Growing in Gratitude

Rev. Dan Sung
Philippians 4:1-13

Paul concludes his letter to the Philippians with a call to trust the Lord in the midst of various circumstances: in conflict, in persecution, and in the inward anxiety that they may face. Through all of these things, the God of peace is with them and with us today, that we may grow in gratitude regardless of our circumstances.

Turning to God in faith transforms us into a new creation -- it changes the way we approach all aspects of our lives. This means that growing in our faith involves the reshaping of our thoughts, attitudes, and regular habits in life. By practicing these transformed habits, we can get a deeper appreciation of who God is and what he is doing in our lives both individually and collectively as a church community.
