“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” is one of the most quoted—and most misunderstood—verses in the Bible. What was Paul actually saying?
In this message, Clay teaches through Philippians 4:10–13 and shows that this passage is not about achieving success, reaching goals, or unlocking unlimited potential. Instead, Paul is teaching the church the secret of contentment—learning to trust Jesus in both abundance and need.
Writing from a Roman prison, Paul explains that contentment is not passive and it is not natural. It is something learned over time, through hardship and blessing alike, as we depend on Christ’s strength rather than our circumstances.
In this sermon, you’ll hear:
* What Philippians 4:13 really means in its biblical context
* Why contentment is learned, not automatic
* How both abundance and suffering test our trust in God
* Why success and comfort cannot produce lasting joy
* How Jesus gives strength to remain content in every situation
