1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. For you and me as Christians, Thanksgiving is not just a day for us to celebrate this Thursday, is it? Thanksgiving should characterize every day of our lives! That is why God’s Word tells us to be thankful in ALL Circumstances.
So how can we be a people who live out our thankfulness to God every day in an ungrateful world? How can we not only say we are thankful to God, but demonstrate that thankfulness in “all circumstances”? A passage in Luke comes to mind because it tells the story of how one man expressed his thanksgiving to Jesus for what He had done for him. This Sunday we will take a closer look at Luke 17:11-19 and as we move through these verses together, we will see three strong reasons that one man had to express his thanks to Jesus.
In Christ,
