Gratitude Day
Preached on the final Sunday of 2019, this Gratitude Day sermon calls the congregation to pause and take stock of God's faithfulness across the year. Rev. Koye-Ladele walks through Psalm 103, the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, and the cautionary tale of Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 32, showing that gratitude is not merely a feeling but a choice to see what God has done and respond accordingly. He breaks down the word GRATITUDE letter by letter, anchoring each in a tangible blessing, from God's goodness and the riches of Christ to increase, transfiguration, and dependence on God. The sermon ends with a prayer that each listener would carry a heart of gratitude into the new year, rejecting murmuring and pride, and becoming a living signpost of God's glory.
