1. HOW CAN THE BIBLE HELP ME?

IT WILL HELP ME TO KNOW GOD
IT WILL TEACH ME THE TRUTH John 8:31-32 Rom. 10:14
IT WILL SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE
IT WILL GIVE ME SPIRITUAL STRENGTH

2. HOW DO I USE THE BIBLE?
1 Thessalonians 2:13

USE IT TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE Hosea 4:6a

USE IT TO GAIN PERSPECTIVE
– In knowledge you know WHAT God did in the Bible, in perspective you know WHY He did it.

1.We are thankful or we become BITTER.

3.We are thankful or we will grow ARROGANT and

4.SELF SATISFIED.

1. Thanksgiving is the exercise of a JOYFUL and PRAYING heart.

It is a mark of the WICKED that they have no THANKFULNESS.

It is a mark of the SAINTS in heaven that they are full of THANKSGIVING.

It is a mark of the SAINTS on earth to give THANKS.
Grateful – is something we FEEL inside.
Thankful – is something we EXPRESS outwardly.

2. Thanksgiving must be UNIVERSAL in its SPHERE.

3. The REASON for such an ACTION.

Rom. 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his PURPOSE.

Purpose – It comes from the Greek word Prothesis
Pro - before
Thesis - to place

Mark 12:29-31

1. NOTICE WHO IS TALKING ABOUT WORSHIP

Luke 7:41-47

2. NOTICE WHAT WORSHIP IS NOT

1) Worship is not geography
2) Worship is not based on race
3) Worship is not anything and everything
4) Worship is not enthusiasm

3. NOTICE HOW WORSHIP IS DONE
- "We are called to an everlasting preoccupation with God". A.W. Tozer

4. NOTICE WHAT WORSHIP LEADS TO
We are easily more excited about our presents from God than being in the presence of God.
