Growing in Gratitude
Luke 17:11-19

“Our faith moves mountains when our faith moves us!”   

Gratitude is way more than an attitude.

Gratitude
	Flows from God’s grace & goodness (2 Corinthians 4:15)
	Enables us to overcome our problems instead of being overcome by them (2 Corinthians 12:9)
	Delights in the Giver; not just the gift (Psalm 103)
	Prevents a complaining spirit (Philippians 2:14, Romans 1:21)

What stunts our growth in gratitude?
	Jealousy/envy
	Becoming bitter
	Busyness

Gratitude
	Grows stronger in humility (Deuteronomy 8:11-18, James 4:6)
	Creates true contentment in our lives (Philippians 4:12-13)

“Be joyful always, pray continuously and give thanks in all circumstances. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
