"Philippians 4:12 reveals a profound truth: there is a “secret to learning contentment.” As Paul shows in the next verse, the secret is the strength Christ provides: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This verse is a powerful reminder that our ability to be content comes from Christ’s strength.
Think of a tree: we only see the part above ground, but the unseen roots gather the vital resources. Similarly, the spiritual roots that go deep into Christ for the strength He provides are the essential part of contentment nobody sees.
With Being Content God’s Way, you will…
• learn to “be content with what you have” (Hebrews 13:5)
• enjoy personal stories and application to daily life
• be equipped to put off covetousness (Colossians 3:5)
• receive biblical answers to common questions
• discover why “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)
Contentment is not an elusive concept. Instead, it is a tangible reality within our reach through a relationship with Christ."

Crowds followed Jesus everywhere—but crowds aren’t the same as disciples.
In the Gospels, people could be near Jesus physically while being far from Him spiritually. Jesus defines discipleship clearly: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23; 14:27).
In this message, we look at the difference between being part of the crowd and truly belonging to Christ, and how Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross behind Jesus becomes a living picture of discipleship (Luke 23:26–27).

Question: Are you in the crowd—or are you following Christ?
Centuries before Jesus stood before Pilate, God gave a prophetic preview in Zechariah 11—including the shocking choice of a substitute and the tragic rejection of the true Shepherd.
