Message: “Blessing” from Brian Richardson

We tend to think of "blessing" in tangible, measurable ways, but God thinks much deeper. Blessings speak to our relationship with God through Jesus, and are intended to pull us into relationship where we realize how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ... that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Therefore, thankFULLness is not a time to relax and "loosen our belts"--we are filled for a reason! And blessed people bless people.

From Series: "ThankFULL...More or Less"

Gratitude--or thankfulness--is considered by many as the "forgotten" virtue. Our understanding of gratitude is reflected in what, when, and how much we give to God and to others. Whether we are MORE thankful or LESS thankful depends on our view of ownership, our response to God's blessings, and is evidenced in our expressions of worship. Join us during this season of thanksgiving as we strive to be ThankFULL in all we do.
