经文 Scripture Philippians 4:10-23
日期 Date 27/3/2022
Discussion Questions on “Biblical contentment: scope, source and sustainability ”
Scripture Text: Philippians 4:10-23
1. Can you recall a situation/example when you were not content with the situation? Why? What do you think caused this kind of thinking/feeling?
2. What do you think is the root cause of discontent? What do you think is Paul's "secret" for contentment? How might this help you in handling discontentment?
3. What do you think are the most common reasons for people not giving? Should "full time" Christian workers be more responsible in making their own money/living? Why or why not?
4. Discuss the differences between "needs" and "wants". Evaluate some of your desires of your heart and try and categorize them whether they are "needs" or "wants". Does God ever routinely supply our "wants"?
Explain your answer
