Christians shine brightest in the crowds of this world not by their politics or even their religious practices, but by their abiding gratitude toward God. Are you a grateful person? Gratitude is the measure of Christian maturity; it’s the fruit of healthy attachment to Christ in daily living. “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." Colossians 2:6-7 (NKJV) In this sermon, as we approach a national holiday set aside to express thanks, we’ll consider the source, evidence, and impacts of believers’ gratitude toward God.
