At Ninth Avenue Church, we are focusing on cultivating a heart of thankfulness, particularly for God's presence in our lives. From the beginning of creation, God has always desired to be with His people, and His presence is a source of immense joy, peace, confidence, and unconditional love. By understanding and appreciating God's presence, we can face life's challenges with assurance and strength. To truly embrace this, we must invest in our relationship with God through daily prayer, worship, and journaling. These practices help us stay connected to God and recognize His active presence in our lives, leading to a life filled with gratitude and peace.
