True Contentment Vs. Love of Money (1 Timothy 6:9-19) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

There are a lot of things that compete for attention these days. Surrounded by messages of media and culture, children often see the idea that more “stuff” will satisfy them. It’s important to impart from an early age that our contentment comes from Christ, rather than worldly wealth.

This lesson aims to communicate the beauty of seeking Godly contentment with what we have, rather than striving after temporary things. As humans, we might try to find happiness in a lot of things: fame, fortune, food…but the only thing that truly satisfies is Jesus Christ.  We can be content knowing that God has and will provide us with all that we need. When we trust in the promises of the Lord, we can pursue the things that bring genuine joy.
