Thank You (No Matter What)
By: Troy Burns
Series: Standalone
Through a Thanksgiving-related message, Troy reminds us of the importance of keeping our sense of gratitude in any and all of our life situations. The foundation of a thankful heart lies in who God is, not in our circumstances, because they always change, but God never changes. Our circumstances are not always good, but God is always good.

Thankfully, we still have that hope for our lives right now and forever.

God’s will is already being worked out in the life of the church, even when outwardly it appears defeated.
