The Gospel for Life

We are now on the other side of Thanksgiving and we want to do one final show that deals with Thanksgiving
Opening Verses:
▪ Hebrews 12:28 “Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer
to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe.”
▪ Psalm 103:1-5 – “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O
my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems
your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your
youth is renewed like the eagle's.”

1. How does thankfulness/rejoicing/gratefulness/blessing the Lord relate to other aspects of our faith and life?
2. Dangers of ingratitude?
3. Relate this discussion to Deuteronomy 8:11-20
4. Now to Romans 1:21

Today we will be talking about thankfulness
▪ Not just because Thanksgiving is tomorrow, but because it a commanded aspect of our lives
Consider the verse: 1 Thess. 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
1. As basic as this question is, I think it’s important to ask: what does it mean to give thanks to God?
2. Why is giving thanks to God so significant that He says this is His will for our lives?
3. Paul (God) doesn’t really mean “all” in these verses does he?
4. How does the surrounding context relate to “give thanks in all circumstances”?
Let’s read and talk through some other pertinent verses dealing with this topic
▪ Colossians 3:17 “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.”
▪ Colossians 2:6-7 “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him
and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving
▪ Philippians 4:6 “...do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
5. It seems like we might underemphasize the importance of thankfulness in the Christian life. Why is it so
important? What practical insights would you give to help foster a spirit of thankfulness?
