As we come to the Table, God has some concerns. Believers have tended to come here and miss the importance of unity, memory, and handling this in a way that is just worthy of what has been done for us. It is easy to come to this table and think it is all about me, all about me and God. No, it is not. It is much more about you and the church family together with God.

Two weeks ago we said the first step to the best holiday or Thanksgiving ever was confess. Step two takes us from confess to bless. So we have confess, bless, and now our third step, and you are trying to think of what rhymes, right, thankfulness. If we forget to acknowledge God, and that is thankfulness, if we forget we begin to take credit for all that God has done and provided for us.

Well as we start gearing up for Thanksgiving and this season, I want to do a three-week series that I pray will put us all in a place to have our best thanksgiving ever. We can’t control all of our family, or who will win the game, or a host of other things that make life good or bad; but we can set ourselves up for the best thanksgiving ever. And would you believe it is three pretty simple ideas. They will be things you can do before each Sunday ends.

When I say work, we’re not talking about working our way to heaven, for Christ has done that work, and it is only His work that will bring us safely, joyously into heaven. But when I say, work, I am talking about the activity of a Christ-follower. And reaching and coaching might well sum up that work.

We cannot move up the vertical toward God and remain at the bottom in the horizontal. We cannot truly build the relationships with others to what they should be without deepening our relationship with God. It is all about connecting with God and connecting with others. It is about serving – as something done for the Lord and not for people.
