Rejoice, Praise, Give Thanks

Oct 4, 2026  •  Pastor Tom McMahon

In this sermon, Pastor Tom takes us through Paul’s powerful words in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18:

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”


These three simple instructions—rejoice, pray, and give thanks—are not merely suggestions for the Christian life. They are practical ways we can live out our faith every day, regardless of our circumstances.


We explores what Paul meant when he wrote these words and challenges us to consider how we can put them into practice in our own lives. How can we choose joy when life is difficult? What does it look like to continually pray? And how can we develop a heart of gratitude even in challenging circumstances?


Join us as we discover how these timeless words from Scripture can transform our perspective, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to God.
