Thanksgiving

Psalm 92:1

Read text: Ps. 92:1

This Thursday, we in America will celebrate a holiday tradition that began when the first European settlers came to this country nearly 400 years ago. The setting aside of a time to thank God is an important part of our national life and spiritual heritage.

As we contemplate this practice and examine scripture, we see both the command of God to be thankful and the benefits of the practice of thanksgiving. Being thankful will cure our depression, increase our joy, it will boost our faith, encourage others, and it will bring joy unto God. Consider with me this morning just a few of the things for which we should be thankful.

I. We Ought To Be Thankful For Our Salvation.

II. We Ought To Be Thankful For Our Family.

III. We Ought To Be Thankful For Our Local Church.

Thanksgiving is a time when we ought to reflect upon God's goodness and His grace. Are our lives characterized by thankfulness? Have we thanked God for our salvation, for our families, and our church?

Perhaps you are here this morning, and you don't know the blessedness of salvation through Christ, you need to come.

Maybe you are here and you haven't shown your thankfulness to your family, as you should, you need to come.

What about this church? Do you need to get involved is serving God through this ministry? Have you been faithful?

Don't Take The Blessings Of God For Granted ... Be Thankful!
