Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.

Episode 348: Gratitude and Contentment (Message 2: Contentment)
Manage episode 450826970 series 1187520

What does true joy and contentment look like in a culture obsessed with more? From DJ Khaled’s massive sneaker collection to high-profile pastors wearing luxury shoes, it's easy to point fingers. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself: How many possessions, experiences, or achievements do I need before I feel satisfied? We all fall into the trap of thinking "just a little more" will bring lasting happiness. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.
In this message sermon, we dive into the biblical and practical truths about gratitude and contentment. Drawing insights from the book of Ecclesiastes and studies in psychology, we explore why chasing fleeting pleasures leaves us empty and how practicing gratitude can fill us with genuine joy.
Discover why the Bible repeatedly calls us to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) and how embracing a lifestyle of gratitude not only elevates our happiness but transforms our relationships, strengthens our resilience, and brings us closer to God’s purpose for our lives. Learn how weekly worship plays a crucial role in forming this habit and why your presence matters as we create a collective offering of thanksgiving.
As Thanksgiving approaches, this message challenges us to shift our focus from what we lack to what we already have, recognizing that every good gift comes from God. Are you ready to start a journey of daily gratitude and find the lasting contentment your heart longs for?
✨ Key Points:
• Why pleasure alone can’t bring happiness
• The surprising benefits of gratitude backed by science
• How worship transforms gratitude into a way of life
• Practical steps to build a habit of thankfulness every day
🎥 Watch now to learn how you can cultivate a life filled with joy and contentment through the simple but powerful practice of gratitude. Don’t miss the opportunity to change your mindset and experience a deeper, more meaningful life!
