Thanksgiving Day

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 16, 2020

The Apostle Paul did not write 365 thank-you notes. But he did write about one-half of the letters that make-up the New Testament. And Paul’s letters overflow with thanksgiving.

Gratitude is an intentional way of thinking about receiving a benefit and giving credit to others beside oneself for that benefit. Practicing gratitude magnifies positive feelings more than it reduces negative feelings. To illustrate: John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low ...read more

So Long, Farewell (I'll Tell You This...) Series

Contributed by Steven Cordle on Mar 28, 2025

Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more

A Concerned Spirit Series

Contributed by Bart Leger on Jul 27, 2007
