Summary
Would you open your Bibles, please, with me this morning, to the book of Joshua in the Old Testament, the fourth chapter, if you're using a Pew edition of Holy Scripture, you're going to find that on page 181 in the Old Testament. I think, for example, in Psalm 92, the Scripture says, it is good to give thanks to the Lord to sing praises to your name, almost high, or Colossians 3. And so, beginning today, and then the three sermons that are going to follow, we're going to focus very simply on giving thanks for today, giving thanks for our tomorrow's, giving thanks for our forever's. There the Scripture says, for the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you crossed over as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we crossed over. He says in verse 9 of chapter one he says for this reason since the day we heard it we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord fully pleasing to him as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. It's rooted in the yesterday of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ rooted in the yesterday when we were redeemed when we were bought back when our sin was atoned for when the blood of the creation affected when the wrath of God for all of our darkness was laid upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
