About this episode
It is easy to forget to show an attitude of gratitude. 9 of 10 healed lepers did. But Paul challenges the church in Philippi to focus on the positive, to push beyond distractions, and to find joy in all situations. The healed leper who returns to Jesus in Luke's gospel reminds us that a willingness to say thank you starts with a recognition of who we are without Christ, and what a difference He makes in our lives.
The sermon today is titled "I Am Thankful." The Scripture reading is from Philippians 1:3-5. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on November 20, 2022. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under Grow: Spiritual Formation.
