Jesus Is Our Thanksgiving - part 7 of 7

Do you have a thankful spirit? Mirriam-Webster defines thanksgiving as: a celebration of divine goodness, and a prayer expressing gratitude. I prefer Dictionary.com’s definition because most of their definitions of thanksgiving end with, especially to God; like this one: Thanksgiving is a grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, especially to God. However, I think we can all agree that sometimes we get caught up focusing on the negative which causes us to have a grumbling spirit; rather than focusing on all the many blessings that God has poured out to us, and choosing to have a spirit of thanksgiving, lifting up our prayers of thanks; to God. Today, Pastor Dennis wraps up the final message in our “Jesus Is” series, and discusses the spirit of Thanksgiving that we should all desire, as followers of Jesus.
