God provided relationships. (vv. 10-20)

Paul and the relationships at the Philippian church that provided for him amidst trials.

God provided contentment. (vv. 11-13)

Contentment comes through trust in God.

Strength from God enables us to trust amidst all circumstances.

God provided Jesus. (v. 19)

Jesus is the place, the source whereby God’s wealth, riches, and abundance is found- through which all our needs are met. Praise be to God!
