Be Thankful for Your Food and Show It

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ:
When Solomon was king silver was treated as stones. With all that wealth, he was known to have imported all kinds of exotic foods. He even developed new ways to grow exotic foods. He loved exotic wines. He even developed new ways to grow foreign grapes. The Queen of Sheba brought exotic spices for food! Food was a big part of his life. And then there was the volume of food! You can read a list of all the foods that were cooked just for the palace each day! There was a huge staff just to procure and prepare foods!

But any good thing can become a bad thing if it were not handled correctly. And being a good father and a wise leader, he spoke to his children about how to deal with food issues. He started with thanksgiving for food, of course, but it did not end there. These other issues you will hear about for our Thanksgiving worship.

Our headings are:

1. You Must Work hard for your food
2. You Must Learn to use your food well
3. Your Must Share your food with the needy

Our goals are that:
As the redeemed children of Christ, you will learn how to get, use, and share your food.
