In our sermon series “Witnesses of His Advent,” we look at God’s messengers – His angelic host – to be reminded of the staggering awe of our salvation in Christ. Come with us to Luke 2 where we see the boldness, peace, and love of Christ emphasized by the angels’ presence.

Sermon: “Messengers Of Momentous Salvation”
The turkey is all put away, and many are scrambling to get their consumer spending going. But gratitude isn’t a virtue that Christians practice just one day a year on national holidays. Use the following articles to improve your ability to give thanks!
“Gratitude should fill the Christian’s life (1 Thess. 5:18; Acts 2:46-47), especially with Thanksgiving on the horizon. So why am I so prone to ingratitude? Genuine gratitude seems elusive.

So wrongly we think we deserve, or even have a fundamental right to, all of this. We also know what is at the end of the string if we pull on it long enough. We know that we will be confronted with a Creator. We know we will be accountable to a Creator. Saying thank you means we are dependent, not independent. We would rather be ungrateful. Paul says we know God from all the evidence He has left of Himself, but we don’t want to “honor him or give thanks to him” (Rom 1:21). Then the downward spiral begins. A culture of ingratitude careens ever downward into decline.
