In Part 3 of Hill City Church’s Quoted series, Pastor Adam unpacks one of the most misquoted Bible verses of all time—1 Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” Culture often twists this verse into the phrase, “money is the root of all evil,” but that’s not what Paul wrote. In this message, Pastor Adam explores the true meaning of Paul’s words, showing that money itself is not the problem—the danger comes when our hearts become consumed by greed, discontent, and misplaced trust in wealth rather than God. Through Scripture and real-life examples, we see how the love of money has led many to ruin, while biblical contentment produces freedom and peace.

This message from Hill City challenges us to dig up unhealthy roots that choke our faith—complaining, hoarding, stealing, and neglecting spiritual growth—and replace them with gratitude, generosity, and godliness. Pastor Adam reminds us that money is a tool, not a master, and calls us to pursue righteousness, love, endurance, and gentleness. Whether you’ve struggled with discontent, misplaced priorities, or the pressure to measure life by material success, this teaching helps you realign your heart with God’s truth.
