The Secret To Contentment (With Greg Laurie)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- My friend Max Lucado says, “The good life begins not when circumstances change but when our attitude toward them does.”
We think if we had a nicer car or a bigger house or a larger salary or a new face or new body, then we’d be content.
Writing to the Christians in Philippi, the apostle Paul said, “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little” (Philippians 4:11-12 NLT).
Paul was in difficult circumstances when he wrote these words. He wasn’t spouting theories from an ivory tower. He was under house arrest, writing from the school of hard knocks. Yet Paul found contentment because he rejoiced in the Lord.
Earlier in Philippians 4, he wrote, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” (verse 4 NKJV). He didn’t say that we should rejoice in circumstances. Sometimes that’s hard to do. But Paul did say that we should rejoice in the Lord.

Greg has a talent,he's a marriage counselor a comedian and the best Preacher Ever! Love you and God bless.
This is what I needed. It’s amazing how God uses Greg Laurie to speak to us.
Me too!🙏❤️🙏
Me as well.
God bless us all. I can do all things thru God who strengthens me. God make me strong. Thru your precious son Jesus I pray. Amen ❤
Have you all seen the Alice Cooper interview? Greg Laurie has zero discernment of who is a brother or sister in Christ. And this isn't about tearing someone down this is about following sound doctrine and being aware of false doctrines. I have a RUclips link that went to the interview, but for some reason RUclips says that it's scamming people by literally linking a video interview of Greg Laurie, they said it wasn't related when it's 100 related, but because it's showing something truthful, I'm not allowed the post the link to the RUclips interview. How interesting is that. 🤷♂️
rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer AMEN

Omgosh laughter and ministery together, the ultimate best medicine. Thank you Pastor Laurie😂
Been listening to him for-years🙏 and it helped my walk as a Christian as a believer 🙏
While listening to this message I’m reminded of this saying: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”.
When you do what's right, obeying God's Commandments, you will have His peace. :)
God bless you pastor Laurie, if you didn't become a pastor you definitely could have been a comedian! Lol. I'm glad you are a pastor though and a great one!
He is definitely captivating. I connect well with his teachings. :-)
I know right?! He is awesome, teaches ppl and makes👍 them laugh! 🎉😁
I lost one of my sons. Yes. It felt like a nightmare. God's Spirit was so good to hold me through it.
I watched these sermons over and over.
Thank you, Pastor Greg! I am so glad you split the video into 3 parts, as I can go through one portion per day and understand the information more effectively.
"I get them from the bible. But by the way, I wasn't always this way. In fact, I was the opposite of this before but Christ has come into My Life. And thank you for that compliment, but anything you see in me is a result of my relationship with Jesus Christ!" I just wrote this down because what a wonderful thing to memorize!!
Wow awesome that your content
Because He lives I can face tomorrow! This has been a great message thank you!
This was a wonderful teaching. I've been all my life. I've loved the Lord all my adult life, and God has definitely had to tell me to stop talking also. When I was young, I was nicknamed "motor mouth." Luckily, I grew out of that, mostly. Thank you for showing me God's divine nature on my human life. Praise God you're His
Blessings
This Man is Great. His light sense of humor adds to His Message.
Greg, thanks to this sermon today I am going to start the process of forgiving someone that is the very first person I felt disgust and so close to hate which is something I've never felt before, because it's making me ill. I tell Jesus that can't stand that spirit inside me every minute of everyday. I rebuke it over and over nut c as I go thru my day. But it creeps in and I want to find her and slap her face. So I'm ready now to rid my heart of that emotion of hate,
Please pray for me because I really want to be free of this terrible feeling. That kind of feeling takes up to much room that could be filling with love for others. Thank you
Keep praying… I was the same way. I hated a person sooo much for 20 plus years… then I had to work with her so it made it harder… I prayed and begged God to help me to get rid of this anger and hate, I didn’t want it, it’s exhausting. I started to pray for her (pray for your enemy) and in time I confronted my Goliath and we made peace. I give God all the glory. He did that. He gave me the strength. He made me realize that my pride and ego got in my way. I no longer have hate for her. We may not talk but it’s okay because I no longer have any ill feelings towards her and that’s because of God. I feel free. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and my chains are gone. It is the best feeling ever and I am forever thankful and great full to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The longer you have hate in your heart, just remember you’re giving Satan that satisfaction. Give God the satisfaction. Pray and forgive. It’s the greatest feeling ever 🙏
Giving makes you happy. So true! What a mouth full! God bless you brother pastor Greg! I have been so blessed with your teachings today! Glory to God!
We love you Greg Laury!! Keep being an incredible vessel for Christ!!
Now? Yes, God is inside of me now. I am calm and peaceful 💯🙏💕🌻☺️
Greg Laurie is 68 looking 45. God is good.
Wow Greg doesn’t look like 68.
Isn’t he 78 🤔
So, when someone made sure to be in good shape and always looked at least ten years younger, but then got a rotten chronic disease and aged 15 years in actual 3 years time, and that disease has taken most everything worked for the last decade, what does that make God in your theology?
God is love ! When we get to Heaven all things are made new 🤗 Even us 🤗
I love Pastor Greg. If I can laugh and be inspired at the same time, I consider it time well spent.
Haha!! Yess!!! I am such a drag and such a downer at times! I have no reason to feel sorry for myself. I actually always have a reason to be happy for myself. I am saved!!! Hallelujah! My life is not sad! It's happy because Jesus Christ has saved me! Regardless of the situation I have a good and happy life.
I am thankful for what I have because maybe I wouldn't love God or be as close to him as I am right now if I had more or less. I thank God for exactly what I have, and I'll thank him for whatever is given and whatever is taken away, because my God will use every circumstance for the benefit of our relationship!
You learned this and so have l.
1:14:43 “I am the resurrection and the life. He that he believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” ✝️🐑🕊️
I learn so much from Greg! Such an amazing teacher of the gospel 💯😎😊

The secret of contentment is being thankful for what God has given you and trusting him and obeying him. The proverb to me says be content with what you have because you could be a lot worse off.
Thank you pastor Greg! This is a great sermon 👏🏼 🙏🏼🤍

Excellent pastor the only one I care to listen to now
Pastor Greg Laurie,
Always receive a blessing from proper dissemination of the WORD.
Even if it was disseminated nearly a year ago. God's word is ageless, and so shall we be in eternity.
I HAD A NDE NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AND I WAS READY FOR GOD BUT HE SENT 📤 ME BACK HERE TOO EARTH 🌎 😇🕊️💒🏩⛪🕍🙏
God bless you
😂 love you pastor Greg. I Praise God for you.
God Bless you Preacher Greg
Amen for Pastor Greg’s teachings.
Amen 🙏 God bless you. I've been praying for my daughter to have godly friends may God hear my prayers. Thanks alot for your sermon 🙌
I feel as though the ceremony was meant for me. Yet I have been saved yet. I have a long way to go. I have a lot of changes to be made. Thank God
For if I thought I was through with the spiritual journey that I am on.
There would be nothing to look forward to tomorrow. It is probably the only journey that is life long.
Yes, I'm not content where I am. And thank God I'm not what I used to be. Thank you very much I really needed to hear this🙏
So here I am listening to this great word Pastor Greg, and at the part about leaving the past behind I receive a text. Who may you ask? My estranged wife of three plus years!!! I have done my best from the outside to be a good influence and example for her and her children but she is even more lost than when we were both lost together! It's neither of us first marriage but when I came to the Lord I wanted to do my best to keep my covenant I made in marriage and allow him to work out the details. So now here I am back to the beginning of this lol. I believe I've been released but not sure if I'm just looking back or waiting for an answer! At this point being 59 and on my own for 3 years I'm not certain I'll ever be interested in another woman, although I feel a sadness and loss not being married. Who says it's tough being young and in love lol! Not even sure why I felt led to write this but here it is.
Oh BTW, I really enjoy your teachings and how smoothly you seem to do so! Thank you for your service to the Lord, it's been a great blessing to me🙏
Bless to find these videos by Pastor Laurie. Thank you Pastor Laurie I've been going through some difficult times and your videos are helping me so much. God Bless you I know God lead me to you today.

One of the most wonderful sermons I've ever heard. It felt like for those moments I was listening to it that God had opened up my mind and expanded it and so much came through and gave me such great joy. Thank you so much! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.❤
It’s a blessing hearing you. Thank God for your life.
May Father GOD Bless you for your good intentions,

Pastor Greg, I started listening to you on the radio and really enjoyed listening to you preaching the word of God. I am reaching out to you because I am struggling and would like to meet with you too see if you could maybe be a mentor or help me become closer to our lord and savior . I have faith ,but do struggle with temptation more than I like . I hope and pray we can meet some time ? I will pray we can cross paths so that you can help me become more knowledgeable in the word.of God. God bless you! Thanks for your continuous dedication to our salvation.
Hello Greg, I couldn’t listening to you so long and you are always enlightening everytimes listen to you. I have went another major operation again on October and God has me miraculously healed inside my body on May Operations…. I have told to my surgeon that May two operations stitches inside was healed but the surgeon didn’t believe me at all so I told to God, my surgeon didn’t believe me so make him believe Lord that you’re real God I am praying 🙏 and guess what when I went operation on 22nd October and when he was opened my body and the first words he said was “Impossible” inside my body was completely healed, of course, God can do anything impossible I/you believe. And now one more operation only left in next year and I will pray 🙏 days and nights until next year that time I’ll pray 🙏 for sure but I don’t worry about it anymore because I am trust him completely that he’ll do rest for me I know now. He is listen to me and talk to me as well. He is super wonderful to me. Oh, I love him so much. 🙏🙏🙏✊👍 I’ll fight back any temptation comes over me because God is with me. And yes, God is telling me ~ don’t worries mate too. I live in Australia 🇦🇺

Amen! Greg Laurie I totally agree with you because one year my son (when he was about eight and the YMCA asked me to be coach for the soccer team of these eight-year-old boys and girls and they told me, “OK, we don’t keep score and there are no winners everybody’s a winner⁉️ and Yeah I didn’t not like that at all because exactly what you said not everybody wins and it’s good to teach them that we all don’t win! I was like “what???” . I am not doing that so I only did it one year, one season that’s ummm ridiculous trophies for everyone 🤪
The eternal prize ...this got me

I have all this stuff for the yard sale all over my yard. I can't stand I wish I had a shed to what it is. Or a solo with a roof.
Pastor Greg. If you only eat twice a day you won’t have to diet. Breakfast and dinner.
Did you know that ‘happy’ is the name of a demon? What we should be seeking is joy rather than happiness
Jesus is Lord

I'M AFRAID 😳 FOR OUR WORLD AND HUMANITY AND ANIMALS AND LIFE 🧬 OF THE LOST SOULS THAT ARE HOPELESS 🎉👻
The secret of contentment is to accept whatever God allows to happen in our lives without questioning God, understanding what the following verse says:
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28 NIV)
🙏⚓️📖
Proverbs 22 amplified ... Scoffers ... Contention strife and abuse ...
I’m a mutter, drives my husband nuts, praying to overcome it
Muttering is fine. It means that you are human.
@@jsmcmxlvii doesn’t feel that way, keeps me in the dumps
@Tiona L As long as you don't curse the Holy Spirit, you can mutter. As Jesus would say, praise the Father and you get anything off the chest.
