As we gather on this first Sunday of November, we are reminded to be thankful people. Over the next few Sundays, we will look to Scripture as it gives us reasons why we are to be thankful. This morning, we will read from Joshua 4. In this text, God gave Joshua directions to set up a visible reminder of what He had done for them. How are we remembering God s faithfulness in our own lives? In the evening, we continue looking at the Kingdom of Heaven phrases from the gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 18:1-4, Jesus reminds us that the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven must become like a child. With child-like faith, let us worship God today!
