Worship is the engine of the Christian life; it is the driving motivation for all we say and do. What's more, the spark that gets that engine running is thanksgiving. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the whole purpose of life is to respond to the God who ransomed us from our hopeless condition with a lifestyle that says, "thank you". As a matter of fact, Paul whittled down the will of God to this summary statement – "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1Thess.5:18). Gratitude comes easy when life is easygoing, but can seem impossible when life brings catastrophe. Apart from the example of Jesus Himself, there may be no better example in all of history of a man who gave thanks in "all" circumstances than the Apostle Paul. Join us on Sunday as we examine the true historical account of a man who practiced gratitude in the midst of a storm.
