Are You a Contented Christian? | David Wilkerson

Published on: 6th July, 2025

Pastor David Wilkerson in this message explores biblical contentment as taught by Paul, emphasizing that true peace comes from the Holy Spirit's inner work, not external circumstances or possessions.

Main Ideas:

  • Contentment is a spiritual mystery learned through prayer and God's Word, not self-help books
  • You can be holy yet lack contentment - godliness with contentment brings great gain
  • True contentment depends on nothing external - it's an inner spiritual work
  • Christians should be content with basic necessities: food and clothing
  • Material things never bring lasting satisfaction - contentment comes by reducing desires, not adding more
  • No human relationship can meet our deepest spiritual needs for contentment
  • Contentment is learned during trials, not after - we must trust God's hand in all circumstances

The sermon calls believers to find complete satisfaction in Jesus Christ alone and be grateful for what they already have.
