The Romans: A Work of God (Romans 1:7-15)
Paul concludes his introduction to Romans with a more personal note. He reminds the Romans that they are loved by God and called by God -- that God's claim on their lives and His grace to them is their fundamental reality. Paul gives thanks to God for the Romans and their faith, reminding them that all they have is from God. Lastly, Paul communicates his longing to see the Romans and share in God's work among them. Paul is aware that God's claim on his life gives him the privilege and responsibility of preaching that gospel to the lost.

An Authentic Thanksgiving: Giving Thanks from the Pit
The apostle Paul tells us to give thanks in all circumstances. But how do we give thanks when our present circumstances are crushing our spirit? We lament. We cry out to God to change our present, while giving thanks to God for what He has done, while giving thanks to God for what He will do. We can always give God thanks.

Am I A Thankful Person?
“AM I A THANKFUL PERSON?” Do people see me as a thankful person? Do I come across as a grateful individual? Does my family know me as one who remembers to give thanks and show appreciation? Does GOD see me as one who is thankful? Does my communication with God reflect a grateful person, or does He hear mostly “give me, give me, give me, help me, bless me?” THE SCRIPTURE: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 THREE GOALS FOR THIS THANKSGIVING SEASON: 1. I am invited by God to live a life free of anxiety. 2. When I am anxious I am invited to make requests in prayer with thanksgiving. 3. I am asked by God to find a way to give thanks in all circumstances.

On the Nature of Gratitude
Gratitude is underrated in our culture. Many are conditioned to appreciate and strive for accomplishments achieved by their own hand. Yet, gratitude allows us to see the truth about our ultimate dependence on God and each other and is, therefore, one way of keeping everything in our lives in proper perspective.

Nothing Condemning
When we were born spiritually, all of our sins were forgiven - the past, present, and future. So why do we live under the weight of guilt? God's Word states that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Give Thanks . . .
When Jesus met the 10 lepers on His way to Jerusalem, they pleaded to Jesus that He have pity on them and heal them. After Jesus sent them away to show themselves to the priests -- which was required by Jewish Law in order to certify their cleansing -- they were healed on their way. Only one returned to give Jesus thanks for the healing, and he was a Samaritan.

Freedom to Be Thankful
Technology changes, culture changes, theory changes -- but human nature remains the same. In the ancient historical account of Abraham and his family we see a reflection of ourselves. Though God had made a promise that could only be fulfilled by divine power, Abraham chose to take matters into his own hands and rely on human effort and power to do God's will. How often are we tempted to do the same thing? Listen as we allow the Apostle Paul to show us what we can learn from the story of Abraham.
