“Living the Good Life”
1 Timothy 6:18 & 19
The good life is not about what we accumulate, it is about what we contribute.
1 Timothy 6:18,“They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,”
1 Timothy 6:19,“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.”
The good life is about becoming “rich in good works.”
How do we become rich in good works?
1. Plan and strategize
2. Use your unique gifts to add value
3. Exercise self-discipline
4. Endure and readjust
5. Leverage time and wisdom
Those who are “rich in good works” diversify their wealth
· Family
· Church
· Career
· World
In the good life we cultivate a lifestyle of generosity
Acts 20:35, “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’."
The good life requires we understand the paradox of the kingdom: we can only keep that which we give away.
