The Weight"Habitual Gratitude" with Neal PlantingaDr. Corneilus Plantinga has a few words to say about gratitude, and it may just change your life--physically, spiritually, and emotionally. A habit of gratitude can lower your blood pressure and help you sleep better. But the habit of gratitude also ties us together collectively, in community and in church. When there is genuine appreciation of an act of kindness or a loving word, the memory of that “thank you” is a cushion when disagreement tries to divide us. Gratitude for God’s gifts reminds us daily that we can find something good, even in tough situations.2024-05-0947 min

Gulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsLight, Life, Love: God is Light – 1 John 1:5-10Speaker: Jerry Cisar
Christian community (fellowship, koinonia) is predicated on forgiveness—the forgiveness of God for our sins. We are a people who have been rescued and still need rescue from sin. When John sets out to communicate the Gospel he heard from Christ, this is where he begins.
Some might think that John is laying a guilt trip on us, but this misreads the situation altogether. John is laying a forgiveness trip on us, no doubt, and a reality check, for sure.
