Gratitude – Fruit, Not Formula | Stand Alone Sermon | Colossians 3:15–17

In this message, we discover that gratitude is not something we manufacture, but the natural fruit of lives ruled by Christ’s peace, filled with His Word, and shaped by His name. Paul shows us how reconciliation with God brings deep peace that flows into our relationships and daily living. As Christ’s Word dwells richly in us — through teaching, correction, and worship — our hearts are formed to give thanks. Living in Jesus’ name reminds us that every moment belongs to Him, shaping how we speak, act, and respond. Gratitude becomes the overflow of gospel-shaped identity rather than a forced habit.
