Sermons on Timotiyos I 6:6:

Take Hold Of Eternal Life

Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Sep 28, 2016

Jesus has just said, "No one can serve two masters; you cannot serve God and money" (Luke 16:13). Then Jesus goes on to share his parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Paul's words to Timothy (I Timothy 6:6-19) support Jesus' claim.

“Take Hold of Eternal Life” Amos 6:1-7; I Timothy 6:6-19; Luke 16:19-31 Proper 21-C, September 25, 2016 All three of the Scripture lessons read in our worship service this morning could easily remind us of that old adage: “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!” ...read more

Foundational Guidance (Part 3) Series

Contentment

Contributed by David Paulson on Aug 28, 2017

It is an issue I wrestle with and I see the body of Christ wrestle with. The world wrestles with it too, but there is a difference how a child of God deals with discontentment. A short write up, touching a few points close to my heart.

No, not my preferred topic and I dislike discussing it as I continue to struggle with it on a daily basis. But it’s wise to address a problem and deal with it before it gets out of hand and leads you down the path of no return. It was a struggle, it is a struggle and hesitantly I have to admit it ...read more

For The Love Of Money?

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 29, 2019

Dough And Bucks

Contributed by Terry Melton on Aug 4, 2019

Looking at “dough” and “bucks.” I am not referring to the kind of “deer” that God created, but rather the "dough" and "bucks" that man created, and hold too "dear" to our hearts, for the love of money is the root to all kinds of evil.

When my daughter was little, we were driving along a country road, and she spotted a deer. She asked, “Does the deer have any doe?” I said, “Ya. Two bucks.” Today, we will have a look at “dough” and “bucks.” I am not referring to the kind of “deer” that God created, but rather when we hold the ...read more

Labor Day 2019 - Love One Another

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 31, 2019

Things I Should Have Learned In Kindergarten

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 31, 2019
