PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER

Mary Danielsen welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel of Hope in Amityville, NY.  Pastor Claude is one of the best expositors of the entire counsel of Scripture, looking at God's Word in a balanced and detailed lens to help the Christian grow in their faith and in their knowledge of their Saviour. Today we talk about "thanksgiving" - not in a head knowledge way, as a cliche, or a superficial way, but in the very lifestyle that is built upon a heart filled to overflowing with gratitude for what God has done for us. Being thankful is God's will for us - and it is a tremendous witness to a lost and dying world. We should be people of praise and filled with joy even during the darkest hours, because God is good above all (Psalm 107). We will look at Romans 1, where Paul makes a charge that part of the downgrade of mankind is because he lacks gratitude. What a powerful verse that is! We also address anxiety and the place of gratitude in counteracting the negative things we tend to dwell on. Thanksgiving is everyone's favorite holiday, so let's "set the table" of our walk with the Lord being people who are thankful above all.  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.

Pastor Claude's bible commentaries are available here.
