The sermon delivered from 1 Timothy 6:6 centers on the theme of godliness and contentment. The speaker begins by expressing personal conviction and the challenge of deciding whether to preach this message, acknowledging its deep impact on him. The core of the message is drawn from 1 Timothy 6:6, which states, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” The speaker explains the importance of godliness—living a life that reflects the nature of God’s kingdom—and how true contentment stems from this godliness.

The sermon highlights that contentment is often difficult to achieve, particularly during challenging times. The speaker uses examples from his own life, such as his car and job, to illustrate how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparison, which can rob one of contentment. He references King Solomon’s experience in Ecclesiastes, noting that Solomon, despite having everything, found that all was vanity without godliness.

Further, the speaker contrasts the peace that comes from godliness with the emptiness of comparison. He emphasizes that contentment should not come from comparing oneself to others but from focusing on what God has provided and the path He has laid out.

The speaker then makes a personal confession, revealing that despite being content with the material and circumstantial aspects of his life, he is not content with what he has given back to God. He challenges the congregation to reflect on their own lives and relationship with God, questioning whether they are truly content with their spiritual walk and the efforts they’ve made to fulfill God’s calling.

In conclusion, the sermon calls for a self-evaluation, urging the listeners to ask themselves if they are content with their relationship with God and, if not, to identify what needs to change in their lives. The message is a reminder that true contentment is found not in material gain or comparison but in a deep, ongoing relationship with God that reflects His will in everyday life.
