1. For the next few weeks I want us to think about being thankful. Shakespeare said, ''O Lord! That lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.''

Thanksgiving should be a perpetual and continual practice in the life of those who are saved.
3. Today I want us to look at Psalm 100, which has been affectionately referred to as Old One-Hundred. The Psalmist is describing a public offering of thanksgiving. I want us to glean from the Psalm some truths about how we should come to Church with a thankful heart.

We read in verse 4 that we are to ''enter into His Gates'' and ''into His courts.'' The scene is of the Jewish people coming to the Temple to offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving to the Lord. Psalm 100 was actually used in the offering of Thanksgivin ...
