0:00 You are listening to Waters Church podcast. Waters Church is a multisite, multigeneration community of faith on the East Coast of America. Now for a message from our pastor.0:12 I0:13 do wanna say happy Mother's Day. You know, not everybody is a mom, but everybody has a mom. It is true. It is true. It's not a Mother's Day message, but I was0:25 inspired by this. It is true that mothers make the world go round. And for those of you who are blessed enough to be with or near0:37 your mom today, walk up to her, give her a huge hug, kiss on both cheeks, and say, I love you. Even if you don't like your mom, even if she's horrible,0:49 give her a kiss on 1 cheek and say, I'm grateful for you. Amen? Amen. So today, what if I told you that there's an approach to life that1:01 affects absolutely everything we do? The way literally that you live your life from the moment that you wake up in the morning to the moment you go to sleep at night, it's God1:12 honoring, it's life changing, it's certainly life improving, and it's eternity preparing. It's a perspective and a practice that enhances1:24 everything about your life, and most of all, it attracts the favor of God and the favor of others. And to our friends down in Florida, to those who are watching online,1:37 even though you're not physically present with us, I trust that the Holy Spirit will still speak to you and touch you through this word this morning. I like to think of this as the ultimate life hack1:49 for happiness. And in a world that is full of emptiness and full of loneliness and discontentedness, this to me is the2:01 thing that can help you to live a life of contentedness because happiness is good. We, you know, we want happiness. It's good to be happy. It's better to be happy than2:12 unhappy. Right? Unless you've had a painful breakup and then you put on the really sad music and there are parts of you that come out that you didn't know existed and you ball. And that's I don't know.2:24 There's something lovely in that too. But more important than happiness to me is contentedness. Because I think you can be unhappy in a situation but2:36 content in your heart. You can be in a job that honestly half the time is quite miserable and if you could choose, it's not the thing you would choose to keep doing,2:48 but you can still have the peace of God and contentedness in you. And what I want to talk about today, to me, the thing to do is to live gratefully.3:00 Amen. We're talking this morning about living gratefully, living a life of gratitude. Now I don't mean simply being thankful. It's not even just saying thank you. It's3:12 easy to do that. You know, even the devil's people can say thank you for something that they receive. I'm talking about living gratefully. That's what we're gonna3:24 work through this morning, and my hope is that you walk out of today with this new perspective that you added to your life because it literally impacts everything. In 1 Thessalonians chapter 53:36 verse 8, the scripture encourages us like this. Give thanks in all circumstances. Why? For this is3:48 the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Give thanks in every circumstance, good, bad, up, down, left, right,4:00 for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. The will of God is that you be grateful all the time. You know,4:12 we're sitting here this morning it sounds so obvious, but we're sitting here this morning in a lovely facility with concert quality sound with some of the best screens.4:25 I'm a very visual person. I basically judge churches by the screens they have or don't have, and I wish I was joking, and by the guitarist if he's using a proper4:36 guitar and what his special effects are like because I play guitar. Yes. I can be that shallow. But my point is, materially, you lack nothing, but much more4:48 importantly, the level of spirituality in this church folks, we are in the presence of God today. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, worship team. Thank you, tech team. Thank you,4:59 leadership. Thank you, service. Thank you, everybody. The people who just even turned the lights on. So much that's that's every circumstance. And Psalm 100 verse5:11 4 says, enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. And they're referencing5:23 here the temple and also the tabernacle. The first court, the first thing, the first place you come into, the first thing you do is thank him. Then when you get into the5:35 inner courts, you praise him. Isn't that interesting that thanks comes before praise? Psalm 9 verse 1, I will give5:46 thanks to the Lord with all my heart. I will recount his wonderful deeds. There's an awareness in the psalmist. It's an5:58 expectation that God has for him, but it's a desire that he has for God that his instinct and his natural instinct and behavior is6:10 to give thanks to God with all of his heart. By the way, in the Hebrew, the Hebrew word for heart means the whole man. It means all of you. It's not6:22 just that, you know, that more emotional thing we think of, oh, I love you with all my heart. Saying that you give thanks with all your heart and you love God with all your heart means that you're you're thanking him6:32 intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically, practically with your body. And so we learn from these 3 verses, just these 3. There are many verses in thanksgiving,6:44 of course, that God delights not just in the praises, but in his people giving thanks. That it is an expectation of the Lord that for those of us who are6:56 found in Christ, that we should be giving thanks in all circumstances. It's beautiful. Now in the bible, if you study the word gratitude, which includes7:08 thanksgiving, but it's more than that, it means when you thank somebody, when you give thanks to God or you give gratitude to somebody, that you're extending favor towards7:20 them or you're giving them grace and kindness. So when somebody does something for you and you say thank you so much, I appreciate that,7:32 You are returning to them kindness and grace and favor. And I would suggest today that in doing that, we are being Christ7:44 like. Because who gives us favor and kindness and grace? Who does that for us all the time, including as I'm standing here and you're sitting there?7:56 It's Jesus. I believe that being grateful and living gratefully is a small but powerful expression of the life and the8:46 time, I'm choosing gratitude. And eventually, if I can put it this way, I become gratitude. I eventually live gratefully.8:57 Living gratefully means establishing habits and behaviors that find natural expression. Meaning that if I change my9:09 thinking and my feeling and my behavior, my acting to constantly live in a state of gratitude, if if I live like that, eventually,9:21 because living flows out of being, it becomes so normal for me to be grateful and all that comes with that that it's just something I9:33 do unconsciously. I'm pretty sure I've told you this before, but maybe you've never heard me speak before and you haven't heard this. It bears repeating. I did it again this morning in the hotel9:45 room. You know, I have this practice which I've had for decades that when I wake up in the morning, whether my wife is awake next to me or whether she's still sleeping, before I do anything else,9:57 I raise my arms. I want to use my body to show the Lord how grateful I am. And the first thing I say is, I love you, Father God. I love you, Lord Jesus. I love10:09 you, Holy Spirit. I thank you, Father, Son, and Spirit, and I praise you, Lord, for new breath and a new day. And then every night, as a practice, I did it10:20 last night, I'll do it again tonight, as I'm drifting off to sleep, actually, before I fall asleep, I raise my hands and I say, I love you, father God. I love you, Lord Jesus. I love you,10:32 Holy Spirit. I thank you, father, son, and spirit, for the day that you've given me today and for all that you taught me. It's so natural for me. Right? It's not a10:44 it's not a have to do. It's a want to do. It's a choose to do. In that sense, I do have to do it because I absolutely love doing it10:56 and I want to. So I start and end my day thanking the Lord because I tell you what, when you live gratefully, 1 of the things you learn to do is to take nothing for granted. Nothing11:09 for granted. And we'll look at that. It's a beautiful thing. So when I when I thank the Lord, right, the scriptures encouraging us to enter his gates with thanksgiving and11:20 thank the Lord in all circumstances, there are several things that are happening. Number 1, when I thank god, I'm acknowledging through that action that there's someone greater than me.11:33 There's someone greater than me that exists and that I believe in him because I'm attributing to him every blessing that I have in my life. I'm also acknowledging11:45 that in every difficulty and struggle, he is present and that he works all things for good for those who love him. Secondly, I'm declaring to11:57 myself, but to anybody else who may see or hear me do that, my thanksgiving, that he knows me well enough and so perfectly that he has worked my life12:08 circumstances or allowed my life circumstances because he's lord of my life in such a way that it's gonna draw me closer to him and that it will12:20 enhance my life and bless me. Thirdly, when I thank God, this is very hard for some people I've discovered, I'm admitting that I12:31 needed help. And that's a healthy place to be. Sometimes when I've chatted with anybody, somebody who said to me,12:43 oh, they're so lonely, you know, nobody cares. And I've learned now over years and years and years as a Christian to ask them, when was the last time that you asked for somebody's12:55 help or you allowed somebody to help you when they offered it? I don't remember. I mean, you know, you can't trust anybody in this world. Now if I13:07 know the person well enough, or depending how the conversation's going, I'll say, listen to your language. I can't trust anybody in the world. Does that13:19 include you? Are you 1 of the people that others can't trust? Of course, when people offer help, sometimes they're doing13:31 it for their own benefit. Of course there are users. You've also used other people, right? Come on, wives, you can nudge your husbands. It's Mother's Day. You13:42 can get away with anything today, ladies. We are all imperfect. But those of us who love Jesus serve a perfect savior who in his perfect13:54 grace enables us and gives us the courage to admit that we need help. Because when somebody does something for me and I receive it, and I return a14:06 kindness by saying thank you, it's like me just saying, I appreciate you stepping in when I couldn't help myself. So here's the14:18 the you know, in every sermon I preach, there's always a line or a thought or a phrase that blows me away when I'm preparing the message. And this is it for this message for me when this came14:30 to me. I believe that living gratefully and being grateful is ultimately an act of worship. If the bible says14:42 in all circumstances, give thanks, and I'm doing that as an act of obedience to a God I love and whose word I trust,14:54 if I'm entering his gates with thanksgiving, in other words, I'm acknowledging before I even ask him for anything, I'm saying thank you for what you've already done for me, to me that15:06 is an act of worship. It's me acknowledging, God, you're not only you're great and not only do you love me perfectly, you have involved myself yourself in my life15:18 in such a way that you've taken care of me before I even asked you for anything. I used to travel a lot to Eastern Europe, particularly to15:29 Bulgaria. I've probably been there 26 times over the years. And I was going mostly to work with up and coming young leaders, 18, 28, 30, and15:41 these were pastors, missionaries, business leaders, etcetera, etcetera. And, you know, they had come out of 900 years of occupation, of oppression of some sort. This was a few15:53 years ago. And so the generation, which is my generation, but particularly the 1 that comes after it, are having a completely different experience with the kingdom of God and with the church that their parents16:05 and grandparents did. The church tended to be a little bit like the government was. It was a little bit overbearing, quite oppressive, controlling, whatever. And as the holy spirit would16:17 bring freedom to the next 2 generations, I had prepared a message. It was like, you know, 5 things that every church leader should know, something like that. And just before I got up16:29 to speak, the holy spirit said to me, tell them about your dad. Tell them about your upbringing. Tell them16:41 about the abuse at sexual abuse at schools. I want you to talk about your brokenness. Just talk about your just like that. And, you know, there are times when you know that16:52 God has spoken a word, and so I kind of you know, I had my we didn't have iPads in those days. I had my paper notes, and I pretended like I was reading from my notes. But I was actually looking down, panicking, going,17:04 what do I say now, holy spirit, in my heart? And and and the Lord was like, tell them details. Tell them the truth. Anyway, the meeting started at 7. I think we finished at17:16 about quarter to 1 in the morning because afterwards, almost everybody came forward. And, you know, I explained to them how you have to forgive your parents and17:27 your grandparents and and think of the brokenness they came out of. Most of the time, they didn't know what they were doing because of what had been done to them, etcetera, etcetera. It was just, you know anyway, the17:39 reason I'm telling you this is that there was such a move of God, and most of the people up front were men, which is totally uncommon. Men just do17:51 not cry in those cultures. You know, you're you're Eastern European, you've been taught that that men just do not cry. And in public, and you're a church leader,18:03 what if your congregants knew that you were all that nonsense. Right? Anyway, I'm exhausted. I'm tired. The room I was staying in had a hole18:15 in the wall, and the loud American pastor somewhere from the south, God bless them, with his wife, was next door to me, and they would not stop talking.18:28 And I was like, please, father, can I am I allowed to ask you, Jesus, to shut up 1 of your people because I need to sleep? Is that is that allowed? Is that a kingdom18:40 thing? Anyway and then I got on my knees, and I I just started to cry. Not loudly, just gently. It was such a gorgeous moment. And it was18:52 a supernatural experience. It was almost like I was taken into the heavens. And I remember lifting my arms, and then I started to smile, and I said, Lord, I thank you19:04 for everything that I went through as a child and as a young man, and the years of pain and confusion and19:15 mistrust and anger, I thank you for all of that, Lord, genuinely that you trusted me with or you kept me through that,19:27 but that you chose to bring me through that because tonight, I saw you through that story literally, physically, spiritually, mentally changing19:39 destinies. Thank you, Lord. And I said this, I would do it again knowing what I know today. And for me personally,19:51 I've always since I was saved, I've always found it very easily to easy to show gratitude to the Lord. That was the night that I20:02 transitioned from a place of just being grateful to living gratefully because that night I understood profoundly through an act of the holy20:14 spirit that everything good comes from God. And that there are thousands of opportunities every day20:26 to thank the lord. And so what happens to you when you begin to live gratefully, number 1, you become more humble. You do. You just become more humble.20:37 Pride kind of gets pushed aside because it forces you to look outside of yourself. And humility always attracts the favor of God. So it's like this20:50 wonderful cycle, this virtuous cycle that happens, you know. The more humble you are, the more God favors you. The more God favors you, the more you desire to be humble. Not because it's, you know, it's not playing the21:01 lottery. It's not a trick. It's a spiritual thing that just happens within you. You also number 2, you become more self aware. Because when you're focusing on21:13 the goodness of God coming to you, it helps you to better understand when you are selfish. You become more self aware. Suddenly, you realize, you know, I I should have21:25 said thank you, and I didn't. I was a banana. I was arrogant. I was conceited. You know what in the deepest part of me? I think I thought that I'm better than21:37 that person or that they shouldn't have done such and such. Number 3, when you are grateful consistently, you see a change in the hearts of others,21:50 especially ungrateful people. And you know, with my sense of humor, I have to be careful not to use the blessings of God as a punishment to other bananas. Anyway, but you22:01 change the hard hearts of people. Number 4, you bring glory to God and good to others. Friends, this is the Christian existence.22:14 Bring glory to God and bring good to others because of the love of God in your life. That's it. That's the Christian coin. Glory to God,22:25 good to others. And when you show gratitude, because of the way it changes your perspective and you become other centered instead of self centered, so it's much easier to serve22:37 others, to help others, to bless others. And then number 5, gratitude expands your capacity to live life to its fullest. Because you know what? Like the story I22:49 shared briefly briefly earlier, if I'm grateful in all circumstances for everything that God allows and then works through makes me more23:01 Christ like through whatever that difficulty may be, or it's just a life full of blessing. No matter what happens, I begin to enjoy life more fully and to live23:13 an abundant life because I'm coming from a perspective of gratitude. And then number 6, gratitude unlocks unlocks faith and possibility.23:25 Because when I'm grateful and I'm focused on Christ and I'm focused on others, you know what happens is that suddenly I find that I just have more faith. I have more trust in23:37 God. I have more trust in people because I want the best for them. And what that does is that the Holy Spirit begins to whisper in your ear. It's23:49 possible. You can. That situation is not something you can never overcome. You can overcome that. You can climb that mountain. You can swim24:01 that ocean. It's possible that heart can change. Now the opposite of gratitude is obviously any gratitude or being24:12 ungrateful. And this is let me give you a few easy ways and then we're gonna have a bit of a chuckle, I hope. It's a very clever thing I got this morning in the24:24 shower and it'll either work or I'll never be invited back again. So please laugh and then email pastor Tim and say, that was really funny. You should have him back again. Here24:36 are a few ways how you can tell if you personally are being ungrateful, right, or somebody that you're interacting with clearly is not living a lifestyle of gratitude.24:49 Typically, gratitude is associated with humility. Ingratitude or ungratefulness is the opposite. It's associated with arrogance.25:01 And often the way arrogance manifests is, well, I deserve it. I deserve such and such. I mean, I don't know why they would say no to me.25:13 Don't they know who I am? Underlying ungratefulness is an idea that the world should serve you and come to you instead of you25:25 doing the opposite. And you know, when when you're ungrateful, when you're not appreciative, when you're not thankful for the things that you have in your life, that opens the door25:37 to a life of misery and unhappiness. Right? And you know who are experts at this? The Italians and the25:49 Irish. I was speaking to somebody Irish earlier on and we agreed on this. This is why I'm including the Irish. I was just gonna say Italians. I'm26:01 full blooded Italian. Was raised the first 20 years of my not knowing Jesus life in a typical Italian home. So who of you have had this experience? Real life26:12 experience. Your mother cooks for 5 hours. Right? You come home from school, work, whatever. You walk in. Fresh rolls made that day.26:24 You have 2 before dinner. You have a perfect, plate of soup or pasta. You have a perfect roast, whether it's chicken or meat or whatever. The cheese is on the26:36 table, the whole deal, and you're shoveling that pasta into your mouth, handmade sauce, real sauce, you know, lasagna made by hand, dried26:48 over the living room chairs and tables for 2 days. You can't sit there. Don't touch the pasta, The whole story. Right. I mean, it's perfect. And then your dad goes,27:01 it just needs a bit more salt. Right? Today, I'd strangle him. I mean, then revive him and say, give your life to Jesus. But just like, what? So never27:13 mind the 99.999999 perfection. There's always that there's always that thing. And how to tell you're ungrateful, I27:25 call it the but factor. I think I smell a but coming. Right? La27:36 la la la la, but. The vacation was great, but. The meal was perfect, but I really like their kids. Oh, man. They're like27:48 little angels, but just always that little bit of judgment or that little bit of dissatisfaction, and it keeps you from fully28:00 enjoying what you should be enjoying just for what it is. The most beautiful example of gratitude for me in the bible is from Jesus, our28:12 lord and savior. In Matthew 26 26 and 27, it says, while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it28:24 to his disciples saying, take and eat. This is my body. Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them saying, drink from it all of you. So28:36 bear in mind that Jesus at the last supper, breaking the bread, handing over the wine, profoundly understands28:48 because he knew what Isaiah 53 said, that this was going to be his body broken and his bloodshed just a few hours from now. And in spite of that,29:00 he gives thanks to God. In the most significant and important moment of his life, him going to the cross was the most significant moment29:12 for us. Him praying in the garden and being at the last supper were very powerful and important moments for him because at both those occasions, he could have29:23 chosen to not go forward with the cross. They're all tied together. And so what this story story illustrates for us, this account, is that Jesus lived in such a29:35 state of permanent and and full gratitude that in spite of the trauma that was ahead of him by the way, which was only for the benefit29:47 of his friends at the table and then for us sitting here this morning, the cross wasn't a benefit for him. And that's what gratitude does. So Jesus shows us29:59 in his own example that when you live gratefully, you are able to handle whatever life throws your way. Let me say that again. When you're living gratefully,30:11 you see God in everything, and you are able to handle and work through whatever life throws your way. So how do we do this? Okay. Couple of minutes, we'll be finished.30:23 Let me give you some practical tips. You can live in a permanent state of gratitude, number 1, by focusing on what you already have. Focusing on what you already have. Here's something I30:35 do every once in a while, at least twice a month. I will go as I'm walking through my house, I'm thanking God, of course, first of all, for my wife,30:47 but aside from the people, I'm thanking God for my guitars, for my technology because I enjoy both, for my camera, cause it enables me to capture memories which I can look at for30:58 years to come. And then for my clothes, my couch, etcetera etcetera. Because I'll tell you what that does, it reminds you of how much you actually have. Right?31:11 The next time you're at the store and you look at whoever you're with and say, look at that vase. I need another blue vase. And they say, but you have 83. And31:22 when you die, we're giving them all to the city mission because we can't sell them because they're so ugly and nobody's going to want them and we don't have the room. It helps you to just be31:34 content with what you already have. Secondly, remind yourself that there are way too many other people on earth who don't31:46 have and never will have what you have. This past week, my wife and I were down in Miami with our son and his wife and our brand new31:57 grandson, number 4, Marko. And so we were there to help. Thank you. You're very kind. And every day every day, somewhere in the day, I32:09 said to him or to my wife, we're we're in Miami. I know it's a bit of a crazy town, but like we're on the beach with our 2 year old grandson and I just32:21 looked I paused and I said to her, I just swam in the ocean with my grandson in my arms in warm water.32:33 Wow. You know, and she looked at me like, and? You know, she knows what I was saying. Wow. And then later that day, we're eating together. You know, it's32:45 chaos, new baby, little kid running around. And I was like, we're We're together. And I said, do you32:56 know that there are billions of people who can't say those words today? Let alone being together, loving each other and enjoying each other and helping and etcetera, etcetera,33:08 etcetera. And then I said to my wife, do you realize what a privilege you have to change the baby's diaper every time so that I don't have to? Do you realize what an what an33:20 honor? No. Okay. So number 3, you can choose gratitude. You can choose gratefulness. It is man, if you remember33:32 nothing else, living gratefully is a choice. You choose to be grateful or to do the but thing. It is a choice. And every33:44 time you choose it, number 4, you begin to make it a habit. And suddenly you find yourself not just saying thank you, but in your mind, you're driving to work. Like when I was33:55 driving here, no exaggeration, it's a 3 hour drive from where I live in upstate New York, and I'm Lord, these trees are so beautiful. Thank you.34:07 I could have been driving through a desert, although that's beautiful too. But I I'm listening to stuff in the car. Thank you. I'm playing worship music. Thank you.34:20 I'm watching a YouTube video. Not watching, it's on the side. In case there are any police officers here. Just, you know, it's so you know, I can here's what I'm saying to you. I34:32 feel it now. It's literally a feeling of gratitude. I don't have to say the words out loud every time, but I am in my mind, I'm thinking it,34:43 I'm feeling it. It has become such a habit. There's this wonderful verse in the bible that says, love covers over a multitude of34:55 sins. Right? When you love somebody, love covers over they can sin against you again and again and again, but because you love them, it covers those sins. I believe that in a similar way,35:07 gratefulness covers a multitude of selfishness. Whether it's in yourself or somebody else who's being selfish, their35:18 selfishness does not determine my gratitude. Somebody else's unkindness does not make me less grateful because my gratitude, remember,35:30 is for the glory of God and for the good of others. And I want to be living constantly in such a state of gratitude, a permanent life of gratitude, that it doesn't35:42 matter what circumstances. The first verse we read, in all circumstances, give thanks to God, that is so natural for me to do that because ultimately, only God knows35:54 what's really in my heart and my mind. Right? And I have to answer to him 1 day, and I would rather enter heaven even in heaven saying, thank36:06 you, Lord. And him saying, I remember you said it to me 10800262 times. Well done. So you how36:18 do you begin your gratitude journey? Begin today by looking by looking for things to thank God for. And can I suggest something? As we have a time of worship when we close this morning, even before you walk36:29 out of this building, thank god for this church. The crazy stuff that is happening in some churches in America. Right? I mean,36:41 lunatic stuff. There's some pastors who should be in prison, baby. Like, I don't know, just wild stuff in the name of Jesus. Thank God that you have a mostly36:53 normal pastor. I mean, no, very normal. No. Thank God for Tim and for Cheryl and for the leadership team and for the37:05 for the facilities, for the work that you're doing. I I promise you, Warders Church, please believe me when I tell you this, I promise you, you are blessed37:17 beyond what you can imagine, what you know. It's it's so rare to have something to have a kingdom culture that's so healthy. And then secondly, align your attitude, emotions,37:29 and actions. What I mean is think gratefully. Yes. Oh, sorry. I thought you were asking me a question. Think gratefully, feel gratefully,37:41 and act gratefully. And can I tell you, for those of you who are going to go from church this morning and go and have a donut and a coffee or go to a restaurant, tip generously?37:54 Tip generously. You have I don't know. You don't know. That person who's serving you, I think you can assume38:06 that 7 out of 10, let's pick a number, need money. And yes, it's their job, and yes, this is what they chose to do, but they literally served38:18 you. And especially if they served you well, be grateful and show your gratitude and tip the it's just anytime somebody does anything that benefits38:30 you, take a moment and say, thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And so remember that true gratitude is an act of worship. It's38:42 something that when you do it, makes you more Christ like, and it gives God glory. And can I say if you're somebody who struggles today with saying38:54 thank you, so what? It's okay. People have all sorts of different kinds of struggles. The Holy Spirit is able, more than able to help you39:06 to grow in that area of your life, and it begins with intentionality. Wake up every morning thanking the Lord, go to sleep thanking the Lord, and during the day, look39:17 for opportunities. When you walk out of here this morning, find somebody to say thank you to and add not just thank you. I appreciate what you're doing. I see39:29 what you do. You know, if you didn't do what you do, our in any church, people who serve in children's church, I did it last week in our church, oh my39:41 word. They deserve a thank you and a check from everybody in this church. Amen? Alright. Please, why you stand with me? I'd like to pray for us.39:54 Just raise 1 of your hands to heaven as a sign of humility. Father, in Jesus name, by the power of your spirit, I thank you for Waters Church.Show more
