Appreciate The Present

In this powerful sermon, we explore the transformative power of shifting our focus from what we lack or have lost to appreciating the blessings that are right in front of us. Drawing from Philippians 1:21, Philippians 4:11-13, and Philippians 4:8, we’ll uncover the secret to finding contentment in all circumstances. Learn how to embrace the present moment and find strength through Christ, regardless of your situation. It's a call to stop dwelling on what you don’t have and instead appreciate the people, opportunities, and blessings God has already placed in your life. Tune in for a fresh perspective on gratitude, contentment, and living fully in the present with a heart that reflects Christ’s love and peace.

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV 

“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬
