     | 13,326 views

    Thanksgiving is the holiday dedicated to giving thanks. But if your life isn't going very well you might think there isn't anything to be thankful for. Let's see if we can gain some perspective on why we should be thankful; not just at Thanksgiving time, but all the time.

    BE THANKFUL Colossians 3:15-17 Thanksgiving is the holiday dedicated to giving thanks for things. Interestingly, the words thank and think have the same root, reminding us that thanksgiving comes from thinking about our blessings. But you may not be feeling very thankful lately.

     | 2,327 views

    Jesus explains more fully about submitting to Him and we are challenged to “deny [ourselves] and take up [our] cross and follow [Him].” This is not easy, but does speak to our soul and the judgment to come.

    When "If” Met "So”

    From the serpent’s "if" that birthed doubt to the Savior’s "so" that proved love, redemption silences every question with grace.
