Always Say Thank You! This Series Is Perfect for Thanksgiving

Thank God Every Day

Don't Complain
Scripture: Exodus 16:1-18, Manna and Quail
God had done a great thing! He had delivered God's people who were trapped by Pharaoh in Egypt. But instead of thanking Him, the people grumbled and complained about not having enough food. We shouldn't grumble and complain about what we don't have, but should thank God for everything we do have.

The Only One
Scripture: Luke 7:36-50, Jesus Anointed

Thank God With Worship
Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:12-21, David Dances Before the Lord
