Next Thursday America will celebrate Thanksgiving. A holiday designed to give thanks. To many people it will simply be a commercial holiday surrounded by family, turkey, pie, and football. To others, it will be a genuine day to give thanks for their good fortune. For the Christian, it is both of these combined with the greatest reason to give thanks - God’s goodness to us in Jesus! This Sunday I will preach on the radical thanksgiving one woman showed to Jesus. It was humble. It was heartfelt. It was a little bit weird. But it might be the best example we have in the Bible of how we are to celebrate Thanksgiving!
Come this Sunday to prepare your heart for a busy Thanksgiving week. It is a time we set aside for worship through song, prayer, Bible teaching, and fellowship. There is no better way to prepare our hearts to give thanks!
“…and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.” - Luke 7:38
