Give Him the Glory for Everything


Psalms 105:1 "Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make His deeds among the people!

I asked myself the question this morning; what am I most thankful for? Here are some of the things that came to mind.....



  • the ability to see, smell, hear, and walk.

  • a healthy family who loves the Lord.

  • a Christian wife who is absolutely amazing, and most of all is my best friend.

  • the ability and the skills to work and provide for my family.

  • the love of our families in Ontario.

  • the Peck family (our best friends) for their love and dedication (passion) to the Lord.

  • to be able to go to church freely, without the fear of losing our lives.

  • the local church and their desire to know Him more personally through the written word.

  • the forgiveness of sin through His Son's death and resurrection.

  • the salvation that the Lord gives so freely to a lost and broken world.

  • that He, (Jesus) saved my wretched life from eternal death.

  • that He, (Jesus) saved my family from that same eternal death.

  • the intimate relationship that I have with Lord Jesus Christ.

  • that He loves me so much with a perfecting and everlasting love.

  • the privilege and honor to preach and proclaim His word to His children.

  • the power and privilege of prayer.

  • the grace and mercy He has for me, when I struggle to do what is right.

  • His sovereignty and providence in my life as he directs my path.

  • the will He has for my life and my family.

  • the burden for the lost, and the desire to see people to see Jesus Christ and His love.

  • the love and support of my family and friends.

  • the Gospel of peace which is.............the Lord Jesus Christ,

  • TO BE ABLE TO GLORIFY HIM AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN!

What are you most thankful for? As the Psalmist says "...give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the people"..... talk (speak) of His wondrous works!." Ps 105:1-3)

We are to make His name known. So make His name known in your homes and communities each and every day. Tell of His wondrous works that He has done in your life. To Him be the glory!

Names of God's Children

If you are a child of the living God, you are no longer called a sinner; "For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls" 1Peter 2:25. We are still a sinners but God looks at us not as sinners, but as His precious children. Why? Because of what Jesus did on the Cross for you and me, sinners saved by sovereign grace. Jesus, is the Overseer and Lover of our souls, as the Good Shepherd. Jesus said in John's Gospel "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep." John 10:14-15. The Bible has many names for God's children, sinners who are saved by His wondrous grace and mercy. You are the: Beloved of God (Rom 1:7) Beloved Brethren (James 2:5) Children of God (John 1:12) Sons of the Living God (Rom 9:26) Sons of the Most High (Luke 6:35) Children of the Promise (Rom 9:8) Dear Children ( Eph 5:1

TRUE JOY IS ONLY FOUND IN CHRIST

INTRODUCTION How relevant is this letter to the Philippian Church? Let me ask this question before you answer that one!  Is it easy to be a Christian in today’s world?  The answer is no, it’s the opposite; it’s hard and feels sometimes like an uphill battle.  This letter should encourage you to live for Christ despite the opposition with a joy that nothing can steal that joy away.  Where are you going to find true joy?  Because Paul in this letter radiates a infectious joy, though he writes this letter from a Roman’s prison cell.  In this letter Paul helps us to understand that joy isn’t resulting from comfortable circumstances, but from a living, vibrant communion with Christ.  I say that because look what Paul says in chapter two “Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me .” Phil 2:17-18.  Paul’s circumstance doesn’t change hi

DESPAIR IS SATAN’S MASTERPIECE

Image
Job 6:1-30 I titled my sermon after a statement that the late great reformer Thomas Brooks said “Despair is Satan's masterpiece; it carries men headlong to hell as the devils did the herd of swine into the deep.”  I also came across a fictitious story that Steve Lawson mentions in a commentary, which speaks about, this word despair.  “One day the devil decided to have a garage sale. Taking all his finest tools of destruction: hatred, envy, jealousy, deceit, lust, lying, and pride. He priced each one according to its value and placed them on the driveway. But the most worn tool was set apart from the other instruments. A curious customer saw and picked up the worn tool, looked it over, and noted that it carried the highest price. He asked , “Why is this tool higher than the others?”  The devil laughed and said , “That’s the tool called ‘discouragement.’ It is more powerful than any other tool I have. When I use this tool on a person’s heart, I can pry it open and then u
