True Gratitude
Magnify Church - Rockford
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to slow down and reflect on God’s provision. Sounds good, right? Yet, if we were honest, how often do we believe that what we have or have accomplished, is because of OUR hard work? Do we truly give God the credit He deserves? Dr. Don Denyes takes us back in Scripture to 1 Chronicles to help us have a right view of true gratitude.
