Even though the pandemic may change Thanksgiving celebrations this year, Americans still express thankfulness for their family and friends.

Thankfulness in Preaching, By Dr. Hershael York

Receiving God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ should shape a grateful heart as much as it compels a forgiving spirit. Grace and gratitude go hand in hand. Liberated from slavery to sin, redeemed people are grateful people. Gratitude, thanksgiving, and praise are, therefore, central to worship. “It is good to give thanks to the Lord!” (Ps 92:1). “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!” (Ps 118:1, 29). Even Jesus’ prayers often began with thanksgiving (John 11:41; Luke 10:21).

Honoring Jay Adams (1929-2020), By Dr. Dale Johnson

Now many of you may already know that the founder of nouthetic counseling and the leader and founder of NANC, or now ACBC, passed away on November the 14th, Dr. Jay Adams. I want to spend this time today doing exactly what Scripture calls us to do in Hebrews 13:7, “Remember your leaders, those who spoke the Word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.” I think it’s appropriate even on this week of Thanksgiving that we honor Jay, and that we demonstrate gratitude. There are a thousand ways that we can be thankful and grateful and one of the ways that Scripture tells us to be grateful is that we honor those who have passed the Word of God down to us.
