00:00:20.700 |
I'm glad that we could gather together in these small groups 00:00:24.380 |
to fellowship, to share in a meal and spend time together. 00:00:31.180 |
having service together and then being able to, 00:00:35.900 |
And so tonight we're gonna be spending time in worship, 00:00:43.580 |
So at this time, please join me in a word of prayer 00:00:53.880 |
we would be a people so considerate and thoughtful of you. 00:01:03.800 |
God, that above and beyond any blessing in this earth, 00:01:08.320 |
we have the blessings of Christ and of the Spirit. 00:01:10.600 |
And I pray that our hearts would be thankful always 00:01:15.080 |
And Lord, as we have time now to gather together 00:01:18.800 |
in these groups, we pray that we would be very aware 00:01:28.520 |
to be able to enjoy this time and also to remember you. 00:01:32.760 |

All right, am I looking in the right direction? 00:13:25.080 |
hopefully you had a opportunity to eat your food 00:13:35.080 |
there's about 29 different groups spread out in the region. 00:13:51.080 |
But hopefully you guys can enjoy the time together. 00:14:06.080 |
for the blessing that you've given our community 00:14:09.080 |
that we can gather together in homes, in various places 00:14:19.080 |
for your grace and love that you pour upon us. 00:14:29.080 |
and as we will be reminded again, Father God, 00:14:47.080 |
I mentioned this maybe about as early as I can remember, 00:14:52.080 |
I've noticed that Thanksgiving is slowly disappearing. 00:14:55.080 |
And outside of the church, I'm not hearing this, 00:15:01.080 |
There's already advertisements going out about Black Friday, 00:15:04.080 |
and I see Christmas decorations going up early and earlier. 00:15:08.080 |
But if there's one holiday that, as Christians, 00:15:19.080 |
And so I was kind of wrestling through the years, 00:15:21.080 |
and especially this year, why is Thanksgiving disappearing? 00:15:26.080 |
This is not just--it's not like Columbus Day, 00:15:28.080 |
we have one day and then people forget about it. 00:15:32.080 |
Some of the schools are off for the whole week. 00:15:34.080 |
You know, I don't know anybody who's working on Thanksgiving, 00:15:37.080 |
other than, you know, some of you guys who are, you know. 00:15:41.080 |
But why is this--why is Thanksgiving disappearing? 00:15:48.080 |
and why do you think Thanksgiving is disappearing? 00:15:52.080 |
and, you know, one of the theories that came up 00:15:54.080 |
is that maybe because of this new woke movement 00:16:00.080 |
didn't treat the initial Native Americans right, 00:16:12.080 |
But the more I contemplate, I think part of the reason 00:16:15.080 |
why this day seems less and less significant, 00:16:20.080 |
where there's all kinds of shopping going on, 00:16:25.080 |
If there's any one particular season of the year 00:16:28.080 |
where we can be, you know, we can focus our attentions, 00:16:39.080 |
and then we're already thinking about Christmas, 00:16:44.080 |
And so I think that desire to get Christmas coming 00:16:50.080 |
and Thanksgiving is just an excuse to do that. 00:17:00.080 |
in the last days, and I'm not going to read the thing 00:17:14.080 |
Those three things he says, the lover of self. 00:17:20.080 |
The Instagram culture, where we're kind of like 00:17:25.080 |
And again, there's nothing wrong with Instagram 00:17:31.080 |
more than any time that I can remember in my life. 00:17:42.080 |
that Thanksgiving is basically going to be weeded out. 00:17:46.080 |
In other words, part of the reason why Thanksgiving 00:17:48.080 |
is being weeded out is because there's constantly 00:17:58.080 |
this bucket list that we created for ourselves, 00:18:12.080 |
you're naturally not thankful because you don't have it. 00:18:15.080 |
And so we live in a culture where we are bombarded, 00:18:19.080 |
whether it's things, whether it's experience, 00:18:27.080 |
And as a result of that, it says that there's going 00:18:30.080 |
to hold onto a form of godliness while denying its power. 00:18:34.080 |
If our hearts are filled with self-centeredness, 00:18:37.080 |
with ungratefulness, naturally the end result 00:18:45.080 |
we're going to sing the songs, we're going to gather together, 00:18:47.080 |
and we might sit around tables and try to think about 00:18:50.080 |
what are we thankful for, but it's not an overflowing 00:18:57.080 |
And Pastor Peter mentioned this morning in Romans 121, 00:19:00.080 |
that although they knew God, they did not honor him as God 00:19:03.080 |
or give thanks to him, but they became futile 00:19:06.080 |
in their thinking, corrupt in their thinking, 00:19:12.080 |
If I was to ask you, what are you thankful for, 00:19:17.080 |
which is probably what we're going to be doing 00:19:20.080 |
during Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for? 00:19:22.080 |
And you'll probably sit and contemplate and say, 00:19:24.080 |
I'm thankful for my parents, I'm thankful for my husband, 00:19:27.080 |
my wife, my children, and we go through this list, 00:19:36.080 |
But if I was to ask you, what's bothering you? 00:19:56.080 |
They feel comfortable with you enough to be able 00:19:58.080 |
to open up themselves, and we don't have a problem 00:20:00.080 |
because we already have a list that we're bothered by. 00:20:06.080 |
Our natural conditioned heart is to focus on the things 00:20:09.080 |
that we are not happy about, focus on the things 00:20:13.080 |
And so if we're not intentional about being grateful, 00:20:17.080 |
our natural inclination is to focus on the things 00:20:24.080 |
that as Christians we gather together and be intentional. 00:20:28.080 |
So the opposite of thankfulness is ungratefulness 00:20:35.080 |
And the Bible is filled with warning about grumbling. 00:20:39.080 |
In Hebrews 12:15, he says, "See to it that no one fails 00:20:42.080 |
to obtain the grace of God, that no root of bitterness 00:20:50.080 |
Do you notice here how he says the root of bitterness? 00:20:56.080 |
but the root of bitterness, meaning bitterness is the root 00:21:05.080 |
So bitterness and grumbling in heart is the beginning 00:21:11.080 |
And so there's a warning in Hebrews 12, 15 to watch out 00:21:18.080 |
1 Corinthians 10, 9-10, it warns us about the nation of Israel 00:21:25.080 |
We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, 00:21:28.080 |
talking about Israelites during the 40 years of wandering, 00:21:31.080 |
and were destroyed by serpents, nor grumble, as some of them did, 00:21:45.080 |
They're constantly asking God to prove himself. 00:21:48.080 |
If you're really God and you really care about us, 00:21:51.080 |
you should be doing this, this, and this, and this. 00:21:54.080 |
So first thing that they were doing is they were constantly 00:22:09.080 |
When God didn't act the way that they wanted God to act, 00:22:14.080 |
And so the history of Israel during the desert is testing God, 00:22:20.080 |
and when God didn't pass the test, they would grumble. 00:22:23.080 |
And as a result of their grumbling, it's as some of them did 00:22:30.080 |
So the root of bitterness comes from testing God. 00:22:44.080 |
And then obviously when things don't work out, 00:22:46.080 |
we tend to grumble, and grumbling is what leads to destruction. 00:22:50.080 |
The Israelites, I think, there's many things that we can say about the Israelites, 00:22:55.080 |
but the period of Israel in the desert, you can say it was a period of grumbling. 00:23:00.080 |
In Exodus 14, 11-12, as soon as God delivered, 00:23:04.080 |
they saw God's power delivered them from the Pharaoh. 00:23:12.080 |
and this bunch of people who were just slaves, 00:23:18.080 |
and you would think that they would just be awed, 00:23:23.080 |
But as soon as they get into trouble, they hit the river, 00:23:26.080 |
and they see Pharaoh coming, and they get scared. 00:23:31.080 |
They said to Moses, "Is it because there are no graves in Egypt 00:23:34.080 |
that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?" 00:23:40.080 |
"What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? 00:23:46.080 |
Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians." 00:23:53.080 |
But as soon as they ran into the wall, and they got scared, 00:24:00.080 |
Is he actually going to show up? Pharaoh's actually coming. 00:24:02.080 |
After all of that, he says, "Oh, I never wanted to come out." 00:24:06.080 |
"I never asked you to deliver us," even though the Bible is very clear. 00:24:10.080 |
The only reason why God answered them is because they were crying out to God, 00:24:16.080 |
But here it says, "Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians, 00:24:19.080 |
for it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians 00:24:24.080 |
That was the beginning, beginning of God's deliverance. 00:24:37.080 |
When they got the food, they got tired of the food and said, 00:24:41.080 |
They grumbled about the inhabitants of the promised land. 00:24:44.080 |
"You brought us out here to fight with these people?" 00:24:47.080 |
Then eventually the grumbling led to the leaders. 00:24:56.080 |
"All of your grumbling is not a grumbling to me or to people." 00:25:01.080 |
He says, "Ultimately, it's a grumbling to God." 00:25:05.080 |
"Your grumblings are not against us, but against the Lord." 00:25:09.080 |
They were known to be grumblers, constantly complaining, 00:25:15.080 |
Again, our natural tendency is when we are not intentional. 00:25:22.080 |
our natural intention, our natural inclination is 00:25:28.080 |
"Oh, he has that car. How come I don't have it?" 00:25:31.080 |
"Oh, their family is like this, but how come we don't have it?" 00:25:33.080 |
"Oh, they're able to experience that, but how come I don't have it?" 00:25:42.080 |
Then eventually, the root of bitterness of grumbling leads to destruction. 00:25:48.080 |
You guys have known or heard that somebody in California won $2 billion. 00:25:54.080 |
I'm sure all of you have fantasized that maybe I should have bought that ticket. 00:26:01.080 |
If I bought that ticket, I said, "Okay, basketball court's going up. 00:26:03.080 |
We're going to buy that building and the building next to it 00:26:10.080 |
Every time I go to India, I'm going to go first class. 00:26:18.080 |
and as soon as they won $2 billion, you see articles coming up saying, 00:26:28.080 |
if you calculate the taxes and if you calculate all the fees 00:26:31.080 |
that they have to pay, he actually only gets-- 00:26:34.080 |
this is the actual number that they came up with-- 00:26:36.080 |
he only gets $300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. 00:26:42.080 |
It's not actually $2 billion that he's going to get. 00:26:56.080 |
If the tone of the article is, "They're going to take away all of that 00:27:01.080 |
after taxes and after all the fees are paid," 00:27:06.080 |
It's not $2 billion. It's only $634,000,000,000. 00:27:13.080 |
every Christian who lives every single day grumbling and complaining 00:27:23.080 |
That $2 billion, we can live out our fantasy for a short period of time, 00:27:37.080 |
the creator of the universe who $2 billion is chump change to him. 00:27:41.080 |
He can literally get gold coins out of the mouth of the fish, 00:27:48.080 |
And that Abba Father says, "Call me your father." 00:27:51.080 |
"If my words are provided to you, ask whatever you wish." 00:27:56.080 |
"Ask whatever you wish," he said, "it shall be done for you." 00:28:00.080 |
And that was given to us freely by the blood of Christ. 00:28:04.080 |
And yet we have a tendency to forget about that. 00:28:12.080 |
You mean I have to love them? I got to do this? I don't have that?" 00:28:19.080 |
As silly as that sounds, that's exactly what it must sound like to God. 00:28:24.080 |
For the Israelites to be grumbling they don't have water, 00:28:27.080 |
they don't have food, or they don't have variety of food. 00:28:34.080 |
"Do all things without grumbling or questioning." 00:28:36.080 |
Do all things without grumbling or questioning. 00:28:41.080 |
children of God, without blemish, in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation." 00:28:45.080 |
You notice here the crooked and twisted generation, 00:28:48.080 |
the quality that he describes is a generation that is grumbling and complaining. 00:28:53.080 |
He says, "You be different, be blameless and innocent, 00:29:02.080 |
Unlike the rest of the world who's constantly living their lives 00:29:05.080 |
comparing and discontent and grumbling and bitter, 00:29:10.080 |
that we live as people who have been delivered 00:29:23.080 |
that I did not run in vain or labor in vain." 00:29:31.080 |
That's why whenever you see a church filled with young people, 00:29:41.080 |
there tends to be a little bit lesser life or joy. 00:29:47.080 |
But part of the reason why that happens is because as you live, 00:29:50.080 |
life has a tendency to suck the joy out of you. 00:29:57.080 |
the honeymoon period of your marriage is behind you. 00:30:05.080 |
And then you have kids and that initial excitement of having kids 00:30:09.080 |
and now you're raising them, waking up and they're sick and they're tired 00:30:13.080 |
and they're selfish and they say hurtful things. 00:30:18.080 |
Then life eventually doesn't turn out the way you thought. 00:30:21.080 |
By the time you were 30, you thought you were going to be a millionaire. 00:30:24.080 |
By the time you were 40, you thought you were going to have kids. 00:30:27.080 |
By the time you're 50, you're going to have this. 00:30:29.080 |
That's why people go through a midlife crisis 00:30:31.080 |
because life doesn't turn out the way that they were hoping, 00:30:36.080 |
We're talking about the whole world experiences this. 00:30:39.080 |
So the older we get, the more discontent we get, 00:30:46.080 |
So it's very difficult to get old people excited 00:30:49.080 |
because we've been disappointed over and over and over again. 00:30:53.080 |
If we're not careful, that is the path that we're all on. 00:31:01.080 |
What you see in the older generation that said, 00:31:04.080 |
"I'm not going to be like that when I get older." 00:31:06.080 |
I guarantee you 100% that's exactly where you're headed. 00:31:13.080 |
They said the same thing when they were your age. 00:31:17.080 |
And the generation before that said the same thing when they were younger. 00:31:20.080 |
But life has a tendency to suck you in to the same path. 00:31:27.080 |
But the difference for Christians is that we are to go against the tide. 00:31:34.080 |
That's why it says, "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. 00:31:37.080 |
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 00:31:41.080 |
In Genesis 50:20, even in the most dire situation, 00:31:45.080 |
Joseph says, "What you meant for evil, God meant for good." 00:31:49.080 |
So the source of our joy and happiness and thanksgiving 00:31:55.080 |
That through Jesus, that what they can't get by themselves, 00:31:59.080 |
we can get through prayer and if we're good to God. 00:32:07.080 |
Christian joy is not based upon what they can have. 00:32:14.080 |
The things that the world complains about, we rejoice over. 00:32:18.080 |
Things that people grumble about in the world, we rejoice over. 00:32:21.080 |
And the reason why we rejoice over it is what seems to be evil, God means for good. 00:32:28.080 |
What seems to be evil on the surface, God meant it for good 00:32:38.080 |
As we are going to break up and take some time to have discussion with our groups, 00:32:44.080 |
what causes the greatest joy, gratitude, and worship in your life? 00:32:53.080 |
When we are given something tremendous that you didn't deserve, 00:33:01.080 |
And there's a reason why the Bible says that He's given to us salvation by grace. 00:33:09.080 |
He says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith that is not of yourself, 00:33:35.080 |
He said salvation was given to you by the grace of God 00:33:42.080 |
So that you would recognize the tremendous gift that God has given you 00:33:49.080 |
2 Corinthians 4:15, "For it is all for your sake so that as grace extends to more and more people, 00:33:56.080 |
it may increase thanksgiving to the glory of God." 00:33:59.080 |
As grace increases, as our appreciation and love for what Christ has done for us increases, 00:34:10.080 |
So when you see somebody who is always thankful as a Christian, 00:34:14.080 |
it's because they understand grace more than you. 00:34:20.080 |
They recognize what they have in Christ more than you. 00:34:24.080 |
And so part of what it means to grow spiritually is to become more like that, right? 00:34:30.080 |
Recognizing that you and I have won the biggest lottery spiritually. 00:34:35.080 |
And for the rest of our lives that we celebrate this lottery that he's given us, 00:34:39.080 |
that no matter what happens in this life, that we have a mansion waiting for us. 00:34:47.080 |
No matter what happens, no matter what you're going through, 00:34:50.080 |
what the world meant for evil, God meant for good. 00:34:54.080 |
I'm going to give you some practical things to think about. 00:34:59.080 |
You know, years ago, the first time I went to Together for the Gospel, 00:35:11.080 |
But I remember going to that Together for the Gospel, 00:35:13.080 |
and I was really excited because it was people from all different backgrounds. 00:35:23.080 |
And everybody, like we agreed on the same doctrines, core doctrines, 00:35:30.080 |
And I was so encouraged to be a part of that group because I felt like, you know, 00:35:36.080 |
this is like the universal church coming together to praise God. 00:35:40.080 |
But I remember my experience very clearly because there's some guys that I would meet, 00:35:45.080 |
and the first question that they would ask me after they would ask me, "What's your name?" 00:35:53.080 |
What do you think about the doctrine of grace? 00:35:55.080 |
What is your position on this, and what is your position on that?" 00:35:57.080 |
So it's almost kind of like they're jockeying to say, "Can I fellowship with you?" 00:36:05.080 |
And so everything became kind of like, "Okay, I've got to prove myself to this group. 00:36:09.080 |
I've got to say the right things to this group." 00:36:11.080 |
But there was a group of people that I met that was there praising God, and they said, 00:36:25.080 |
They're just happy to be there, and they say, "Hey, you going out to eat with anybody? 00:36:29.080 |
They would invite me, and they'd say, "Where do you live?" 00:36:38.080 |
But they were just so excited to meet me, and they said, "Hey, if you're ever in Tennessee, 00:36:50.080 |
But just the fact that he met another Christian, he was just excited, and I started meeting 00:36:58.080 |
So my first inclination is, "What's wrong with these people?" 00:37:05.080 |
Do they not know that we may not have the same doctrines? 00:37:08.080 |
Do they not know that we come from different backgrounds? 00:37:17.080 |
The reason why that stood out to me is because I was not like that. 00:37:29.080 |
But when I saw the joy that they had, I remember what it was like to be like that. 00:37:38.080 |
And fellowship that happened because they met another Christian. 00:37:51.080 |
They were acting like they got something for free, and they're just eager to share it with 00:37:59.080 |
But as time goes by, you experience hardship and pain. 00:38:08.080 |
I know now, after so many years of being a Christian, I can tell a troublemaker coming 00:38:18.080 |
The way they talk, the way they act, it's like, "Oh, that guy's going to be trouble." 00:38:22.080 |
Then immediately my inclination is to guard my heart, stiff-arm them, just be cordial. 00:38:28.080 |
Because I can recognize them much earlier than before. 00:38:32.080 |
So I don't want to be caught off guard like before. 00:38:35.080 |
I tend to rejoice over what's happening at our church. 00:38:40.080 |
When I see fruits at our church, when our church is growing. 00:38:43.080 |
But when I see what's happening down there, I'm skeptical. 00:38:52.080 |
Maybe the people who are going over there are not as serious as people coming over here. 00:38:56.080 |
So I have a tendency to be excited about what's happening over here, but not about the 00:39:02.080 |
I tend to rejoice over things that directly affect me. 00:39:08.080 |
But what's happening around the world, what's happening, what God is doing with other 00:39:12.080 |
Christians, other missionaries, other churches, it doesn't affect me as much. 00:39:17.080 |
So what causes me to be thankful usually is self-centered. 00:39:21.080 |
My thoughts naturally gravitate toward things that are bothering me. 00:39:29.080 |
Like today, I'm going to have to work to tell you this is what I'm grateful for. 00:39:38.080 |
But if you spend enough time with me, it will start to leak out what bothers me. 00:39:43.080 |
What kind of hardship there is in the church. 00:40:03.080 |
And this is why Thanksgiving is so important. 00:40:07.080 |
Because if we're not intentional, that's where we naturally drift toward. 00:40:13.080 |
And when we're not praising God in our hearts, we hold on to a form of godliness. 00:40:24.080 |
We share the gospel, but we're just sharing information. 00:40:30.080 |
So what I want to encourage us this evening as we get into our small groups is Philippians 4, 8 through 9. 00:40:44.080 |
We fight and be intentional about being thankful. 00:40:53.080 |
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure. 00:41:01.080 |
If there's any excellence and if there's anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 00:41:07.080 |
So we want to take some time to dwell on these things in our groups, home groups, in our small groups. 00:41:13.080 |
And there's four questions that was emailed out to you. 00:41:18.080 |
And I'm going to pray or I'm going to ask the praise team to come back up. 00:41:21.080 |
And they're going to sing and then we're going to end and let you go back to your groups. 00:41:25.080 |
What is it about your salvation that you are the most thankful for? 00:41:30.080 |
Specifically, not just I got saved, you know, but what is it about specifically about your salvation are you the most thankful for? 00:41:37.080 |
Number two, would people who are the closest to you describe you as a bitter or discontent person or a joyful person? 00:41:50.080 |
But I'm talking about the people who know you behind the scene. 00:41:53.080 |
When you don't have your guards up, do they know you as a joyful, thankful, worshipful person or discontent, bitter and grumbling? 00:42:02.080 |
Three, how does an unthankful spirit affect your daily life? 00:42:07.080 |
How does it affect the quality of your worship and obedience to God? 00:42:11.080 |
Four, how can we restore an attitude of gratitude on a daily basis? 00:42:16.080 |
Specifically, how can we be intentional so that we can worship God in spirit and in truth? 00:42:22.080 |
Let me pray for us and let me ask the praise team to come back up. 00:42:25.080 |
Then after the praise is finished, we'll release you to your groups. 00:42:30.080 |
OK, let me pray for us as our worship team comes up. 00:42:35.080 |
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the time that you've given us to be intentional about Thanksgiving. 00:42:45.080 |
Lord, if our hearts have drifted and that we are externally working so hard to be righteous, 00:42:54.080 |
but yet the heart of true worship has drifted from us for a long time. 00:43:02.080 |
Help us, Lord God, to be intentional, to be deliberate, to fight, Lord God, toward our thoughts, our hearts, what we feel. 00:43:11.080 |
Restore in us a joy of our salvation, that we may be people who worship you in spirit and in truth. 00:43:38.080 |
Should nothing of our efforts stand, no legacy survive. 00:43:52.080 |
Unless the Lord does raise the house in vain, His builders strive. 00:44:06.080 |
To you who boast tomorrow's gain, tell me what is your life? 00:44:20.080 |
Amidst the vanishes at dawn, all glory be to Christ. 00:44:34.080 |
All glory be to Christ our King, all glory be to Christ. 00:44:49.080 |
His ruling will ever sing, all glory be to Christ. 00:45:07.080 |
His will be done, His kingdom come on earth as is above. 00:45:21.080 |
Who wins Himself our daily bread, praise Him, the Lord of love. 00:45:36.080 |
Let living water satisfy the thirsty without price. 00:45:50.080 |
We'll take a cup of kindness yet, all glory be to Christ. 00:46:04.080 |
All glory be to Christ our King, all glory be to Christ. 00:46:18.080 |
His ruling reign will ever sing, all glory be to Christ. 00:46:36.080 |
When on the day of great I Am, the faithful and the true, 00:46:50.080 |
the Lamb who was for sinners slain is making all things new. 00:47:05.080 |
Behold, our God shall live with us and be our steadfast light. 00:47:19.080 |
And we shall there His people be, all glory be to Christ. 00:47:33.080 |
All glory be to Christ our King, all glory be to Christ. 00:47:47.080 |
His ruling reign will ever sing, all glory be to Christ. 00:48:02.080 |
All glory be to Christ our King, all glory be to Christ. 00:48:16.080 |
His ruling reign will ever sing, all glory be to Christ. 00:48:32.080 |
Alright, for those discussion questions that Pastor Peter Kim mentioned, 00:48:42.080 |
they've been emailed out to every host of each group, but also they're posted on our generic Facebook group on the Berean Community Church Facebook group. 00:48:51.080 |
Alright, so at this time, please go ahead and go into your groups to discuss. 00:48:55.080 |
Have a great night of fellowship and discussion, everyone. Good night.
