Thanksgiving calls us to celebrate not only God’s provision and restoration, but also His promise and presence—even amid delays, restricting circumstances, or tears. It is also a call to constancy, for the journey to harvest will usually be harder than we think, longer than we expect, and more rewarding than we can ever imagine.

Upraised hands express our commitment to God, determine victory in intercession, respond to His lovingkindness in worship, and reach beyond ourselves to others with His life and grace.

 

 

 

 

The whole of Jesus’ teaching ministry centers in these words: “The kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:15). The Kingdom of God is the essence of the Church’s message and life. We are called to the Kingdom’s life and power in the present, while still anticipating its final fullness and consummation in the future.
