Welcome to Monday Minute! We're diving into the idea of contentment, starting with our first teaching from "Generous." If you haven't caught part one yet, definitely go back and give it a listen! In this session, we’re tackling the challenge of being content no matter the circumstances. The exercise I shared is simple but powerful: practice saying, “It could be worse.” Think about it—each time we scroll through social media or watch TV, we're bombarded with messages that make us feel like our lives could always be "better." But what if, instead, we grounded ourselves with a quick “it could be worse”? This week, I encourage you to step back, unplug if you need to, and try this mindset shift. You might find yourself just a little closer to true contentment. Did you know that over 6 billion people around the world don't know Jesus?

We're kicking off a new four-week series on Philippians 4, diving deep into what it means to be content and generous. With the upcoming election and the tensions it may bring, it’s a timely reminder that regardless of outcomes, Jesus remains on the throne. As we anticipate some may feel joy and others disappointment, we'll gather for a special prayer and worship night on November 10th to ground ourselves in God’s kingdom.Today, we start by exploring how our relationship with money affects every aspect of life—from family dynamics to inner peace. Whether we’re savers or spenders, money has a powerful influence on our emotions, decisions, and even our faith. For many of us, money issues are a source of stress, but we’ll see how biblical principles of generosity can bring peace, strengthen relationships, and even transform how we manage our finances. Together, let’s uncover what it means to live with open hearts and open hands, trusting God’s provision and seeking His purpose. Did you know that over 6 billion pe
