Broken and Grateful — Week 3: Gratitude & Generosity

When gratitude fills your heart, generosity flows from your hands.

In this message, we explore how true gratitude never stays internal—it naturally spills outward in generosity, service, and surrendered living. Anchored by the hymn Take My Life and Let It Be, we’re invited to consider what it really means to offer our whole lives back to God as an act of worship.

Through 2 Corinthians 9:6–11 and Romans 12:1, we look at how God shapes our hearts toward open-handed living. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling; it’s a posture. It’s the shift from “this is mine” to “this is Yours, God.” Generosity becomes the visible evidence of a grateful heart.

The message challenges us to confront the tight grip we sometimes keep on our time, resources, and abilities—reminding us that everything we have is a gift meant to be stewarded, not stored. When we recognize the mercy we’ve received, surrender becomes our natural response, and generosity becomes our everyday practice.

Big Idea: Gratitude naturally overflows in generosity and service.

✨ Broken and Grateful is a series about finding faith and thankfulness even when life feels fractured—and learning how grace reshapes our hands as much as our hearts.
