The Transforming Power of Gratitude
As we move toward Thanksgiving, we’re invited to pause and consider how gratitude shapes our lives in lasting ways. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Paul calls believers to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, a simple invitation. These words point us to a posture of the heart that isn’t dependent on perfection or ideal circumstances, but on the faithful presence of God. This week, Pastor Sheri Perenon will bring a message titled “The Transforming Power of Gratitude.” As we reflect on this passage together, we are reminded that gratitude is far more than a seasonal sentiment; it is a spiritual practice that reorients our perspective and opens us to God’s joy and peace. When we choose gratitude daily, whether in abundance or challenge, we begin to see God’s hand at work in ways we might have otherwise missed. Join us as we explore how cultivating a heart of gratitude can renew our faith and lead us into this season with more awareness of God’s goodness.
We want to connect with you! Email Pastor Chad at chadf@ljpres.org to get plugged in, or you can find our website at ljpres.org/connect. We hope to see lives transformed by a relationship with Jesus, and we strive to be a place where you experience and are able to express that transforming love of Christ.
It builds our faith to help give back a portion of what God has given us. If you would like to help further His work in La Jolla, San Diego and the world you can give online at LJPres.org/Donate.
