“Because he (Paul) was of the same trade he stayed with them (Aquila and Priscilla) and worked, for they were tent-makers by trade” (Acts 18:3).
Message summary:
Today I want to thank tent-makers like Paul, hose-makers like Luis and so many of you who are working hard to provide for your family and contributing toward others with your skill-set. Consider how Paul used this work experience to spiritually influence Aquila and Priscilla who later became a powerful ministry team. Ultimately God, in His providence, has positioned you at your workplace where you can influence others for the kingdom of God.

“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Philippians 4:11). “But godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6).
Message summary: Among the many ways the world seeks to force us into its mold is the lie that the new can offer lasting satisfaction. Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want (which will always be changing), but the realization of how much you already have and finding satisfaction with that. It’s realizing that, “All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.”
