Sunday Sermon 11/30/2025 - Blessed to be a Blessing| The Blessing of Thanksgiving

The Blessing of Thanksgiving — A Life Marked by Gratitude | Pastor Daniel Kolson

🧡 Thankfulness is not seasonal — it is supernatural.

In Week 3 of our Blessed to Be a Blessing series, Pastor Daniel Kolson teaches on the often-neglected spiritual discipline that unlocks intimacy, transforms adversity, and positions us for greater blessing: thanksgiving.

Using the story of the ten lepers, Pastor Daniel shows the difference between those who receive a blessing and those who steward a blessing. All ten were healed — but only one was made whole. Why? Because thanksgiving is the posture that completes the work God begins in us.

This message exposes entitlement, awakens gratitude, and calls believers back to a lifestyle that sees, remembers, and returns to Jesus with thanks. Thankfulness is not just polite — it is powerful. It grounds identity, opens God’s presence, guards the heart, and keeps blessing flowing through our lives.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Luke 17:11–19 — The one who returned

• Romans 8:16 — Thankfulness anchors identity

• Psalm 100:4 — Thanksgiving opens God’s presence

• Philippians 4:6–7 — Gratitude guards the heart

• 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — Give thanks in all circumstances

💬 Highlighted Quotes:

• “Ten were healed. One was made whole.”

• “Blessing must become thanksgiving, or it stops flowing.”

• “Entitlement closes the heart — gratitude opens it.”

• “You enter His gates through thanksgiving, not perfection.”
