A Message from Pastor Tom…
Pastors love to exhort the faithful to have hearts of gratitude. Unfortunately, we rarely explain what that really implies for followers of Jesus Christ. A grateful heart has little to do with personal success or accomplishment. For the Christian, gratitude is not simply a passing emotion or transient good feeling. It is a profound awakening to the wonder of God’s creation and the Good News of Jesus Christ. In fact, gratitude is the beginning of all true prayer and all authentic discipleship. As one enters God’s presence with gratitude, improbable dreams become life-giving ministries; the storms of life are stilled, and God’s call on our hearts becomes crystal clear.
Blessings,
Pastor Tom
