Sometimes gratitude begins by simply stopping long enough to notice.

In the middle of busy schedules, responsibilities, and concerns, it's easy to move from one thing to the next without pausing to recognize how God has already blessed us.

This Thankful Thursday, take a moment to pause. Look around. Remember His goodness. Then give Him thanks—not just for what He's done, but for who He is.

Before you keep scrolling, what is one thing you can thank God for right now?

Sermon Title: Embracing Authority, Forgiveness and Healing

Main Scripture: Matthew 9:1–8

Supporting Scriptures: Jeremiah 31:1–5; Colossians 1:12–14; Isaiah 53:4; Mark 2; Luke 5; Hebrews 4:16; Psalm 103:1–5

In Matthew 9:1–8, we encounter a paralyzed man who could not get to Jesus under his own power. But he was not alone. Friends and family carried him, pressed through the obstacles, and refused to allow the crowd to keep him from reaching Jesus. Their determination was more than persistence—it was faith in action.

Coming to Jesus in times of need is an act of faith. Coming to Jesus with expectation is an act of faith. Coming to Jesus without concern for who may see us or who may not approve is an act of faith, hope and trust in God.

When Jesus saw their faith, He looked at the man and said, “Do not be afraid, son; your sins are forgiven.” Before addressing his physical condition, Jesus addressed something deeper. He offered reassurance, relationship and forgiveness. By calling him “son,” Jesus affirmed the close and personal relationship made possible by faith through grace.

The scribes questioned Jesus in their hearts, but Jesus knew their thoughts. He demonstrated that His authority was not limited to physical healing. He had authority to forgive sins and authority to restore the body.

Then Jesus told the man to get up, pick up his bed, and go home.

The man who had been carried to Jesus was now able to carry what had once carried him.

What a testimony of the transforming power of God.

God does not simply meet us in our broken places and leave us there. Through Christ, there is forgiveness for our sins, healing for our wounds, strength for our weakness, and hope for our future. What once represented our limitation can become evidence of what God has done.

And sometimes, we are called to be the friends who carry. Someone around us may not have the strength to make the journey alone. Our prayers, encouragement, persistence, compassion and active faith may help bring another person closer to the One who can make them whole.

As Psalm 103 reminds us, we serve the God “who forgives all your sins” and “heals all your diseases.” Let us not forget His benefits.

What are you trusting Jesus to forgive, heal, restore or strengthen in your life today?

And consider this: Is there someone God may be calling you to help carry through prayer, encouragement or action?

Share your reflection or testimony in the comments. Your story of what God has done may be the encouragement someone else needs to keep pressing toward Jesus.

A grateful heart can begin before our feet ever hit the floor.

Before we think about what needs to be done, what needs to be fixed, or what we need from God, we can begin by remembering His goodness.

This Thankful Thursday, make gratitude your first response. Pause and thank God for another day, another opportunity, and another reminder that He is with you.

What is one thing you're thanking God for as you begin today?

Sermon Title: Lord, I Believe
Main Scripture: John 9:35–41
Supporting Scriptures: Isaiah 5:18–23; Romans 2:19–22; John 9:1–34; John 8:12; Isaiah 35:5

In John 9, Jesus encounters a man who had been blind from birth. The disciples saw his blindness and wondered who was responsible for it. Jesus saw something different: an opportunity for the works of God to be revealed.

Jesus noticed a man whom others had learned to pass by.

After Jesus gave him sight, the man's life changed—but his miracle did not make his journey easy. His neighbors questioned him. The Pharisees interrogated him. His parents were afraid to become involved. Religious leaders challenged his testimony and ultimately threw him out of the synagogue.

Yet the man held tightly to what he knew: “Though I was blind, now I see.”

His testimony could not be argued away because he had experienced the transforming power of Jesus for himself.

As the man's physical eyes were opened, his spiritual understanding began to grow. Jesus went from being “the man called Jesus,” to a prophet, to One who must be from God. Then, after the man had been rejected and cast out, Jesus sought him out.

That moment reveals something powerful about our Savior: Jesus knew where he was.

The same Jesus who noticed him while he sat blind also knew where to find him when rejection left him alone. Jesus found him and asked whether he believed in the Son of Man. When Jesus revealed Himself, the man's journey reached its greatest moment—not when his physical eyes were opened, but when his spiritual eyes recognized his Savior.

“Lord, I believe.” And he worshipped Him.

We may experience seasons when others misunderstand our testimony, question what God has done, reject us, or refuse to acknowledge the truth standing before them. But people cannot erase what God has done in our lives.

Jesus still sees us. Jesus still knows where we are. Jesus still seeks us. And when He opens our eyes to who He truly is, our response should be one of faith, obedience, worship, and testimony.

May our prayer be simple and sincere:

Lord, I believe. Help me to see clearly, follow obediently, and live so that Your glory may be revealed through me.

What has Jesus done in your life that no one can argue away?

Maybe He brought you through a season you thought would break you. Maybe He opened your eyes to something you could not see before. Maybe He found you when you felt rejected, forgotten, or alone.

Take a moment today to remember what you know God has done—and give Him praise for it.

If you can say, “Lord, I believe,” share your testimony or simply declare “I believe” in the comments.
