Discover the power of a grateful life in this three-week series, “Gratitude.” We kick off by examining the story of the ten lepers, challenging the common 'Thanks... but' mindset, and revealing that true gratitude is a conscious discipline that leads to a profound spiritual wholeness beyond mere circumstance.

Discover how rooting your gratitude in the unchanging character of God—believing He is close, in control, and watching over you—can unlock a profound "peace that transcends all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). Learn the practical discipline of choosing to "sing at midnight" and cling to the truth that God’s character is greater than your current circumstances, offering the only path toward true peace in the midst of your darkest moments.
