This Sunday we’re looking at one of the most powerful truths in 1 Peter. Before God ever speaks to our struggles, He speaks to our identity. You are chosen. You are loved. You belong to Him. And embracing that truth shapes a life of real thanksgiving.
As we head into the Thanksgiving season, we’re going to go more in depth applying 1 Peter 2:9-10 and other passages to discover why gratitude isn’t just a reaction to good circumstances but the natural response of someone who knows they are chosen by God. If you’ve been feeling worn out or overlooked, this message will lift your heart and steady your faith.
Come ready to be encouraged and reminded of who you are in Christ. You are chosen to be thankful.
