11:21 AM - Sunday Sermon (The Truth About Thankfulness) In timely accordance with the beginning of Thanksgiving week, this week's sermon was entitled "The Truth About Thankfulness." Pastor Newkirk explicated Philippians 4:6 for application in our everyday lives, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." The fundamental message presented today is that adoration and supplication in prayer are the essential tools in overcoming our anxieties. At the risk of sounding overly Buddhist, I would contend that prayer and meditation are of little use without some practical action to either reduce one's desires or fulfill one's genuine needs with respect to one's particular situation. Put another way, faith without works is dead. By way of personal application, my greatest anxieties at this point involve the ongoing deterioration of my home via a leaky roof up top and a rodent invasion on the ground. I could pray sincerely and tirelessly for a drought on the land and a plague upon the vermin, or else I could take active steps to fix the roof and kill the mice myself. Since I've not yet done either of these things, I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine which method would be more effective. (
