Gratitude // November 30th // Reed DeVries
Monday, 1 December, 2025
This powerful message challenges us to reimagine thanksgiving not as a single holiday, but as a transformative way of life. Drawing from Romans 8, we're reminded that we are 'more than conquerors' through Christ—a truth that transcends our circumstances. The sermon explores how biblical figures like David and Paul maintained attitudes of gratitude even while running for their lives or sitting in prison with beaten bodies. The key insight? Thanksgiving isn't an emotion we wait to feel; it's a command we choose to obey. We learn that complaining is merely a habit, while giving thanks is a spiritual discipline requiring intentional practice. The challenge presented is radical: what if we stopped praying about what we want and instead spent a week only thanking God? What if we thanked every person we encountered? The practical framework of 'pray it, say it, every day it' offers us a roadmap to shift from circumstance-driven emotions to Christ-centered gratitude. This message reminds us that our circumstances will never defeat us—only our attitude about them can. When we focus not on the 'what' of our trials but on the 'who' of Jesus within us, we discover the secret to living as people who are truly different from the world around us.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.
