     | 9,438 views

    We should never forget where our blessings come from. Whenever God helps us or blesses us, we should never forget to give Him thanks and then give Him the praise that He truly deserves.

    Introduction In today’s world, mannerisms are hard to find. For someone to say to you that they appreciate what you did for them has become somewhat obsolete. I see it all the time from students at the school and even from some adults that work side by side with me everyday. The attitude is ...read more

    We can’t go around saying, “Thank God that’s not me” because in truth it is us. Just like us, the people who are out there, people who perhaps make us uncomfortable are sinners who need to know the grace of God through Jesus Christ in their lives. The o

    Two attitudes toward thanksgiving: • Blessings are seen as coming from US, not GOD.

    Are You 'whole'? Are You Thankful?

    A short talk given at a midweek communion service. Anyone (absolutely anyone) who calls out to Jesus for pity, mercy, forgiveness, will receive it; but are we thankful? Are we ’whole’?

    Jesus brings wholeness. We bring thankfulness. What have you brought with you to this service of Holy Communion today? By that I don’t mean shopping trolleys, or shopping lists, or an umbrella in case it rains, or that letter which you forgot to post. What have you brought to Church today? Have you ...read more

    Ingratitude is perhaps the most frequent and one of the most grievous of all sins that a Christian can commit.

    TAKE THE TIME TO GIVE THANKS While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When He saw them, He said to them, "Go ...read more

    Jesus healed a leper but the leper’s response isn’t recorded, do we exhibit the same type of thanksgiving?

    He was without friends, family or future. He lived a life of tragedy without a home and without a hope.
