Let Us Pray                                                                                                 Pastor Wes Alford

 

*Let Us Sing To the Lord               Give Thanks

 

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks because He’s given

Jesus Christ, His Son.  (Repeat)

 

And now, let the weak say “I am strong”

                                                Let the poor say “I am rich”

                                                Because of what the Lord has done

                                                for us. (Repeat)

                                                Give thanks, give thanks . . .

How can we glorify God?

By loving Him and by obeying His commands and law.

 

What does the law of God require?

That we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength,

            and love our neighbor as ourselves.

 

What is the law of God stated in the Ten Commandments?

You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for

            yourself an idol. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your

            God.  Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Honor your

            father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not

            commit adultery.  You shall not steal.  You shall not give false

            testimony.  You shall not covet.

What do YOU give thanks to the Lord for?

Let Us Pray
