A BETTER THANKSGIVING

Sunday, November 20th 2022

Ecclesiastes 4:6 Better is one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil, a chasing after the wind.

Psalm 84:1-2 How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Psalm 84:10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

HOW DO WE DEVELOP AN ONGOING, UNENDING RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD:

  1. CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH GOD
  2. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually,

    1. INSTANT OBEDIENCE TO GOD
    2. Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

      Romans 5:17-19 For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ. 18 Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.

      1. A RENEWED DESPERATION FOR GOD.
      2. Psalm 84:1 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

        Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

        Psalm 63:1-3 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
