  6. One Box Life, Endless Wealth | 1 Timothy 6:6-10 | Pete Snow

    2025. 12. 04.

    One Box Life, Endless Wealth | 1 Timothy 6:6-10 | Pete Snow

    This Christmas season, Pete Snow challenges us to rethink what real wealth looks like. Using the powerful contrast between Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim, Pete calls Christian leaders—and the Church—to embrace contentment, flee from greed, and rediscover generosity that can truly change the world. A timeless message rooted in the Apostle Paul’s warning in 1 Timothy 6:6–10: the treasure that lasts isn’t in what we own—but in who owns us. If God is your Father and the Gospel your treasure, you already carry the wealth you can never lose. 🎄 Big Idea: Godliness + contentment = great gain. Greed + time = many griefs. 📦 Challenge: We end life with one box—so live for treasure with no limits.

    The Bread We’re Really Hungry For | John 6 | Revd Tom Watts

    Most of us feel two hungers: the surface hunger for comfort, ease, pleasure, and control — and the far deeper hunger beneath it. In this sermon on John 6, Tom Watts shows how Jesus exposes our obsession with “food that spoils” and reveals Himself as the Bread of Life — the only One who can satisfy our deepest needs, sustain us to the end, and give life beyond death. 💬 “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry.” — John 6:35 Tom unpacks what it means to feed on Christ by faith, how the miracle of manna pointed forward to Jesus, and why we so often settle for “the van of death” when the feast of eternal life is offered to us freely. Whether you’re exploring Christianity or serving in full-time ministry, this message speaks directly to our misplaced appetites and calls us back to the true Bread that gives life to the world. 🙌 About Tom Watts: Tom Watts serves as an Associate Teacher at Oak Hill College, where he trains future ministry leaders in biblical theology, particularly in our Anglican stream. He is also the Senior Minister at St John’s Downshire Hill in London, a church known for expository Bible teaching and gospel-centred discipleship.
