Contentment

Being Satisfied with what you have (See also peace)

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul." (H. G. Spafford)

Activities
	It's My Money A silent auction, where everyone is given one hundred dollars to bid on what they want the most.
	No Whining Students get clued in on how much and how often they really complain.
Games
	Money Hungry The players in this game expose the human tendency towards greed.
Lesson
	Free to Live Students are challenged to recognize that they are called to freedom by breaking the shackles of sin and instead submit their lives to Jesus.
	More than Enough God knows what we need, but gives us so much more. This lesson in Philippians shows the importance and urgency of helping others in need.
	Must Be The Money True riches can not be measured by what we possess, but rather by what we freely give away.
	Pressing On Is it winning that really matters, or how you play the game? For the Christian running the Amazing Race, it is really both. Winning means Victory in Christ.
	The Pursuit In this lesson, students learn from the wisdom of Solomon about the importance of putting our trust in God as the source for our contentment, and not the pursuit of worldly treasures.
	The Truth About Media We live in a media-saturated society, and teens are a huge target. What is the truth behind all the ads?
	The Truth About Money How much do we worship money or the things it can buy? When attached to money, it becomes our master instead of God.
	The Truth About Self-Control Don’t believe our culture's lies that bigger, faster, fancier, and more expensive are better. Contentment is the right thing to do.
	The Truth About You We live in a very "me-centered" and selfish world, but our lives and our bodies are not our own. The truth is we belong to God.
	You Can't Take it With You Do we live like the pursuit of money will bring true happiness? In this lesson, students find that true joy is in Christ, not wealth.
