    Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 7, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 63,028 views

    In the Bible, giving of thanks goes far beyond an annual American celebration on a day we remember to thank God for a multitude of blessings. It is a preoccupation of every Christian and extends even to those elders who are "before the throne" in heaven.

    Note: I have some simple, not fancy textual slides I used with this sermon. If anyone is interested, I'll send them directly by email if you'll send an email to me at sam@srmccormick.net with the subject: Thanksgiving slides. THANKSGIVING I.

    The fastest growing group in the world is Pentecostal believers, projected to reach 800 million by 2025. This fact highlights the key to revival: the Holy Spirit. It's time the American church went back to the template of the N.T. church.

    Gideon, Scientist Series

     | 3,478 views

    Is this pandemic God’s judgement against us? I am reluctant to say it, but what else can it be? It certainly ought to wake up all Americans to our responsibilities to restore goodness to our land.

    Gideon, Scientist Here in the Book of Judges, we see a very sad history. It’s not unlike some of the ages in our nation’s history, including the one we are laboring in today. Time after time we read that “The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into ...read more

    As Americans, we honor those who died so we could live in freedom. But as Christians, we must also honor the One who died to free us from sin, darkness, and the grip of Satan himself.

    In the Bible, giving of thanks goes far beyond an annual American celebration on a day we remember to thank God for a multitude of blessings. It is a preoccupation of every Christian and extends even to those elders who are "before the throne" in heaven.

    Today, I want to explore the significance of thanksgiving in our lives as Christians. While Thanksgiving is often associated with a single day of gratitude in America, the Bible teaches us that giving thanks goes far beyond an annual celebration. It is a continuous attitude and action that should ...read more

    Back when I was an Army Chaplain, I asked a soldier if he was a Christian. He answered, “Sure, Chaplain; I’m an American!” I’m afraid being a Christian takes more than US citizenship.

    Third in a series on popular illusions. We try to limit God by turning to religion instead of relationship. The issue is in our own integrity. The world understands the power of God better than we do! The loss of our idols is fatal, but in Christ ther

    God had put a wall between Israel and her neighbors, not because Israel was better than any other nation, but because she was different. Instead of worshipping idols, the Jews worshipped the one true God, who made the heavens and the earth.
