The Christian Grace of Thankfulness (Colossians 3:15)

Richard Allen Bodey

The Christian life is a song of thanksgiving, a glad and joyous hymn of praise to God. "Be thankful," Paul admonished the believers at Colossae in our text.

Thankfulness in Everything? (Philippians 4:4-9)

Gary D. Stratman

The most important attitude that we will ever nurture, that we will ever exhibit, is the attitude of thanksgiving. I am more convinced of that every day. The attitude that makes the difference is an attitude of being thankful, of being grateful.

Thankfulness: Where Are the Nine? (Luke 17:11-19)

William W. McDermet III

For all of us the important question is: How do we fit into this story? Can we be thankful for past healing events, and express that thanks, long after the fact?

Mannaburgers and Roast Quail

H. Mark Abbott

In this sermon, which focuses on God's provision of manna for his people, Thanksgiving is our response to grace. Thanksgiving humbly acknowledges: "God how good You are to me!" Thanksgiving is responding to God's grace even in the midst of trouble. "In everything," Paul wrote, "give thanks." Not necessarily for everything, but in every situation, give thanks for who God is.

The Promise of Peace on Earth

Marvin A. McMickle

What did the angels mean when they spoke of "peace on earth?" In this Christmas sermon, Rev. McMickle shares three characteristics of peace: that it can only come from God, that it cannot be experienced by a single person or by a certain group of persons if, at the same time, it is being denied or withheld from others, and that it must begin with me!

I Will Let You Choose (Matt. 25:46)

Max Lucado

God allows us to make our own choices. And no one delineates this more clearly than Jesus.

Hunger and Politics

Wayne Brouwer

The people on the hillside were hungry for bread, but maybe, like us, they were even more hungry for something deeper. This sermon on faith addresses our search for meaning beyond the drudgery and repetition of our daily activities. It is the spiritual need each person has to know that he or she is not alone in this gigantic and sometimes unkind maze of life.
