1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 PSALM 48:12 PSALM 22:3 What is the difference between thankfulness and gratitude? Thankfulness is a response to a ________________________________. Gratitude is a _________________________, a state of grace. Most of us have a story or stories of God’s faithfulness that brought gratitude. Truth: God is attracted to grateful people. What do we know about gratitude? 1. Gratitude is never invisible or silent. Luke 6:45 When we are grateful, we will say it and show it. 2. Gratitude sustains joy and blessing. Psalm 9:1 The secret to joy is learning to remember all that God has done for you, especially in the bad times. 3. Gratitude begins when entitlement ends. 1 Corinthians 15:5 It is impossible to be grateful for something we think we are entitled to. Without God, what are we entitled to? God’s mercy keeps us until God’s grace finds us! 4. Grateful people can find a blessing or enlarge a blessing. Psalm 126:5-6 You have everything you need to do everything God has asked you to do. Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally
