It is important that we recognize the many things we have to be thankful for. But it is also important that we allow this sense of gratitude to impact how we conduct ourselves. So in this short series, we are going to be discussing how we conduct ourselves with gratitude. In this first lesson, we will discuss how we serve God with gratitude.

Noah lived during a time of great wickedness and violence. Our days are becoming increasingly like this. And also like Noah, we need to be prepared for God's judgment. We can be saved like Noah – by grace through faith as we obey the Lord.

In this series, we are looking at some big words in the Bible. All of them are “big” in terms of importance; but for some of them, we may be unsure of what they mean.

Paul instructed the church in Ephesus to be “diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit.” He then went on to explain the basis for this unity. Our unity must be based upon this same foundation. Paul mentioned seven “ones” that provided the foundation for unity. If we want to know how we can have unity, this is a good place to start.

When Paul wrote the first letter to the Corinthians, there were many problems he needed to address. When he wrote the second letter, they had definitely made some improvements. However, there were still issues that threatened the health of the church. Toward the end of the second letter, he described some things that would destroy a congregation. It is important that we consider these, even if we are not currently experiencing these problems. If they ever do arise, we want to be able to address them as quickly as possible.

When Jesus lived on the earth, He was the son of a carpenter. To the people in His hometown, that was all He was. We recognize Him first as the Son of God. Yet being raised in a carpenter’s home was not random. Carpenters make, build, and prepare things for others to use – even places for them to live. Jesus was involved in this sort of work long before He was born in a carpenter’s household, and He continued this type of work after His death. In this lesson, we are going to notice a few things Jesus made.
