Sermon for this week:
“Thankful, Grateful, Blessed” has become a catch-phrase printed on everything from t-shirts to home décor, and even hashtags on social media. It is a slogan often used to acknowledge material gain or a fortuitous turn of events. For Christians, “Thankful, Grateful, Blessed,” is a declaration of the position of their hearts regardless of circumstances.
In this season of Thanksgiving, all people should consider why they are thankful, what they are grateful for and by whom they are blessed. Thankfulness and gratitude are universal concepts that are not limited to those living in the rich nations of the world. These concepts are also common to Indigenous people in underdeveloped countries. While people are thankful and grateful it is different around the world, the attitude of gratitude for the blessings from a God who loves the world is the same.
Pastor Chuck Franco will preach a sermon titled “Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving,” drawn from Psalm 100:1-5.
The church will celebrate with gratitude and thankfulness to the God of blessing this coming Sunday.
Bible Study: Paul’s letter to Titus, the young pastor he left in Crete to establish the churches, speaks as though it were written to young pastors today. Why are people still dealing with the same issues of rebellion and debauchery after so many centuries? This relevant study is presented in a relatable video teaching and question-andanswer participation by class members. Residents can join the study at any time.
