Thanksgiving 2023: In Your Hearts

Our thanks to God are more than a forced expression but a heartfelt response rooted in understanding his grace. Praise rooted in gratitude has a unifying power for believers. The call on us as the people of God is to let the word of Christ dwell in us richly, prompting a collective life of thanksgiving and worship. The aim is a symphony of thanks from God's covenant people in response to Christ's mercy.

Consider these questions as you listen to this week's message:
1. How does genuine gratitude, rooted in understanding God's grace, differ from obligatory thankfulness?
2. In what ways does the collective embrace of Christ's word foster a unified symphony of thanks among believers?
3. How does the concept of gratitude, as described in Colossians, influence individual lives and the communal identity of God's covenant people?
