11/23/2025 Guard your Heart With Gratitude Pastor Roman Krywyn

Pastor Roman Krywyn breaks down Romans 1:21 to reveal the spiritual consequence of an unthankful heart:

“For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

What you will learn:

1. The Sin of Ingratitude: How humanity possesses a general knowledge of God (Romans 1:20) and why refusing to glorify Him is a rejection of His glory.

2. The Descent into Darkness: Understanding "futile thinking" as meaningless, self-centered intellectual pursuits built on a false foundation.

3. A Heart Primed for Ruin: We explore the story of Cain (Genesis 4) to see how an unthankful heart becomes susceptible to destructive impulses—where sin is "crouching at the door."

4. The Glorious Alternative: The only escape from this cycle of blindness is through the ultimate humility of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Discover how grace makes true gratitude possible and how to guard your soul by acknowledging your radical dependence on the Creator.
