In this message, Pastor Noah teaches that real peace is not found in shaping the perfect life, but in trusting the perfect Author. When we surrender our plans to Him, we gain something far better: confidence, peace, and the strength to stand in every season. Contentment is key.
