Reading

1 Timothy 6:11–21 ESV
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.

Sermon

1 Timothy 6:11 ESV
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
As for you, Man of God
Flee from self worship and self serving
desire for wealth and personal benefit
leads to the worst sinful behaviours towards others
leads to wickedness of all kinds
leads to your own pain and spiritual distruction
Pursue (run after) the Gifts of the Spirit
Righteousness
Godliness
Faith
Love
Steadfastness
Gentleness
1 Timothy 6:12 ESV
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
“Fight the good fight of Faith”
Timothy was anxious and naturally avoided confrontation
“Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses”
1 Timothy 6:13–14 ESV
I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
“I charge you (command you)”
“in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus”
“who in his testimony before pontius Pilate made the good confession”
“keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach”
“until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ”
1 Timothy 6:15–16 ESV
which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
“which he will display at the proper time”
Paul reminds Timothy of who he worships
in his full glory and majesty
enlisting the attributes of God seen in the old testament
1 Timothy 6:17 ESV
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
Those who are already rich
charge them not to be conceited
think they are above others
but instead be humble
nor set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches
but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy
1 Timothy 6:18–19 ESV
They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
Charge them
to do good, to be rich in good works
to be generous and ready to share
storing up treasure for themselves (in heaven) as a good foundation for the future
so that they may take hold of wthat which is truly life
Mark 10:21 ESV
And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
1 Timothy 6:20–21 ESV
O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.
