Summary

Advertisements, gift guides, and “must-haves”. We can find ourselves feeling discontent with what we own. How can we find contentment in the midst of a culture that continually promotes more? This is a relevant issue any time of the year, but it’s heightened around the holiday season. Is it possible to enjoy our material possessions without idolizing them? How can we enjoy the good gifts the Lord provides without getting distracted from the things that matter for eternity? Should our contentment be found in “stuff” at all? We find these hard questions sufficiently answered in God’s Word.
