There are times when we receive the gift of grace and mercy from God, and it takes a humble heart for us to admit that we need it and also be grateful for it. How we express gratitude affects every relationship we have. In this final Thanksliving sermon, Pastor Brandon challenges us all to be more humble and thankful. Isaiah 12.

In this message from the series Thanksliving: Turning Gratitude into a Lifestyle, Pastor Verna DeHart teaches that every believer lives under the same covenant blessing given to Abraham. Through Scripture, she shows how God's blessing empowers you to prosper, protects your life, shapes your purpose, releases peace, and makes you productive.

Colossians 3:15–17 5 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.Psalm 50:23 The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me. Hebrews 12:28–29 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,29 for our God is a consuming fire.Revelation 7:9–12   9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”Colossians 1:11-12    11 Being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;12 give thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.INTRODUCTION: Thanksgiving as a Lifestyle A THANKFUL HEART BRINGS REVIVAL INTO OUR RELATIONSHIPS          Colossians 3:15–17“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… with thankfulness…do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks…”A THANKFUL HEART RESTORES TRUE WORSHIP         Psalm 50:23  “The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies Me…”A THANKFUL HEART PRODUCES OBEDIENT FAITH               Hebrews 12:28–29“Let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship…”A THANKFUL HEART IGNITES EVANGELISM AND MISSION              Revelation 7:9–12 “A great multitude… crying out… ‘Thanksgiving be to our God forever!'” A THANKFUL HEART ENDURES UNTIL THE END              Colossians 1:11-12 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. Conclusion: ThanksLiving 

As we conclude Right on the Money, we're reminded that biblical stewardship is ultimately worship. Everything we have comes from God, and everything we give is for God. Psalm 100 encourages us that thanksgiving is the doorway into God's presence. Gratitude is the posture that turns financial stewardship into joyful surrender. We don't wait for a feeling to be thankful; it is a spiritual practice that shapes our hearts to see God clearly. True generosity flows from a heart that recognizes God's goodness, faithfulness, and grace, responding with worship in all aspects of life.Edwin IzumigawaSunday, November 30, 2025 Live at 6:00PM

A little appetizer before your Thanksgiving meal…a special holiday episode of Verbal Shenanigans. We bring in friends old and new to play Thanksliving. Scott, Harry, and Dom show off their knowledge and thankfulness as Pilgrim Mike puts them through a series of question, trivia, and …hand turkey drawings? Assisting us will be fan and friend of the show Kelley Warner to judge the boys in determining who is will be thankful they are the winner.   Along with the game we speak with artist and author Jennifer Palmer. Jennie has worked on designing floats, costumes, and balloons at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade for over a decade. We hear the behind the scenes work, the science, and aftermath stress to make magical visuals for this yearly tradition. Prep for the next holiday by getting her book Milo's Christmas Parade.   Avoid talking politics and play this episode at the family dinner table with your loved ones

Imagine if gratitude wasn't just a yearly feeling, but a daily practice! In this episode, Ryan dives into the concept of Thanksliving, contrasting it with Thanksgiving, and delves into how gratitude can actually reshape your brain. He also tackles the sneaky entitlement that sometimes sneaks into our lives. With heartfelt stories, like a transformative moment in Chicago that changed his view of his mom, and candid moments of doubt (“Do we really need more to appreciate what we have?”), this episode will really change your perspective. From work and marriage to parenting and even traffic, Ryan reminds us that even our frustrations can be seen as blessings someone else is hoping for. Gratitude doesn't ignore the challenges we face, but it does help us handle them differently. Try incorporating Thanksliving into your life this week, and see how your home becomes a more positive place.

Pastor Sam Rijfkogel

During our season of Thanksgiving, we stop to look at what it means to live thankfully, rather than just being thankful because a holiday dictates it. We look at the book of Colossians to see how we can truly live out a life of thankfulness. We're glad that you made it to this sermon! We're also available on Youtube.

Explore what it truly means to practice Thanks-Living—a way of life rooted in gratitude no matter what circumstances we face. Drawing from Psalm 100:4, we'll discover how entering God's presence with thanksgiving can transform our perspective, deepen our faith, and help us recognize the blessings woven into our everyday moments. Learn how grateful living isn't just a response to good times, but a spiritual posture that brings joy, peace, and renewed hope each day.

Thanks-Living (Additional Message by Pastor Yow of Gahanna – “Go, and Make Disciples”) MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today's Message by Archbishop Beach -- ”Thanks-Living”: We need to develop a mindset of “Thanks-Living”, which includes a perspective of “thankfulness” based on God's faithfulness to His promises. God wants us to live with a fullness in our lives, but our lives should not be focused and consumed by “things”. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 6:33, to seek first His Righteousness and His Kingdom: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.". Additionally, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:25a,27: “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life . . . And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”. Have faith; trust in God because He knows what we truly need, and God is faithful in His promises. Rather than worrying and being anxious about “things”, we need to view the “things” of the world with “thanksgiving” because God has promised to provide what we need – this perspective and focus on earthly “things God's faithfulness to His promises is “Thanks-Living”. We need to live in thanks for what God has promised to do for us. We should seek to form an “attitude of gratitude” to instill a perspective of thankfulness to God who has provided and will provide – “Thanks-Living”. If you have a need, thank God because He knows your need; and that, somehow and in some way, God will provide for your need. Paul promises in Philippians 4:19: “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.". When you enter a life focused on “Thanks-Living: 1) your life burden is lifted, and it is replaced by God's peace; 2) God becomes your partner is the life issue that you are facing; 3) you are provided with a spirit of anticipation for what God is going to do; 4) you will find that God is always faithful; and 5) your faith will increase. During the week of America's declared holiday of Thanksgiving, practice living your life in “Thanks-Living”. Today's Added Message by Pastor Yow of Gahanna – “Go, and Make Disciples”: Pastor Yow's focus is to take the Gospel and his witness into those places in which God and Jesus are unknown; and the practice of “religion” in these places is, often, through “witch doctors”. Also, those in America, who are supporting missions, must “believe” themselves: “American Christians must believe because there are too many unbelievers in America”. In order to fulfill Jesus' Great Commission to make disciples in America as well as beyond America, those professing to be Christians must be a witness to the Gospel by proclaiming, publicly and often, our faith in Jesus and His Gospel to the world.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9).

Are you a thankful person? Pastor Doug crafts an excellent message on thankfulness as a command by God, not just a suggestion.

Happy Thanksgiving! These days, most folks don't remember what Thanksgiving is all about - other than big sales all over Amazon. The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving after a successful harvest in October 1621. The feast lasted three days. The federal holiday began in 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving."   Thanksgiving is about being grateful. I think a statement from Stoic Philosopher Epictetus is fitting,  "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has." Today and every day, let's make it "Thanks-Living" day. Eat well, nap, watch football, and embrace your family and friends.   Joi and I are thankful that you allow us into your life.

In this sermon, Pastor Wayne encourages us as believers to let God's principles shape our lives, breaking free from sin that distances us from Him. He emphasizes the importance of love and forgiveness, urging us to show grace just as God has forgiven us. Lastly, he highlights the power of gratitude, encouraging us to notice and appreciate the good in our lives every day.

We should make a commitment to praise the Lord at all times and in all circumstances.

Thanksgiving is a natural overflow of what we have on the inside. We need to develop an attitude of gratitude.

"Gratitude is a state of being, whereas thankfulness is the expression of that state of being." As we start our new series, Pastor Wayne shows us four ways to live a life of thankfulness.
