11/25/10 SEED THOUGHTS FOR THANKSGIVING SERVICE
I am posting verses in that I hope to reference during our praise service this morning. I hope everyone has a great service and day of fellowship.
THANKFUL
Luke 17:11-19
(11) And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
(12) And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
(13) And they lifted up their voices, and said, JESUS, MASTER, HAVE MERCY ON US.
(14) And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, AS THEY WENT, THEY WERE CLEANSED.
(15) AND ONE OF THEM, WHEN HE SAW THAT HE WAS HEALED, TURNED BACK, AND WITH A LOUD VOICE GLORIFIED GOD,
(16) AND FELL DOWN ON HIS FACE AT HIS FEET, GIVING HIM THANKS: AND HE WAS A SAMARITAN.
(17) And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? BUT WHERE ARE THE NINE?
(18) There are not found that returned TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD, SAVE THIS STRANGER.
(19) And he said unto him, Arise, GO THY WAY: THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE.
LOVING
Luke 7:40-50
(40) And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
(41) There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
(42) And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. TELL ME THEREFORE, WHICH OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MOST?
(43) Simon answered and said, I SUPPOSE THAT HE, TO WHOM HE FORGAVE MOST. AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, THOU HAST RIGHTLY JUDGED.
(44) And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
(45) Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
(46) My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
(47) Wherefore I say unto thee, HER SINS, WHICH ARE MANY, ARE FORGIVEN; FOR SHE LOVED MUCH: BUT TO WHOM LITTLE IS FORGIVEN, THE SAME LOVES LITTLE.
(48) And he said unto her, THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
(49) And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?
(50) And he said to the woman, THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE; GO IN PEACE.
BENEFITS...
LOADED WITH BENEFITS
Psalms 68:19
(19) BLESSED BE THE LORD, WHO DAILY LOADS US WITH BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
SPECIF BENEFITS
Psalms 103:2-6
(2) BLESS THE LORD, O my soul, and FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS:
(3) Who FORGIVES ALL thine iniquities; who HEALS ALL thy diseases;
(4) Who REDEEMS THY LIFE from destruction; who CROWNS THEE with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
(5) Who SATISFIES THY mouth with good things; so that THY YOUTH IS RENEWED like the eagle's.
(6) THE LORD EXECUTES RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGMENT FOR ALL THAT ARE OPPRESSED.
SPECIFIC RESPONSE FOR BENEFITS
Psalms 116:12-14
(12) WHAT SHALL I RENDER UNTO THE LORD for all his benefits toward me?
(13) I WILL TAKE THE CUP of salvation, and CALL UPON THE NAME of the LORD.
(14) I WILL PAY MY vows unto the LORD NOW IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL HIS PEOPLE.
Other passages and songs planned for beginning of service.
Psalms 126:1-6
(1) A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
(2) Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
(3) The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
(4) Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
(5) They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
(6) He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalms 100:1-5
(1) A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
(2) Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
(3) Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
(4) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
(5) For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.
Ephesians 5:18-20
(18) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
(19) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
(20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Colossians 3:15-17
(15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
(16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
(17) And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Ev'ry body sing praise to the LORD for He is so wonderful...
Wonderful, wonderful, Jesus is to me, Counselor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God is He...
