Main Idea

The central theme of the sermon was the importance of recognizing and remembering God's faithfulness through tangible acts such as placing stones of gratitude. We learned that these stones serve not just as physical reminders of God's promises but also as a directive to share our testimonies with future generations. The act of recalling God's past actions in our lives allows us to build a legacy of faith, encouraging our children and communities to recognize God's work in and around them. By celebrating God's faithfulness and placing these memorials, we actively participate in kingdom building, ensuring that our gratitude is not lost but instead passed down.
