Being Thankful in Tough Times
A lot of people ask me, “How do I know what God’s will is for my life?” How can I live a life that’s pleasing to God? Fortunately the answer is rather clear. “Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18) You want to know God’s will for your life? God’s will is that in everything, we would give thanks. What this means is if you’re not experiencing the attitude of gratitude you’re out of God’s will.

The Heart of Giving
Giving is a beautiful thing and is the antidote (through Jesus) to worshiping money. The heart of Christian giving is a generous heart, because it is first a thankful heart for the gospel. Out of your salvation should come generosity, sacrificially giving with a cheerful heart because of all that Christ gave to you. Since God is so generous to us, he rewards cheerful giving. Expect God to meet all of your needs as you give out of your thankful, cheerful heart.

All About Me
Continuing in the series -- a problem we all run into that keeps us from having God as the driving force in our life is price. The problem with pride is that it distances me from God as I don't spend time with God, don't serve God and do not give God the credit He deserves. Pride also distances me from others. To fix this problem we need to clothe ourselves in humility. How? We need to spend daily time with God; we need to serve God and others and we need to be thankful to God.

I thank my God
In his letter to the Philippians, the Apostle Paul starts off by thanking God for their partnership in the Gospel. This message is a reflection on Philippians 1:1-11, which reminds us of how thankful we should be, how much what we're dong is not about us, and how confident we should be that what God has started, He will finish.
