If you're sick with the "gimmies," then you want stuff you don't need. But, there is a cure!

Key Points:

  • The “gimmies” are when you always want stuff you don’t really need.
  • The gimmies never satisfy. There is always something: better, newer, faster or prettier out there.
  • The cure for the gimmies is being happy with what God has given you. Stuff isn’t the answer to being happy. We need to trust that God will give us the stuff we really need.

Memory Verse:

Philippians 4:19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
