True Contentment
We have been in the first letter of Paul to Timothy – learning about our Faith’s Foundation. (1.) Learning of how to prevent the practice of false religion by teaching no other doctrine – 1:3, (2.) Learning the power of God’s grace – 1:14, (3.) That we must be a people of prayer – 2:1 and all according to the will of the Lord – 2:8,
(4.) How to be good leaders and servants – chapter 3, (5.) Exercising ourselves toward godliness – 4:7, (6.) And living honorably toward all – 5:3.
All these lessons require that we are members of the body of Christ, that is members of one another, and that we love God above all, then we love one another before all. In our lesson today we first want to see what doesn’t bring True Contentment and then what does.
Notice with me then in verses 3 through 5 as Paul explains where we don’t find true contentment, or what robs us of true contentment…
