Thankfulness
1 Corinthians 1:1-9
Marquis Porterfield | Youth Director
True, transformational gratitude is not just a reaction to our circumstances, but a foundational spiritual posture that sustains us through life's crushing trials and protects us from arrogance during our seasons of abundance.

Reflection Questions

  1. How can we practically maintain an attitude of thanksgiving and show grace to others when we feel like we are in the “olive press,” being crushed by life’s trials or facing constant opposition?
  2. Considering the danger of “spiritual amnesia,” how do you personally ensure that your gratitude during seasons of feasting and abundance, leads to humility rather than taking God’s blessings for granted?
