We all grumble sometimes. Yet, how often do we remember the blessings we receive? Today's sermon addresses the challenge of gratitude during teams of disappointment and struggle. We can go through times where gratitude is hard to feel, but trusting in God will bring us to a place where we can feel it once again.


Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 2:4-13

Preached on the 12th Sunday after Pentecost, September 1, 2019 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
