Satisfied and Striving: Running From and To

from St. John's United Methodist Church - Edwardsville, IL · host St. John's Communications Team

by Rev. Grant Armstrong Sunday, October 13, 2019 1 Timothy 6:4-11  Donate Online - Secure, web-based giving for St. John's UMC SERMON NOTES: I. Greed is a virus that corrupts other values. II. Contentment is a decision more than a feeling. III. Pursuing God is not a passive process.   FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION - Who do you think is the greediest fictional character (in movies, literature, etc.)? - Paul cautions against people who connect with the faith and church leadership to increase their power and wealth. Why has the Christian church been vulnerable to those kinds of power-plays? - What do you think "enough" looks like for U.S. Christians today? How might that be different from other places throughout the world, or through time? - Why does Paul use the term "pursue" to talk about living a godly life? What is the significance of the active imagery? - What is one way you can actively counter the temptation of greed in your life? - What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
