November Sermon Series: Gratitude
A New Song of Gratitude and Thanksgiving to God
Based on the book of Psalms
In this series, we discover how gratitude and worship flow from hearts inspired by God’s goodness and faithfulness. Journey through the Psalms and learn to sing a new song of gratitude and thanksgiving to the Lord.
Each Psalm invites us to pause, reflect, and rejoice—teaching us how to give thanks not only in times of blessing but also in seasons of challenge.
As we walk through God’s Word, we’ll learn what it means to trust in the Shepherd who provides, rejoice in the Lord who blesses the harvest, proclaim His glory among the nations, remember His goodness through answered prayer, and finally, celebrate the God who reigns forever. Come, let us worship and give thanks, for the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.

Gratitude Series One: The Lord Is My Shepherd
Sunday, November 2: Pastor Valui
Theme: Gratitude for God’s Provision and Presence
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1 (NKJV)
Our Gratitude begins by trusting the Shepherd who provides, restores, and leads us. He restores our souls, leads us in peace, and walks with us through every valley. When we trust His guidance, gratitude and contentment replace anxiety, and worship flows naturally from resting in His presence.

Key verse: “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
