Think Local - Thanksgiving Week 2019
The weekend before Thanksgiving, our campus pastors each delivered individual messages to their campuses on the topic of gratitude in our lives.
Thanksgiving is more than a national holiday filled with family, food and traditions. For a follower of Jesus, biblical thanksgiving is much more than that. It’s a lifestyle. It’s an act of worship. It’s the voice of faith. It’s a reminder of who God is and who we are in Him. It’s a powerful tool against our adversary and it’s an incredible witness to the world. In a discontented and unappreciative world, learn the power of thanksgiving.
Life is hard. Because of this reality, most of us trudge through life hanging onto faith, but wondering if the abundant life that Jesus spoke of was just an empty promise. The truth is that life is hard, and yet, in Jesus we can obtain an abundant, joy-filled life. In this message, we’ll discover how to access joy through practicing gratitude in fellowship with one another.
