Thanksgiving | Recognizing the Goodness of the Giver - Season 5, Episode 126
Are we more interested in what God gives us or in knowing the God who gives? In an entitled age, believers can tear through blessings like presents on a birthday, counting what they missed instead of thanking the One who gave. Preaching from Psalm 107, Pastor Joshua shows that goodness is not merely what God does but who He is, a character no circumstance can change. Through the psalm's wanderers, prisoners, rebels, and storm-tossed sailors, he illuminates how God reveals His mercy in both blessings and burdens, and why the psalmist's fourfold cry, "Oh that men would praise the Lord," calls for a response of worship. Listeners are challenged to move from thanking God for something to praising Him for who He is.
