Great sermon this morning

James Faris – “What is your End?”

1 Timothy 6:1-21

Verse 8 after having food and clothing – the basics of life - we do not need anything else. Instead be like Paul who was able to be content in his circumstances, regardless. It’s not how much you have or don’t have, but how you are content with what you have.

Verse 15-16 you will see who it is that has kept the Word of God perfectly, to him be honor (Philippians 2) Jesus was the exact opposite of the man in verses 1-5. He could have brought everything he wanted to into the world, but he decided to be equal with men who do not have an option to bring anything into the world. (Isaiah 53) Christ bore the sins of those who love money (and everything else too) so that I do not have to fear my end. Jesus makes the FDIC look puny. Don’t come to church thinking “what am I going to gain?”

Verse 19 by giving you will lay up a good foundation against the time to come, grasping onto eternal life and not letting go. You may not be rich in the time on earth, but by giving, not to the point of poverty on your part, but as God blesses you. By doing this you will lay up in heaven your treasure.
