Expository Sermons
About this episode

In this sermon, John MacArthur examines 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where Paul instructs believers to "In everything give thanks." MacArthur emphasizes that gratitude should be a constant aspect of the Christian life, regardless of circumstances. He contrasts this with the ungratefulness characteristic of unbelievers, highlighting that thankfulness is a distinguishing mark of believers. By recognizing God's sovereignty and His work in all situations, Christians are called to express gratitude in every circumstance
