Global Mission Service: Contentment

Emma Broughton

Emma walks us through Philippians 4:10-14 and emphasises that leaning into Christ as our source and strength is how we cultivate contentment in ALL circumstances. Emma relates this to what she observed during her time with our mission partners in Burundi.

Life Group questions

Global Mission Service: Contentment

Global Mission Service: Contentment on Mission. Contentment in Life.

Read Philippians 4:10-14. Read it slowly and verse by verse.

  • What stands out to you?
  • What does contentment look like to you?
  • Describe a time when you have been content when you were in a time of need.
  • What are ways we can actively cultivate contentment? (look at Philippians 4:8-9, 4:14, 4:6, 4:10 and 4:13)

Spend time praying for our Michou & Viola, our mission partners in Burundi. Daily life in Burundi can be difficult due to fuel shortages. Pray for the church that they will continue to see opportunities to share God’s love in all circumstances.
