1. Paul’s contentment was learned through life’s ups and downs, not found in changing circumstances. (10-14)

-We can’t base our contentment on what we have, we have to base our contentment on Christ’s provision.

-Be teachable! In all life’s ups and downs, ask yourself, “How has the Lord provided for me in this season?”

2. The Philippians’ generosity is a mark of spiritual maturity and an act of worship. (15-18)

3. Both contentment and generosity flow from confidence in God’s faithful provision. (19-20)
