Thanksgiving as a Way of Life

The Radical Christian:
Thanksgiving as a Way of Life
(Genesis 4:1-9)
 
 I. Thanksgiving for the Promise of Forgiveness of Sins
Adam and Eve shed blood
Abel comes with blood sacrifice
Cain comes bloodless
Coming before God in the blood of the Lamb
 
 II. Thanksgiving for Everything
Eve acknowledged God for Cain
Cain’s capability and lack of acknowledgment
Abel’s incapability and acknowledgment
 
 III. Thanksgiving for Anything  
Entitlement Stiffles Thanksgiving (Adam and Eve, Cain)
Thanking God for His Grace (Abel, Widow, 1st Thanksgiving)
What Am I Really Entitled To?
 
 IV. Application
Why is an attitude of gratitude important to worship?
What can we do to develop the habit of thanksgiving?
Radical Christianity Starts with a Thankful Heart
