Give Thanks | Plan Generosity

In this final message of the Give Thanks series, we explore how gratitude, humility, and generosity form a sacred rhythm—an interlocking loop that shapes the life of a Christ-follower. Gratitude is not merely a feeling but a daily posture, a spiritual discipline that begins with recognizing God’s mercy and leads us toward a life of open-handed generosity. Drawing from Colossians 3, Philippians 2, John 13, and the model of Jesus Himself, Pastor Scott invites us to consider how our intentional planning—whether in giving, serving, or forgiving—can become an act of worship. We are challenged to plan our generosity the way we plan our wardrobe, meals, or calendars: with purpose and joy. The message invites us to: Clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience Make allowance for one another’s faults Follow Jesus’ example of humble service Recognize how gratitude leads to deeper peace and more joyful generosity Key Scripture Passages: Colossians 3:1–17 Philippians 2:5–11 John 13:1–17 Reflection: God gave first. Now we give in return—not out of guilt, but out of gratitude. What might happen if we planned generosity the way we plan everything else that matters?
