The Attitude of Gratitude – Outline

Elliot (2nd from left) Gets Baptized!

Gifts of God: The Attitude of Gratitude

Series: In Season and Out of Season

Psalms 8:1-4
David writing about the creation of the stars.
Asking the Questions:
Who are we that God is mindful us?
Why did he care so much about me?

Luke 1: 46-50
She said that He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant.
Fear means to revere God and live in harmony with his will.
When we understand that he created us and knows everything and still loves us. He loves the ones we love even  more than we do.

Obstacles of Gratitude:

Exodus 16:1-35
God met their needs, not struck them down.
God said that they grumbled against Him not Moses and Aaron. When we grumble against authority figures we are
grumbling against God.
When you’re in a situation that can’t be fixed and God comes through. You know it was God.
Over and Over they refused to listen to instruction.
God is going to take care of you. Israelites lost all gratefulness

Three Obsticales
1. Focusing on the negative.
2. Getting critical then thinking you know better.
3. Forgot where you come from.

Matthew 8:5-13

It is not what we see but how we see it.
Jesus was astonished at the faith of this centurion, more than anyone in Israel.
It happen just as you believed it would.

Philippians 4:12-13
Tough days will come. It is easy to be joyful for a little while.
Paul learned to be content in all situations.
There is a convince in God.

Matthew 3:1-10
You need to repent. If you have a bad attitude, you can’t produce good fruit with a bad attitude.

Ain’t no rock going to stand in my place as long as I am alive to glorify His holy name.
