Sermon Notes

 

Psalm 118:24 O Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good.  Give all of who you are.  His steadfast love endures forever.  The battle is not yours but the Lord’s.

Be thankful. Thank the people around you.

Colossians 4:2  Continue, steadfast. Being watchful.  The Lord goes before you. His will is better . Have a thankful heart. Many problems you can’t solve.  See who needs prayer.  Be thankful.
