With Thanksgiving

Title: With Thanksgiving

Speaker: Roger Whiteside

Date: November 23, 2025

Bible: Psalm 119:17-24

This sermon, rooted in Psalm 119 and expanded through a series of scriptural passages, calls the church to reclaim Thanksgiving as a sacred act of worship centered on gratitude to God for His enduring mercy, provision, and redemptive grace. It emphasizes that thanksgiving is not merely a seasonal meal or cultural tradition, but a daily posture of the heart—offered in all circumstances, even suffering, as an act of obedience and faith. The preacher underscores that true thanksgiving involves sacrifice, prayer, praise, and testimony, reflecting a life transformed by God’s faithfulness and a commitment to glorify Him in every area of life. Through personal testimonies, the congregation embodies the sermon’s message, affirming God’s presence in their families, health, salvation, and community, thereby making thanksgiving a communal and transformative practice that honors God and strengthens the body of Christ.
