Pre-Service - 11-26-2017 - Hope and Thanksgiving

The message this morning will focus on being thankful in the midst of suffering. It is the third part in the series from Revelation and a fitting sermon theme for this holiday weekend.

As you prepare for worship this morning, read the main passage of Scripture for the sermon: Revelation 2:8-11. (Click on that passage or any below to read the verses from Biblegateway.com.)

Here are other verses Pastor Todd will refer to. As you read them, consider the themes of hope, trust and thanksgiving.

• James 1:2-4
• Luke 6:20
• Daniel 3:16-18
• John 16:33
• 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Continuing with this theme, the worship team will also be leading Great Are You Lord for the first time. To understand the significance of this popular praise song, see this page for a personal story from one of the songwriters. If you want to hear the song, see this video.
