EXTRA! For Student Leaders—Simplicity: Finding Contentment in a Busy Life—Outline and Social Media

August 12, 2019 By Morgan Hawk 1 Comment

We live in a world where innovation is at an all-time high. It seems that every week a newer version of something you just purchased is on the market. It’s bigger and better and it fuels a feeling of discontentment. How can we live with simplicity in a world that forever tempts us to be discontent with what we have and to fill our lives with more? Thankfully, the Bible has a lot to say about contentment. In these six sessions, we will discover biblical principles for simplicity and contentment—and it begins with a focus on Christ. By the end of this unit, we will all be able to say with the apostle Paul, “In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:12-13).

Session 1: A Centered Life

Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34

The Point: When your life is centered in Christ, everything else falls into place.

Session 2: A Daily Pursuit

Scripture: Philippians 4:4-9

The Point: Deepen your relationship with God by spending time with Him every day.

Session 3: The Key to Contentment

Scripture: Philippians 4:10-20

The Point: True contentment comes through Christ alone.

Session 4: Godly Contentment

Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6-11,17-19

The Point: Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Session 5: A Slower Pace

Scripture: Exodus 20:8-11; 31:12-17

The Point: Rest is a gift from God.

Session 6: Uncomplicated Relationships

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-12

The Point: Let God’s love drive how you relate to others.
