Thanksgiving as Worship
Colossians 2:6-7
Hebrews 12:28
Pastor Jerry Koller
Colossians 2:6-7
Hebrews 12:28
Pastor Jerry Koller
Some other translations say so walk in Him.
Receiving Christ and living in Him has to do with being rooted. Rooted means to be firmly planted or established.
Illustration
Receiving Christ and living in Him has to do with being rooted and built up. Built up has to do with building upon a foundation. Built up reflect growth.
Rooted and built up are paired together. But there is another pairing in verse 7. One part has to do with being strengthened in the faith.
· Strengthened has to do with being established or confirmed.
· Established means to validate something.
· Confirmed means to strengthen or make more firm.
· The other part of this pairing has to do with overflowing. It means to be over and above, to abound; to have in abundance. It means to flow past(or beyond) the limits.
· Strengthened has to do with being established or confirmed.
· Established means to validate something.
· Confirmed means to strengthen or make more firm.
· The other part of this pairing has to do with overflowing. It means to be over and above, to abound; to have in abundance. It means to flow past(or beyond) the limits.
· This kingdom is the Kingdom of God.
· Entrance into this kingdom has been provided for us through Jesus Christ.
· It is a kingdom that cannot be conquered.
· It cannot be overcome.
· Even the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. It cannot be shaken. · The only way this kingdom can be conquered, overcome, or shaken is if God could be conquered, overcome, or shaken.
· Entrance into this kingdom has been provided for us through Jesus Christ.
· It is a kingdom that cannot be conquered.
· It cannot be overcome.
· Even the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. It cannot be shaken. · The only way this kingdom can be conquered, overcome, or shaken is if God could be conquered, overcome, or shaken.
· The word service is a word that has to do with worship.
· Reverence has to do with showing respect and honor.
· Awe is an overwhelming sense of wonder and admiration.
· It is often referred to as Godly fear.

Worship is an active response to God whereby we declare His worth.
Active—Worship is not something that is passive.
Response—A response is a process that occurs because of a stimulus.
To God—Worship is an active response to God!
Declaration of Worth—The active response is a declaration of God’s worth.
APPLICATION

Oktoberfest: A Time of Thankfulness
We are greatly humbled by the generosity of our congregation. So far, this year’s offering, combined with pledges, is a total of $47,500. We thank you for your faithfulness, especially during such challenging times, and look forward to seeing how God will use our building in the year ahead as we continue to “Know Him and Make Him Known.” If you would still like to make a contribution to this fund, please drop your gift in the regular offering with the notation of “Oktoberfest.”
