“Fight the Good Fight of Faith”

1 Timothy 6:11-14   — Jerry Scheumann

A true faith in Christ is one that perseveres all the way to the end. Therefore, we need to continually take heed to the call to fight the good fight of faith. In our passage, Paul gives the call to persevere in the faith, and then gives several encouragements to do so.

“The Great Gain of Godliness with Contentment”

1 Timothy 6:6-10  — Jerry Scheumann

Whereas the false teachers in Ephesus were teaching that godliness is a means of gain, we learn in the Gospel of Christ that godliness with contentment is a means of great gain. Christ is not a means to an end; he is to be the terminus and fulfillment of our joy and delight.
