More of What?

What is the “good life”? People have explored that question for millennia. When we look at Scripture and the teachings of Jesus, one of the key conclusions that can be drawn is that the “good life” is found in giving and being generous. This week, we look at the role of generosity in combating greed and helping us be content. Contentment is when I'm satisfied with what I have and who I am, rooting it all in Jesus. Wealth is neither good nor bad, but it's not neutral—it's very powerful and often deceptive, drawing us away from putting our hope and finding our contentment in God. When I'm content, I recognize there is more gain in giving and more abundance in simplicity.

Scripture References: 1 Timothy 6:6-11, 1 Timothy 6:17-19
