What is contentment? The oxford dictionary states:

“A state of happiness or satisfaction.” I wonder who here can say they are truly happy or satisfied?

We are all quite aware that the world is going through economic turmoil and thousands of people have lost or are going to lose their jobs. You may be in that situation today. So here’s a question…If I were to lose my job, my family, my health….would I be content?

Love. This is a large topic but it is what lies at the core of Christian living. We studied this topic in our home group over about 6 months and now I’m about to attempt to cram 6 months of learning into 30 minutes. What I propose to do is simply give the main aspects of love and allow scripture to speak for itself. As I go through each passage I encourage you to think of ways you can apply God’s word to your own life. Knowledge of scripture needs to be translated into action. Remember 1 Corinthians 8:1 knowledge puffs up but love builds up.
