Gathering To Give Thanks
GATHERING TO GIVE THANKS
Pastor Kacy Benson
Bannockburn Church
In this special message, Pastor Kacy unpacks Acts 14:26–28 to show how the early church modeled a powerful rhythm of gratitude, testimony, and mission. After completing their God-given work, Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch—not to boast, but to declare all that God had done with them. Their gathering wasn’t casual or routine; it was a moment of worship, celebration, and shared joy in the grace of God.
Pastor Kacy reminds us that biblical gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a response. God’s grace sends us, empowers us, sustains us, protects us, and accomplishes His mission through us. And when we gather, we strengthen one another by sharing the stories of God’s faithfulness.
This message challenges us to slow down and intentionally thank God for the ways He opens doors, walks with us through hardship, and uses us to bless others. The early church gathered to give thanks—and we’re called to do the same.
Key Takeaways:
God’s grace is active: it sends, carries, covers, uses, and brings us home.
The mission of God is accomplished through ordinary people empowered by extraordinary grace.
Gratitude grows when we testify to what God has done.
God doesn’t always prevent hardship—He meets us in it and helps us through it.
We are called to celebrate every open door God provides for the gospel.

Acts 14:26–28

Psalm 40
Colossians 3:15–17
If your heart needs encouragement today, this message is a reminder that God is still opening doors, still working through His people, and still worthy of all our thanks.
