Offering The Sacrifice Of Thanksgiving (2 of 3) by Ken Trivette
Last Sunday morning we saw from the words of Peter that as believers we are priests and as priests we are to offer spiritual sacrifices.

Thanking Your Way To A Strong Family (4 of 4) by Jeff Strite
Back in the 70's, a woman wrote an article I found interesting. She said that her cousin had invited them to "Come for a thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, March 20th."

Thanksgiving: Celebrating God's Graciousness (3 of 4) by Dr. J. Gerald Harris

Paul had just finished wrestling again with the essence of "the glorious gospel" and he literally exploded into a joyous celebration of his own personal relationship with Christ.

How to Be Grateful When You Don't Feel Great by Steve Jones
The Sunday School Teacher asked little Jimmy if he prayed every night. He said "No Maam. Some nights I don't need nothing." We're often better at "asking" in prayer than we are at "thanking". A man dreamed he went to heaven and Peter gave him the tour. The first room they stopped at was large and full of bustling activity with angels flitting to and… ( read more )
