About this sermon
How do you become a grateful person? In this reflection on Psalm 103, John Ortberg explores one of the great themes of spiritual life: gratitude. At the center of Psalm 103 is a simple command: "Forget not all His benefits." Drawing from philosopher Robert C. Roberts and the rich imagery of the Psalm itself, John explores why gratitude grows through remembering and why forgetting often leads to entitlement. This episode explores: - Psalm 103 and gratitude - The meaning of the soul - The logic of gratitude - God's forgiveness and compassion - Remembering God's benefits - Gratitude as a spiritual practice Scriptures: - Psalm 103 - Luke 7 - Deuteronomy 6 - Leviticus 19 #Psalm103 #JohnOrtberg #Gratitude #Thankfulness #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Psalms #Soul 📚 Today's Resources: Robert C.
