Message: “The Principle of First” from Brian Richardson

Gratitude and thankfulness is best measured through stewardship--the management of God's property, finances, or affairs. There are multiple layers to our conversation regarding stewardship, one of which is ownership. When it comes to being thankFULL, our horizontal measures (property lines, deeds, titles, bank accounts, etc.) will always leave us reaching for MORE but ultimately grasping LESS.

Scripture References: Ephesians 3:14-19, 1 Chronicles 29:14, Psalms 24:1, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, Luke 6:35, 1 John 4:8, 2 Corinthians 8:7

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.
