This week’s sermon, titled “A Grateful Heart,” focused on the story of the ten men who were healed by Jesus, but only one returned to thank Him and praise Him. Pastor Joy delivered this message to remind us to be grateful for what the Lord has given us.
We often desire more unhindered joy in our lives and find ourselves longing for what we don’t have, rather than appreciating the blessings already present. Gratitude can be challenging, especially in complicated or frustrating situations. Instead of dwelling on what we lack or what isn’t going well, we must shift our attention to what we have and what is going right, appreciating the present moment. We need to recognize His abundant blessings in big and small matters, even amid challenges.
As we wrap up 2024, let’s reflect on the countless times God has provided and protected us, drawing us closer to His faithfulness. Moving into 2025, may we embrace the joy of His unconditional love and find ourselves overflowing with gratitude for His forgiveness, miracles, and unwavering support.
Happy New Year, Church!
