In this passage, we see one of Pauls most famous scripture encouragement to the church. It, however, is one of the most infamously misinterpreted passages of the NT. How does he describe true contentment? Why are we so miserable when it comes to the gain and loss of our possessions? What does God say about contentment in the scriptures? What was Jesus reward on the cross? He ultimately leads the church to know that Contentment ultimately has nothing to do with having plenty or poverty. It's something much greater.

Paul writes his most positive letter to the church of Philippi from a jail cell! While many of Paul's letters focus on rebuking sinful behavior and correcting false doctrine, in this letter he is simply calling the church to joy, unity, and purpose in the midst of suffering and persecution.
