Scripture: Ephesians 5:1-4, 20
Preacher: Elder Randy Jackson, Sr.
- Thanks Living
- Giving thanks always for all things
- God required people to build an altar and then make a sacrifice.
- Your life is made up of your Time, Treasure, and Talent
- When you put your ALL on the altar, it produces a life of Thanks Living
- Ephesians 4:1-4: Follow God’s example. He gave himself up for us
- What is a life of Thanks Living? A life that has an attitude of gratitude.
- Ephesians 4:17-20
- Bible example of Thanks Living and Thanksgiving being an action. Luke 17:12
- Ten lepers were healed by Jesus but only 1, when he saw he was healed, returned with a loud voice and glorified God, and fell on his face at His feet, giving him thanks.
- Your thankfulness should come with a response. The one had an attitude of gratitude that would not allow him to experience the greatness of God without saying thank you.
- I Thessalonians 5:16-18
- I want the power of gratitude working in me
- Why give thanks? II Corinthians 2:14
- God causes us to triumph in Christ. And it manifests the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.
- When we live our life of Thanks Living, others will recognize the fragrance of God in our presence. The same as the effect of perfume or cologne.
- Have you laid it all on the altar? Do you need an attitude adjustment? (Do you have an attitude of gratitude?)
