God Notices When We Are Grateful

About this episode

Tom teaches that God honors a grateful heart and encourages believers to live out their faith through gratitude and obedience.

Tom teaches that God notices and honors a grateful heart, using the healing of the ten lepers in Luke 17 to show how obedience and thankfulness reveal true faith. It encourages believers not to despise “small” or “insignificant” seasons—just as Jesus came from Nazareth—because God often does His best work in humble places. Finally, it calls Christians to live out 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 by rejoicing, praying continually, and giving thanks in everything as the Holy Spirit transforms their lives.
