Each Thanksgiving our Sunday service is transformed as members of our congregation share a deeply personal Thanksgiving reflection.

Scripture read by Steve Thames and Efton Park.Giving ThanksWe live our best lives when we are regularly thanking God for the many blessings he showers upon us.Where do all good and perfect gifts come from? What does that mean in our lives?What are some “good and perfect” gifts you've received from God?What does the phrase "Father of lights" reveal about God? What does it mean that God does notchange like shifting shadows?How does being the "firstfruits" of God's creatures relate to Christian identity or purpose?How do you make giving thanks a regular habit in your life?Psalm 100A Psalm of thanksgiving.1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing.3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him; bless his name.5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.Matthew 11:25-3025 At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”1 Thessalonians 5:16-1816 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Pastor Doug continued our "Love Life" series with a message highlighting the power women have in the choices they make in relationships.

In Week 1 of THANKFULL, Pastor Doug Bell teaches that gratitude is not a reaction to a season — it is the posture of your heart before God. Gratitude isn't something we feel when life finally “gets better”; it's something we choose before the blessing, during the confusion, and through the chaos. As Pastor Doug said, “Thankful starts before the crisis happens… Thankful comes during the confusion, the chaos, the mess, the hell you're going through.”Life is layered — we can be blessed in one area and broken in another. Because of that, gratitude cannot depend on circumstances. It must be anchored in recognizing, remembering, and responding to the goodness of God, even when His goodness is hard to see (recognition), easy to forget (remembering), or costly to obey (responding).Pastor Doug walks us through four biblical models of gratitude as a posture:• Job: Gratitude as surrender, worshiping even in devastating loss.• Joseph: Gratitude as trust, especially in the chapters we cannot read yet.• Paul: Gratitude as dependence, embracing weakness to experience God's strength.• David: Gratitude as humility, remembering that every blessing comes from God's hand.Pastor Doug reminds us that grief, mystery, weakness, and even blessing all demand posture. Gratitude is the anchor that keeps us from being carried away by storms — it doesn't erase the grief, it anchors us in it.

“The God Who Calls”Exodus 35:4-10; Exodus 39:42-43; Exodus 40:33b-38Exodus 35:4 Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. 5 Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; 6 blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; goats' hair, 7 tanned rams' skins, and goatskins; acacia wood, 8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 9 and onyx stones and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece.10 “Let every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:Exodus 39:42 According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them.Exodus 40:33 …So Moses finished the work.34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. 37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.
