“Thankful”   

I Thessalonians 5:18

What do you have to be thankful for?  This is a question that we will be asked many times over the next few days.  If we stop to count our blessings, we’d run out of paper recording all the ways God has blessed us.  As we continue our series “Giving Thanks with a Grateful Heart”, we’re going to see instances of the people in Scripture giving thanks and what they’re thankful for.  My prayer is that through seeing thanksgiving written all over the pages of the Bible, it would inspire us to give thanks in all circumstances.

“Seeing God in the Midst of Trouble”   

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Have you ever wondered or even questioned why God does certain things?  Maybe you’ve asked questions like, “If God loves me, how could he do this?”  Or, “Why does it seem like the evil people around are getting ahead, while I am struggling?”  We even utter the question, “God, why??”  Habakkuk, an Old Testament prophet, asked God very similar questions–but as God responded to His questions we see Habakkuk’s response to God and how it led to a deeper faith and joy even in the midst of trouble.

“Fulfilled”

Matthew 5:17-20

As we rejoin Jesus as He’s preaching the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a major issue that needs to be resolved in the life of every human being–how can I be righteous?  Can I be righteous in my own actions?  Do I need something more?  Join us as we see Jesus speak about how He is the fulfillment of everything that the Scriptures promised–that it is only through Jesus that anyone can be righteous.
