Thanksgiving and (Not) Understanding

Steve Boyer

Ephesians 5:15-20: Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…

Sermon Outline

1. Thanksgiving as memory (Psalm 136)

• Giving thanks for all the good things

2. Thanksgiving as anticipation (Luke 22:14-20)

• Trusting God to keep his promises

3. Thanksgiving as faith (Ephesians 5)

• Giving thanks in these evil day

• Giving thanks in the Name of Jesus

Strength...to Know

Dave Royes

Ephesians 3:14-21: For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith — that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Sermon Outline

1. A Motivated Prayer (For this reason…)

• Because of chapters 1-3 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have enacted your adoption

2. A Petitioning Prayer (…so that…) (…that you…)

• Faith (in Christ) would be real

• Would know you are loved

• Contentment in God's purpose

3. A Doxological Prayer (Now to him who…) — Doxology = A Word that gives glory
