🕊️ Breath for the Soul: Living in Joy, Prayer, and Gratitude | 1 Thessalonians 5:16 –18 Sermon

Are you trying to run the race of faith, while holding your breath?

In this powerful message, we explore the spiritual oxygen found in three simple, life-giving rhythms:
🙌 Rejoicing always
🙏 Praying constantly
💛 Giving thanks in everything

Straight from 1 Thessalonians 5:16 –18, the Apostle Paul gives us more than spiritual advice—he offers **God’s will for every believer**. These aren’t religious checkboxes, but daily rhythms that help us thrive in Christ.

Drawing from the teachings and example of Jesus, and stories like Job, Paul & Silas, and the early church, this message shows how a rejoicing heart, a praying spirit, and a thankful soul will keep you moving forward—no matter your season.

Learn how to:

✅Rejoice in hardship—not because it’s easy, but because God is faithful
✅Cultivate unbroken prayer as a lifestyle, not just a lifeline
✅Give thanks in everything, not for everything—and discover the power of gratitude in adversity

Whether you’re walking through difficulty, spiritual dryness, or simply seeking deeper connection with God—this message is a timely breath of fresh air.
