1 Timothy 6:11-21

Big Idea: The Fight is Real and the Cost is Worth it

1. Battle Tested - Eternally Worth it

“Fight the good fight” literally means

“agonize the good agony”

2 Timothy 4:7

Romans 8:18

"I would rather be in this wheelchair knowing Jesus than on my feet without him." Joni Eareckson Tada

2. God can be Trusted - Riches can not

1 Timothy 6:17

1 Timothy 6:9-10

Proverbs 23:5

3. Treasures Exist in Heaven

“We live in a world where we crave material things as well as fame and glory. In the grand scheme of things, these are just superficial wants and there is more to life than just those goals. Life is much bigger than that but the problem is we can be clouded into thinking that those are the only reason to live…” Geek Wisdom

Revelation 21:21

Matthew 6:20

Our time on earth is temporary, but our impact is eternal.
