Sermons About Contentment
Content with what we do
As the writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us, without God everything we do is ultimately fruitless; meaningless. But with God, we can be content in our work; contentment frees us from the "if only"s; we are where we are to do Gods sovereign will. We should not value ourselves by what we do, because God has already valued us - he paid for us with His Son. Therefore, it's not for others to judge our worth, nor should we judge the worth of others by their job, character or any other attribute. We all have different gifts, roles or functions that we must faithfully use for the good of the whole body of Christ. God has made us as he has, to paly a particular part. We can serve God in all things, and it is He who gives us strength (Col 3:22-24).

Joy Busters
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Do you? If you were raised in church, you've probably heard that song, but we want you to be able to sing that and mean it! Happiness is based on circumstances but joy comes from the Lord. In this sermon Bro. Todd talks about joy "busters" or those things that can steal your joy.

We can end up making idols as we look for contentment in the wrong places - ony Jesus can provide spiritually wholesome contentment that satisfies our hearts.

God wants to say yes
When Jesus tells us to, "Ask, and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you..." what does He mean? Can that possible mean that God wants us to have what we want? All we have to do is ask? Well, sort of, the catch is that God wants us to ask Him for the things He is already doing, for Kingdom impact. He wants us to seek after intimacy with Him, and he wants us to knock on the door of heaven as week seek to be aliens here on earth. When what we want becomes what the Father wants, we finally understand the context for this promise.
