A THANKFUL HEART

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 4

Pastor Jarrett Stephens reminds us this week that a thankful heart is the birthplace of a giving lifestyle using Paul’s message to the church in 2 Corinthians.

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon here.

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon notes here.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

When Paul instructed the church to give, why didn’t he specify an amount? Pastor Jarrett encourages us to not focus on the amount of money we should give, but to focus instead on the amount of gratitude we have in our heart.

How can our gratitude in giving bless God? Does the gratitude we have in our heart when giving show God that we trust Him completely? (2 Corinthians 9:8-11; Psalm 112)

How can our gratitude in giving bless others? (2 Corinthians 9:12-14) More on this tomorrow, along with Pastor Jarrett’s final thoughts…

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

O Holy, Merciful, and Mighty Father, hear my humble prayer this day.

From my heart to heaven flows thankfulness for your many blessings.

I am truly honored to be your hands, feet, and voice today. Here I am, Lord. Use me to bring hope to a world so desperately in need of you.

May I share words of comfort for the downtrodden and words of healing to those crying out for a touch of your hand. May the Good News be forever on my lips.

Open the understanding of the wanderer to your loving grace. May many seek your forgiveness.

Today, throughout heaven, may angels be rejoicing over the many sinners who repent.

Father, thank you for forgiving me. Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for me while I was yet a sinner. Holy Spirit, fill me, guide me, and use me today.

And if I am granted tomorrow, let’s repeat.

All for the cause of Christ,

Amen
