Thanksgiving Children and Youth Sermon - "Thanks Leads to Giving"

This sermon/message reminds us that true thanksgiving isn’t just about saying “thank you,” but showing our gratitude through giving. When we are thankful, it naturally leads us to be generous—sharing what we have with others. Science even shows that gratitude makes our hearts more joyful and ready to give. The Bible teaches that generosity pleases God and helps others, and Jesus said that when we serve people in need, it’s like doing it for Him. So, as we move from Thanksgiving into Christmas, we’re reminded that being thankful leads to giving, joy, and blessings for everyone.

Scriptures used - 2 Corinthians 9:1-15 - Generosity Encouraged
