How to have Contentment

“Have you ever felt like something is missing in your life? Everyone has had moments where they just don’t feel satisfied or content with the way their life is, but they can’t put their finger on what exactly makes them feel that way or how to fix it. Today Pastor Allen continues our “Watch Your Attitude” series by looking into the Bible and sharing where we can find satisfaction and how we can find that missing piece.”

 

Matthew 5: 3-12 NIV

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for, in the same way, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
