Crushing Idols (Ephesians 5:1-5)

At the very of sin in idolatry, misdirected worship. Our hearts tend toward idolatry because we have a forgetfulness of who God is and what he has done for us. Thankfulness combats idolatry. In fact, thankfulness is a mark of belief, while unthankfulness marks unbelief.

Where Are The . . . (Luke 17:11-19)

Being thankful ought to mark us a believers, but being thankful has a certain look. It is humble, prompt, and without a hint of arrogant entitlement. From this text we can see how a leper shows us this truth by centering thankfulness on the person of Christ.

Having Eyes that See (Luke 10:17-24)

Rightly understanding were your identity lies is a key factor in being a thankful believer. True thankfulness comes from rightly seeing reality, that your identity is not dependent on you.

Say It! (Psalm 107)

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His steadfast love endures forever!" This is the cry of the psalmist, and, as Pastor Todd shows from the psalm, this can be our cry if we are Christ, because He meets us in our distress.

Thankful – Steadfast (Psalm 108)

This Psalm seems like a contradiction. At the beginning there are praises to God, at the end there is lament concerning enemies, but as Pastor Todd shows, what seems like a contradiction is perfectly in harmony. We can praise God no matter the circumstance because of who God is and what he has done.

The Will of God (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

We can do the will of God, simply given thanks in all circumstances. That truth does not mean we give thanks of all circumstances, but in all circumstances. To accomplish that call we have to have a rightly directed thankfulness.

Unbroken Praise-Faithful Forever (Psalm 146)

God calls us unbroken praise. Only one man fulfills that command, and we, as his followers, join our voices with his praise. We recognize that all other praise is false and based in false hope.
