Scripture (ESV):
Philippians 4:4-7
Philippians 4:11-13
Matthew 6:25
Teaching Notes:
- Strength isn’t found in self-reliance. Strength is found in savior-reliance.
- Contentment is strength that can’t be stolen.
- The path to peace isn’t focusing on your situation, it’s focusing on your savior!
3 Steps to a peace-filled life:
1. Rejoice in the Lord.
2. Pray about everything.
3. Remember who is watching over you.
- We are so focused on what’s against us that we’ve forgotten who is for us!
Reflection Questions:
1. What are some of the things that most often trigger anxiety in your life? How do they impact your sense of peace?
2. Paul rejoiced in the Lord while imprisoned. What would it look like for you to rejoice in who God is rather than in what’s happening around you? What does rejoicing look like in this season of your life?
3. When you feel stress or fear rising within you, what keeps you from bringing those worries to God in prayer right away? What would change if you prayed about those things right away?
4. Paul said he learned to be content “in any and every circumstance.” What makes contentment so hard in our culture? What can you do to choose more contentment?
5. Jesus said not to worry about everyday life. How might your faith grow if you began to see worry as something you can surrender instead of something you must carry? What’s one specific worry you can hand over to God today?
