Thinking about Thanking - Pt 2

November 24, 2024 • Eric Hankins • 2 Corinthians 8:1–7

So what are you thankful for? You’d think that would be an easy question to answer. Yet how often does the speed of life blind us? How often are the blessings we experience blurred by the chaos we walk in? While we’re busy trying to keep up, do we fail to recognize all we have to be grateful for? Life has a way of chiseling away at a heart of gratitude. But what if we could stop, pause in the moment, and recognize the incredible work of God which surrounds us? What if the intensity of the day to day could be stilled by the peace of thanksgiving? What if we could practice the words of Scripture and give thanks in everything? Perhaps these are the questions we need to ask ourselves so we can begin to see the beauty of a life spent giving thanks. Let's think more about thanking as we do life together. - Give toward what God is doing through First Fairhope: https://firstfairhope.org/give - Join us in person or online every Sunday.

September 29, 2024 • Eric Hankins

In "Words Matter" we will delve into the profound impact of our words and non-verbal cues on those around us. The language we choose, the tone we adopt, and even our body language shapes our relationships and influences our environments. Pastor Eric will share what God's word says about OUR words to each other. So come expecting to transform the way you communicate, how to honor God and uplift those around you!
