[Music] [Music] [Music] is oh give thanks to the lord for he is good his mercy endures forever has the lord been good to you how many of you can testify that the lord has been good and is good in fact he's better than good the bible says that god is great and worthy to be praised the psalmist says we are to bless the lord at all times and his praise should continually be in our mouths how many of you have a praise of thanksgiving continually on your lips because when you look back have mercy when you look back at where you have been and what you have been through especially in this past year where you've had to endure a few things and suffer a few things and survive a few things and the fact that you're still here have mercy you're still breathing you're still standing and you have not completely lost your mind all you can do is give god the praise it's because of his loving kindness why we have not been consumed his mercies which are new every morning enables us to declare with boldness great is your faithfulness so we ought to give god the praise he deserves because our god has been too good to us much more than we deserve so in spite of what we've been through in spite of sickness and in spite of financial difficulty in spite of lockdown and restrictions in in spite of the mental turmoil in spite of who or what we have lost or what we have gained we are still to give god thanks why because it tells god if you if you never bless me with anything else in my life you are still good we serve a god who inhabits the praises of his people and it tells him that we believe that he can do what he says he will do our praises give god the opportunity to exercise his wonder working power in our lives so we give thanks not because life is good but because god is good we give thanks and so as we go into our time of prayer i want you to just reflect on how good god has been to you you may not be where you want to be but you are not where you used to be and so we give god thanks and so with heads bowed and eyes closed let us pray father in the name of jesus as i come before you this afternoon father not to ask for anything but to thank you for all that you are and all that you have done father we thank you for jesus who's made it possible who's made a way for us to come boldly to your throne of grace to receive mercy and find help in our time of need father that we

thank god for sparing my life till now i 19 2019 went home for vacation me my husband my son and my daughter-in-law we had fun but when we came back i found that i had a lump in my right breast natasha was away at camp so i did not do anything until she come back and she came she took me to the doctor and the doctor examined me and i looked at his face i said to him i've got cancer i'm tired and he said i'm not sure i refer you and about five days after that they referred me to the hospital i went and the lady said she believes that i've got cancer and the same time they made an appointment for me to have my operation the third of october god has been with me since five months and a half after i was cured of the cancer they said to me we do not want to see you again until one year's time which was march this year the 31st of march i had a monogram two weeks before and then they said to me it's perfect you're fine and i just want to thank god because this is a miracle he has worked right on me and he did that once before because there was a wednesday i came to pray a meeting and i asked the pastor to pray for me because it's thursday i had to go to the hospital for them to tell me when i had to let them have an operation on my knee and he said sister edwards let's pray for a miracle and he prayed and when i went to the hospital the doctor said to me i can't find nothing for to have an operation on your knee and that was the miracle that god wrote on me and i just want to thank my friends the church family all those who pray for me who call me and pray with me who gave me gifts and everything and i thank my family especially gloria john brian natasha and joseph elena they all rallied around me and they take care of me but natasha is my mom because she take me anywhere i wanted to go but not her alone my sons and my daughter-in-law i just called anyone they just take me and i had chemo not radiotherapy and not once did anybody come in to look at me because all the time god was taking care of me so i just want to thank god for his wonderful kindness to me and for my family that he has given to me because i have the best family in the world and thank you may god bless you all all those who pray for me and all those who love me and i love you all too amen [Music] me [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] please [Music] the [Music] [Music] oh [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Music] is oh [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Music] yes [Music] jesus [Music] is [Music] is [Music] so [Music] so [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] yes [Music] [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Music] yes [Music] [Music] happy sabbath boys and girls if we were in church i would say i can't hear you happy sabbath boys and girls and happy sabbath brethren i'm haley and i'm delighted to share a story with you on this special day today is not just sabbath but it's our day of praise and thanksgiving you may be wondering huh we're not in church things have been a little different or a lot different why should we praise i'm going to whiz through seven reasons why you and me should pray number one god will help you fight your battles what do you think this means god can help you with your schoolwork finding and making friends even when you're sick because when you praise it means you trust god to help you number two god will protect you we all now understand even more the importance of protection we need our ppe with prayer praise and evangelism aka sharing our love for jesus god will protect us number three god will refresh and renew your spirit if you're feeling a little bit sad worried or anxious praise can turn your sadness into gladness that frown upside down you just have to try sing your favorite song turn the music up and give god all the praise and thanks number four praise gives god a gift and an offering it's not just our offerings we bring to sabbath school that we can give to god but we can also praise him because he is worthy to be praised i know i love receiving and giving gifts so imagine how happy it makes jesus when we sing praises to his name and when we take the time to pray to him and to say thank you jesus for all that you have done for me number five praise makes your troubles smaller sometimes when we are sad all we think about is what made us upset it could be that someone took your favorite toy or your sibling hurt you but when we praise it can help us change our thoughts so when our praise gets bigger our troubles become smaller number six praise opens your eyes to blessings have you ever had chickenpox if you have you'll know that if you are around someone who hasn't had chickenpox they can catch it praise is a little bit similar when you praise it becomes contagious and you realize you can praise god for many things for your friends for your family for food for the opportunity to pray and then you can pass it on to others make your praise contagious and finally number seven god commands us to praise him because jesus loves us so much he knows that praise will help us psalms 150 verse 6 says let everything that has breath praise the [Music] the lord [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Music] praise the lord praise the lord praise the lord praise the lord praise him remember praise god for help protection to help you feel refreshed to give god an offering if you're feeling troubled if you want to say thank you and because you can now let's bow our heads and put our hands together little pray dear jesus please help us to give you praise whenever wherever and however we can thank you so much for our families our friends our food and our shelter and for giving us the opportunity to give you praise and to say thank you in jesus name we pray amen praise

find myself doing all wretched man that i am who shall deliver me from this body of death and that the last person concludes thank god for jesus christ it is who grafts us on as a branch to divine
