ROOM TO BREATHE PT. 3 | MAY 17, 2026
Pastor Wes Morris
I Timothy 6:6 (NIV) Godliness with contentment is great gain.
✓ WE LIVE IN A CULTURE THAT TRAINS US TO BE DISCONTENT.
✓ WE KEEP CHASING MORE BUT NEVER FEEL LIKE IT’S ENOUGH.
Luke 12:16-21 (NLT) Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’ “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”
✓ WE ALLOW COMPARISON TO TURN BLESSINGS INTO BURDENS.
Proverbs 14:30 (NIV) A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
I. LEARN TO BE CONTENT WITH WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN ME.
Philippians 4:13 (NIV) I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:11-12 (NIV) I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Q: What am I currently looking to for peace, satisfaction, or validation besides God?
II. MAKE DECISIONS TODAY THAT PROTECT MY PEACE TOMORROW.
Proverbs 14:15 (NIV) The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.
Q: Are the decisions I’m making today creating freedom or creating pressure?
III. BUILD MY LIFE AROUND WHAT TRULY MATTERS.
I Timothy 6:11-12 (NIV) But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called…
Q: If my life keeps moving in its current direction, will I become the person God is calling me to be?
