Wisdom of Giving Thanks (Thanksgiving 2022)

 
 


Opening: Gratitude determines the path of life.

I. UNGRATEFULNESS LEADS TO SIN

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (v.17)

 

“Whatever you do”

II. WE NEED TRAINING ON CULTIVATING GRATEFULNESS

Cultivating gratefulness vs. Consuming gratefulness

 

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” (v.16)

III. THE HABIT OF GRATEFULNESS BRINGS ABUNDANCE

Multiplies through thanksgiving

 

Grace > Giving thanks > Grace > Giving thanks

Closing: God pours out more reasons to be grateful to those who are already grateful in life.
