Colossians: Covetousness... Contentment... Confidence

Jesus is clear:"Covetousness will kill you"...and it is one of the prevailing sins of our generation.  Paul is clear:  "Kill Covetousness...nurture Contentment and Confidence in God to take care of you!". This is a continuation of the Colossians series (3:5-6) but will be spending most of our time looking at the Bible's teaching on the 3 C's of the sermon title.

Colossians 3:5-6
Luke 12:13-34
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
1 Timothy 6:6-10
1 Timothy 6:17-19
Hebrews 13:5-6
Philippians 4

Sermon Discussion Questions:

  • What is covetousness and what are some of it's various manifestations? 

  • What does Paul say (in Colossians)  we should do when we see it in us?

  • What does Jesus teach in Luke 12? 

  • What does Paul tell rich people and folks who want to be rich? 

  • Why does God's Word say that  "Contentment" and "Confidence" are such important remedies against "Covetousness"? 

  • How do we nurture these in our life?
