• Our text urges worship. • Modern worship has much to do with thanksgiving.

• Prayer is an opportunity to express thanksgiving. • “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Phil 4:6).
• Signing expresses thanksgiving. • “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and
making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Eph 5:19-20).
• Our giving connects with thanksgiving. • “The administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is
abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God” (2 Cor 9:12).
• “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift” (2 Cor 9:15).
