What significance does The Star have in the story of Christ coming to earth as Savior of the world? How do the Rich Rulers or Magi play into the story and how does this all pertain to us today? Listen as pastor shares how Gratitude has always lead to Giving throughout Christian history.

Have you ever heard of a 501c3 or non-profit ask individuals to stop giving because they had too much? How about a church? Ever seen a pastor stand up and tell the congregation that giving is no longer wanted because there is too much to distribute? Scripture tells about a time that deep gratitude led God’s people to give to the Lord so sacrificially Moses had to tell them to stop giving.

Have you noticed every time there’s major conflict in the middle east our hearts get nervous? Some Christians are quick to say this means Jesus return is imminent, as if it wasn’t already. But isn't the return of Christ supposed to be good news for believers? As we are reminded of the imminent coming of Christ are we challenged to share Him with others or are we just wrapped up in fear and anxiety of what "the end" will look like for us?

Praising and thanksgiving go hand in hand. It’s impossible to praise God without being thankful and just as impossible to be thankful without praising God. So how can we practice continued gratitude according to scripture. Pastor Marc shares practical applications from scripture of how we can consistently practice gratitude.
