This Week | July 12 – 18, 2024
July 14 | Summer at The Lakes: The Joy In Being Content – Pastor Chris Clark
Synopsis: Have you ever struggled with your lot in life? Have you found yourself saying, “If I could just have this;” “If I could just do this;” or “If this would happen, then I would be happy?” The apostle Paul faced those moments in life as well. Yet in all of his life experiences, he discovered that being content with your station in life is something that must be learned. But when you learn contentment, it unlocks a new level of joy that makes life even more abundant and fulfilling. We will look at Philippians 4:10-13 and discover the Joy in Being Content.
Fighter Verse: Philippians 4:11 – “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.”

What’s Happening?
40 DAYS THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT | JUNE 17
We want everybody to be involved in seeking the Lord through His Word. Listen to what Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” All it takes is 28 minutes a day to read through the New Testament in 40 days.
You can pick up a bookmark to track your reading this Sunday! We also have it digitally available here.
