As followers of Jesus we're not just to thank God — but to tell others why!

When we fail to be thankful for what Jesus does in our lives, it can cause us to be forgetful, ungrateful, and unhelpful! Think about it. God's gracious acts slip from our memory because we just move on to the next thing without pausing to express thanks. We can also slip into entitlement, taking God's grace for granted, becoming ungrateful for all He's done. Plus, we remain unhelpful to others — because when they don't hear our God-stories, their faith doesn't have a chance to grow.

This is why the Prophet Isaiah said: "Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done, and proclaim that His name is exalted" (Is. 12:4).

So that's what we're doing today. We're hearing from several people in our church family — from different generations, genders and language groups — about what God has done in their stories during 2024. These stories will not only stir faith in your heart, but cause you to remember how God has worked in your life as well!

The Christmas story is punctuated by those who proclaimed God is with us, for us, in us, and like us! But this didn't begin when the angels showed up to the shepherds. It started centuries before when the prophets declared the Messiah — the Christ — was coming. Today we're looking at what those prophets actually said, and how what they foretold came to be. And we're reminded that just "knowing" prophetic truths isn't what's important; what's critical is that our lives would be transformed by Jesus!
