Sunday’s Sermon: “The Heart of Thanksgiving” November 22, 2020“The Heart of Thanksgiving”Sermon by Rev. Dr. Austin Brinkerhoff11.22.20 MP3 Audio Version of Sermon “Thank You For Giving To The Lord”Thank You (for Giving to the Lord) – Ray Boltz I dreamed I went to heavenAnd you were there with meWe walked upon the streets of goldBeside the crystal seaWe heard the angels singingThen someone called your nameYou turned and saw this young manAnd he was smiling as he cameAnd he said friend you may not know me nowAnd then he said but waitYou used to teach my Sunday SchoolWhen I was only eightAnd every week you would say a prayerBefore the class would startAnd one day when you said that prayerI asked Jesus in my heartCHORUSThank you for giving to the LordI am a life that was changedThank you for giving to the LordI am so glad you gaveThen another man stood before youAnd said remember the timeA missionary came to your churchAnd his pictures made you cryYou didn’t have much moneyBut you gave it anywayJesus took the gift you gaveAnd that’s why I’m here todayCHORUS (repeat)One by one they cameFar as the eyes could seeEach life somehow touchedBy your generosityLittle things that you had doneSacrifices madeUnnoticed on the earthIn heaven now proclaimedAnd I know that up in heavenYou’re not supposed to cryBut I am almost sureThere were tears in your eyesAs Jesus took your handAnd you stood before the LordHe said, my child look around youFor great is your rewardCHORUS Scripture Reading: 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
