·         Main Point #1: PURSUE righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness by asking the Holy Spirit to GIVE THEM to you!

·         What to “Flee From” (1 Timothy 6:4)

·         Conceit (pride)

·         An “unhealthy interest” in controversies and quarrels

1 Timothy 6:12b-13 Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,

1 Timothy 6:15a which God will bring about in his own time

Mark 13:32-33 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.

Mark 13:36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.

1 Timothy 6:15b-17 God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

Philippians 4:12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

·         Main Point #4: Put your HOPE in God. Everything in our world is uncertain, but God and Heaven are ETERNAL!

1 Timothy 6:18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

·         Live a Godly life (1 Peter 1:14-16)

·         Tell others about Jesus (Acts 1:8)

1 Timothy 6:20b-21a Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21a which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.

1 Timothy 6:21b Grace be with you all.
