When It Takes Faith to Give God Thanks

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Thanksgiving

Synopsis: We can be thankful to God in the midst of adverse circumstances while finding it difficult to be thankful for all circumstances! Sometimes it just requires faith to give God thanks! Today we look at one of the most memorable accounts in the life of Daniel in which he will be thrown into a den of starving lions as punishment for his faithful, daily prayers of thanksgiving to God. Our text will mention two distinct times in which it will require faith to give God thanks!

Thanksgiving: A Day in Your Life or a Way of Life?

Scripture: Psalm 136:1-3

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Thanksgiving

Synopsis: In Psalm 136 we find a compelling motivation to make Thanksgiving not just a once-a-year occurrence on a national holiday (a day in our life), but to make it our way of life. Why should you make Thanksgiving something to be observed daily? What motivates us to express continual thanksgiving to God--publicly and privately? Two chief reasons are given in our text.
