In this special Father's Day episode, guest speaker Jeff Stemple delivers a powerful message at Flipside Church, wrapping up a series on 1 Timothy 6. Reflecting on his own experience as a father, Jeff shares a humorous yet poignant story about being called out by his daughter for his "addiction to productivity," sparking a deeper exploration of contentment. Drawing from Paul's letter to Timothy, Jeff addresses the dangers of discontentment—how it distorts the past, ruins the present, and robs the future. He challenges listeners to pursue godliness with contentment, offering practical steps like giving thanks and tithing to break cycles of unrest. With passion and relatability, Jeff encourages everyone to guard their faith, embrace gratitude, and live content in the life God has called them to.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Executive Pastor, A.C. Caswell, teaches from 1 Timothy in the start of Phoenix Bible Church's series entitled True Riches.

Pastor Reggie Stutzman

In a world driven by the pursuit of wealth and self-preservation, the gospel calls us to a better way—one marked by contentment and generosity. In 1 Timothy 6:3–10, 17–19, Paul warns against the dangers of loving money and reminds believers that true gain is found in godliness with contentment. He urges the rich not to place their hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who richly provides everything for our enjoyment. This sermon explores how gospel-shaped generosity protects us from the snares of greed, reorients our hearts toward eternal priorities, and empowers us to live open-handed lives that reflect the generous heart of God.

You are listening to the messages from Pastor Scott Tewell who is the Lead Pastor at Rosedale Baptist Church in Rosedale, MD. Each week we provide these messages to help you grow in your faith and find encouragement through God's Word.

Living in the Presence of God - 1 Timothy 6:11-19 - Pastor John Dube

1 Timothy 6 says that servants must honourably bare the responsibility of faithful service. The chapter next sounds a warning against false teachers and this is followed by one of the greatest, and possibly the hardest, lesson to learn – ie that godliness with contentment is the greatest profit a believer can have in life. We can take nothing with us when we die. All that is important is the legacy that the Almighty sees – a life of devotion to Him and service to others – a life rich in good works. To pursue any other course is a guarantee of frustration and sorrow (just as Balaam found out). Verse 10 tells us, “the love of money” (Greek “philaguros” – literally “lover of silver” which has in Greek the numeric value of 666) is ‘a root of all kinds of evil'. In verses 11-16 Timothy (and each believer) is urged to fight the fight of faith following the example of the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave a faithful witness before Pontius Pilate – costing our Lord Jesus his life. Jesus will, on his return to earth, set up the glorious kingdom of God demonstrating the power and honour of the King Invisible (God the Almighty Father) and the benefits that will come to those who live life by this guide. The letter concludes with a reminder to safeguard the deposit which had been committed to Timothy and a charge to the rich to avoid pride. The rich are counselled to use their God given resources to benefit others (the lesson being based on the life of Hezekiah cp2 Kings 20 verses 12-16). Let us learn godliness with contentment; richness in faith and loving works to others – pause and ponder.

Friday Night Bible Study

Driving Question. Where is true life found? Main Idea. By His grace, true life is found by hoping in God and guarding His gospel. 1. By hoping in God, not earthly wealth (17–19) Two warnings of wealth. i. (17) Danger of haughtiness. ii. (17) Danger of false hope. Helpful and hopeful reminder. "but [set your hope] on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy." Matt 6:19–21 Jn 10:10 Application. [Two indications that you're trusting in Christ and storing up treasure]: i. Thankful to God and rightly enjoy what he provides (17). ii. Be rich in good works, generous and ready to share (18). 2. By holding-fast God's gospel, not man's knowledge (20–21) Paul gives three final pleads to Timothy to have a faithful pastorate. i. A careful ministry (20) ii. A blameless ministry (20) iii. A graceful ministry (21) Application: i. Do you treasure God's Word as a sacred trust, or treat it as common? ii. Are you proactively guarding your heart and your church from error? iii. Are you more influenced by podcasts, pundits, and platforms than by Scripture? iv. Where might your heart be drifting from the simplicity and sufficiency of Jesus? Three Takeaways from 1 Timothy. 1. The Church exists to protect sound doctrine. Know the signs of false teachers (1:3–7; 4:1–3; 6:4–5, 21) Prayer keeps the church gospel centered (2:1–7) Proper roles rooted in creation (2:8–15) Faithful qualified officers (3:1–13) Teaching right doctrine (1:3–7, 10–11; 4:1–6, 11–16; 6:3–5, 20–21) Faithful living that bears Christ's name (1:3–5; 3:1–16; 4:6, 12–16; 6:3, 6–12) Rich doctrine is found only in Jesus Christ (1:1–2; 3:16, 6:21) 2. The Church is a household with structure. Christ is the head of the church (1:1–2; 3:14–15) Prayer and the Word guide worship (2:1–7; 4:13–16) Led by Elders (also called overseers) (3:1–7) Served by Deacons (3:8–13) The Congregation is a family (3:14–15; 5:1–2) Caring for widows (5:3–16) Supporting elders (5:17–18) Accountable to each other (doctrine, relationships, actions, care) 3. The Gospel is for the nations. Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1:15) Prayer (2:1–7) The glorious gospel itself (3:16) The gospel forms the church in missional context (cf Acts 18:19–21; 19:1–10; 20:17–38)

Finding Gainful Godliness in Confiding Contentment - 1 Timothy 6:3-10 - Pastor John Dube

Main Idea: The good fight of the faith is waged in a godly life that is taking hold of eternal life, with eyes set on the God of life. 1. Fight the good fight… in godly conduct (vv. 11-12) The components of godliness in the good fight: Flee worldly pursuits - v. 11a Pursue godliness - v. 11b Guard the faith - v. 12a Take hold of eternal life - v. 12b Hebrews 10:32-34 Hebrews 11:13-16 2. Fight the good fight… for the church's witness (v. 13-15a) 3. Fight the good fight… fueled by the glory of God (vv. 15b-16) "[These] splendid titles are here employed in exalting the princely authority of God, in order that the brilliancy of the princes of this world may not dazzle our eyes… When good men see that the wicked are puffed up with prosperity, they are sometimes cast down; and therefore Paul, for the purpose of withdrawing the eyes of the godly from that transitory splendour, ascribes to God alone “blessedness, principality, and kingly power.” (John Calvin) Response: Make the good confession today (see Rom. 10:9) Flee from sin with the help of the church (see 2 Tim. 2:22) Pursue godliness in the church Know and defend sound doctrine in the church Strengthen your faith in order to take hold of eternal life (see Rom. 10:17) Know God truly. Study Him in order to love Him more. (6:15-16)

What is Paul's ultimate concern in 1 Timothy? To encourage faith that awakens godliness that is passionate about the glory of God.

You don't guard the word of God like you would some other ancient document. You guard it by doing it, protecting it, and passing it on.

This week Director of Ministries Hunter Warner teaches on "fighting the good fight" as Paul instructs Timothy in 1 Timothy 6. In this message you will be encouraged and challenged to pursue this call in a modern context.   Interested in watching a version of this teaching?

Main Point. A corrupt heart uses God to get gain; a content heart finds God is the gain. Driving Question. How can we recognize when our hearts are using God instead of being content in Him? 1. The Marks of Corrupt Hearts (3–5) Three heart issues from the text: 1. Conceited (4). 2. Controversial and Combative (5). 3. Corrupt (5). 2. The Marks of Content Hearts (6–10) 3 motivations for contentment: 1. You cannot take anything with you (7). Ecclesiastes 5:15: As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. 2. You currently have enough (8). "Contentment is not by addition but by subtraction: seeking to add more and more, we multiply our cares; instead, lessen your desire.” Jeremiah Burroughs 3. Your cravings can destroy you (8–9) The Gospel ultimately drives the motivations. 1. You cannot take anything with you. Christ is your eternal inheritance. 2. You currently have enough. Christ is your true sufficiency. 3. Your cravings can destroy you. Christ is your superior pleasure. “ Fighting for contentment (Applications): 1. Examine Your Desires. 2. Rest in God's Presence. 3. Practice Gratitude Daily. 4. Remember the Vanity of the World Keep your eyes on what lasts. “Set your mind on things above” (Col 3).

Paul's final exhortation in 1 Timothy is to “guard the deposit entrusted to you.” What is “the deposit” the apostle has in mind?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I delve into a topic that many Christians grapple with: the love of money. We kick off by addressing the common fear surrounding 1 Timothy 6:10, which was translated incorrectly to state, "the love of money is the root of all evil." This verse often leads believers, especially women, to feel guilty about their desire to earn and manage money, fearing that it may lead them away from their faith. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of understanding the context of scripture. I clarify the original text of 1 Timothy 6:10, and show you how you can determine if you are at risk of the love of money being at work in your life.

In the little word “O,” Paul brings us into a whole world of emotional complexity. He models for us healthy, godly affections for others.

Discontentment often grows when we seek validation from things outside of Christ. In this devotional, I share how God exposed the root of my own need for approval—and how His "no" became an unexpected blessing that shifted my entire perspective. True contentment doesn't come from getting everything we want. It comes from trusting that God knows exactly what we need. Supported by 1 Timothy 6:6–10 and Philippians 4:9–12, this message will encourage you to find lasting peace, gratitude, and confidence in Christ alone.

In this final message from 1 Timothy, we are called to persevere in faith, pursue godliness, and fight the good fight with unwavering hope. Like Timothy and Athanasius before us, we press on toward the light of Christ, trusting that our struggle is not in vain.

In this final message from 1 Timothy, we are called to persevere in faith, pursue godliness, and fight the good fight with unwavering hope. Like Timothy and Athanasius before us, we press on toward the light of Christ, trusting that our struggle is not in vain.

Christian generosity grows out of hearts that place their hope in God. When he is the source of our joy now and forever, we are free to radically give.

Those who look to riches to uphold their hopes will be deeply disappointed. Worldly wealth is fleeting and uncertain. Only God can ground our hope.

If you belong to the King of kings and Lord of lords, you are as safe as you could possibly be. No one rivals your God.

Courage does not come from knowing an opponent to be weak. It comes from knowing our God to be strong. God gives us life, and he sustains it.

How do you take hold of eternal life? You have faith in Jesus. You believe in him, hold tight to him, treasure him, and refuse to let him go.
