Lesson Of The Hour

Life is more than wanting, saving, and gaining. Jesus warned against wanting, which is coveting. Jesus affirmed that life does not consist of the abundance of goods. However, many people feel a sense of security by possessing income and investments. The Scriptures teach that Christians must rely upon God rather than upon wealth. Furthermore, the apostle Paul revealed that godliness with contentment is great gain. Greater than any wealth is relying upon God and finding contentment in Him. This message will draw from Paul's insights about contentment from 1 Timothy 6.Scripture Reading: I Timothy 6:17-19 (read by Dutch Dekker)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded July 29, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL
