Westminster Presbyterian Sumter

Join Pastor Stuart in the eight lesson in our series about Joy. In this sermon, we turn our attention to the Apostle Paul's first letter to the church of the Thessalonians 5:16-18 as we are instructed to "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." This week, Pastor Stuart focuses on . . . "The Connection Between Gratitude & Joy" Gratitude helps us to grow in experiencing more joy. We can express gratitude no matter what our circumstances may be. Because we can give thanks in all circumstances, we can also rejoice always. As those who know the love, grace, and mercy of God in Christ, we have much for which to be thankful! Therefore, we can express gratitude daily. So, let’s grow in joy by growing in gratitude. In concert with this sermon series on Joy, please consider taking some time to listen to the sermon Pastor Stuart preached earlier this year at our April 10th 2022 worship service.
