Dare to Give Thanks
Thanksgiving 101
Psalm 100 (ESV)
Â
Ø From this psalm we learn three basic truths about giving thanks:
Â
1.   Thanksgiving Is Joyful (vs. 1-2, 1 Chronicles 16:8–10, Philippians 4:4, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Romans 8:28, Romans 5:3–5)
Â
2.   Thanksgiving Is Relational (Matthew 15:8–9)
Â
- How can we enter into an intimate knowledge of God?
a)Â Â Â We must return to God (Isaiah 53:6, 1 Peter 2:25, John 17:3)
b)Â Â Â We must grow in knowledge (2 Peter 3:18, Colossians 3:16)
Â
3.      Thanksgiving Is Communal (Psalm 34:3, Psalm 149:1–3)
