Living A Life Of Thanksgiving To God 1

Pastor Charles Cowan delivers a powerful message on living a life of continual thanksgiving to God in this episode of the Victorious Living Podcast. He emphasizes that thanksgiving is not reserved for special occasions like Thanksgiving Day or mealtime blessings, but should be a daily, intentional practice rooted in who God is and what He has done through Christ. Drawing from multiple scriptures—including Colossians, Philippians, Hebrews, and 1 Thessalonians—Pastor Cowan teaches that thanksgiving is a divine command and a spiritual sacrifice that flows from the heart. He distinguishes between the Old Testament sacrificial system and the New Testament call to offer 'the sacrifice of praise' continually through our words and lives. The sermon also explores the nature of God’s law, contrasting the law of Moses—which could not provide pardon—with the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, which brings freedom, forgiveness, and the ability to live in gratitude. The message calls believers to move beyond reactive thanksgiving during crises and instead cultivate a posture of daily, unwavering gratitude as a reflection of faith and obedience.
