Philippians 4:15-23 - Getting the Best Return on Your Investment
An Abundance mentality is a frame of mind in which a person believes there is "enough for everyone". It is contrasted with the scarcity mentality, which is founded on the idea that there is a lack in life, that opportunities are few and far between and given a finite amount of resources a person must protect what they have from others, This is, of course, useful for marketing because if you can convince people they are lacking something, then you can get them to buy that something. Clearly this is what our society is built upon. And Christians who have fallen prey to this mentality - to put it bluntly - are pathetic-lousy givers - not only in how much they give but in how they give. On the contrary, those Christians who have an abundance mentality have a contentment and a joy about giving that is alien to our society. It is this type of mentality that Paul had and also the type of mentality the Philippians had and it is they type of mentality we are to have as well. When we have an abundance mentality we rise above our circumstances - whether we have little or plenty. We are able to give sacrificially and faithfully and experience immense joy as we do it because we understand what we're really doing - we're investing wisely. We're giving as joint owners in the mission of Jesus.

When I Get Enough
In this last sermon on Philippians, Paul shows how the gospel changes everything—our relationships, our finances, our perspective on what God is doing in our lives. In Jesus, God is bringing heaven to earth, and enabling us to experience heaven in our own lives today. He does this by providing for all of our needs in glory in Christ Jesus.
