Give Thanks – Teaching Series

Give Thanks is a two-session series that helps students understand biblical gratitude and what it looks like to live a lifestyle of thanksgiving. Students will discover that true gratitude is anchored in God’s character, not circumstances, and will be challenged to let thanksgiving shape how they live every day.  

What's Covered in Give Thanks?

Session 1: Anchored Gratitude (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

This session challenges students to anchor their gratitude in who God is and His character rather than their circumstances. Students will be challenged to let gratitude lead them to worship and root their thanksgiving in the Gospel rather than in circumstances.

Session 2: Living it Out (Colossians 3:15-17; Psalm 100) 

This session challenges students to move from understanding gratitude to living it out as a daily lifestyle. Students will see that biblical gratitude shapes how we treat people, respond in hard moments, and how we worship God.
