What is our Life Characterized by ???

What comes to mind when you think about being thankful or giving thanks ??? Recognitio n Appreciatio n Thanksgivin g

Reasons to Be Thankful… What’s… Who’s…

Results of not being Thankful… Greed… Complaining … Do everything without complaining or arguing Phil 2:14 A greedy man brings trouble to his family Pro. 15:27 A greedy man stirs up dissension Pr 28:25

Results of not being Thankful… Selfishness … For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice Jas 3:16

A Thankful person is … Content… …for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Phil 4:11b -13

A Thankful person is … Humble… Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Phil. 2:3-5

Becoming Thankful… Serving… And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Col. 3:17 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men Col. 3:23

Becoming Thankful… Worship… But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Mt. 6:33 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on thingsabove, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things Col. 3:1-2

Becoming Thankful… Worship… Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace. Mt. 6:6 (MSG)

Becoming Thankful… Recognizing the Bigger Picture… And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.Rom. 8:28 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Cor. 4:17-18

Becoming Thankful… When we recognize the big picture, we see reason to be Thankful… All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 2Co 4:15

Recognize, Worship, and Serve
