     | 10,702 views

    There are three virtues in which we all need to seek to be growing.

    Paul was thankful for the Thessalonian church. He mentions three things about them that he was thankful for: 1) their work of faith; 2) their labor of love; and 3) their endurance of hope. It has been pointed out that this is the same means by which Jesus evaluated the church in Ephesus in the ...read more

    It is easy to forget to give thanks when things are going wrong. There is a beautiful story of the king's son that had a bad attitude. We may see through the fog, but God has a plan.

    GIVE THANKS? MAYBE? WHAT DO I KNOW? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com HAVE YOU EVER FORGOT WHAT YOU KNOW? SPIRITUALLY, I THINK IT IS SO EASY TO FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW… One day when I was young I ran out of gas. It was before the cell phone. I sat and wondered what am I going ...read more

    Many people view Paul's advice in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 as unrealistic and even annoying advice. But he was not naive. He showed us three reasons why we should do it.

    Let's read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The phrase “in all circumstances” means in everything or in all situation. That means when we are sick, face difficulties, fail, or lose someone we love, we are told to give ...read more

    Things we need to give thanks for

    WHY WE NEED TO BE Thankful Lamentations 3:1-57 The book of Lamentations describes Jerusalem’s destruction not only for its own sake but also for the profound theological lessons to be learned from it.

     | 4,817 views

    How can we not be generous when Christ gave His very Self? We give thanks to God for His indescribable gift.

    2 Corinthians 8:1-12. By the grace (charis = gift) of God, the Macedonian church had been particularly forward in giving (2 Corinthians 8:1-4). Paul challenged the Corinthians to demonstrate their love by also sharing in this grace of giving (2 Corinthians 8:7-8). The pattern of Christ's ...read more

    In uncertain times, it remains true that giving away what we cannot possess anyway is the path to fulfillment; it must, however, be a gift that refreshes the fainting.

    It seems that we do not have what we think we have. Sometimes what seems to be ours is not ours at all. Buildings as sturdy as the Pentagon and as imposing as the World Trade Center can be destroyed in a moment of awful terror. Lives promising and beautiful are snuffed out, and there is little ...read more

     | 2,336 views

    When Paul said to give thanks in everything he meant it, and he did just that; thanks in persecution, thanks in every difficulty; thanks for His fellow Christians and workmen. Thanks and rejoicing go together and they are considered in this message.

    MESSAGE 12 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:18 – GIVING THANKS IN EVERYTHING; REJOICING WITH THANKSGIVING {{1Thessalonians 5:18 “In EVERYTHING give thanks for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”}} [A].

    How do we respond to the thorns that just won't go away? Paul gives a great example and encouragement in what to do.

    2.16.25 2 Corinthians 12:7b–10 (EHV) 7 I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me, so that I would not become arrogant. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that he would take it away from me. 9 And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because ...read more

    Paul shows how to return and keep moving—admitting we haven’t arrived, forgetting what holds us, and pressing on toward Christ (Philippians 3:12–16). The direction is the point: let go of past wins and wounds, lean forward, and run because Christ already holds you.

    Last week, we kicked off our series "Back At It," and we talked about how Jesus meets us where we are, even when we've drifted back to our old ways. We looked at the story of Jesus cooking breakfast for His disciples on the shore, calling them back to their true purpose. Today, ...read more
