November 5, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Craig S. Brown • Luke 19:1–10
Gratitude is usually a response to something done to or for us. We say, “Thank you!” when something happens which brings joy, satisfaction, or even wholeness. Sometimes we feel the sense to do more than just say, “Thank you.” This week's sermon explores some of the different forms thanksgiving can take.

October 29, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Craig S. Brown • 1 Thessalonians 5:12–22
“In everything, give thanks.”, the Apostle Paul tells us. How hard this is to do. The daily pressures of life and constant distractions easily lead us away from thanksgiving. Re-centering our lives in gratitude each day can change the way we live and see the world.
October 22, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Craig S. Brown • Romans 5:1–5
Romans 5:1-5 Christians can give thanks to God for many reasons! Foundational to all of them is God's saving grace in Jesus Christ. That grace is a gift to us. Not only does it offer us salvation, it also offers to us a way of being made stronger even in the most challenging times.
