Sermon Notes for January 4 & 5, 2025


A Simple “Thank You” Will Do
Hear The Call
Psalm 50 (and lots of other verses)


  1. Hear The Call - “Give Thanks to God.”

    • God is the Giver of every Perfect Gift, James 1:17.

    • So Give Him Thanks, Psalm 100.

  2. Two Wrong Ways and One Right Way, Psalm 50.
    A. Two Indictments Against God’s People.
    - God convenes His court, 50:1-6.


    - Indictment #1 against the religious formalists, 50:7-13.


    - Indictment #2 against the religious hypocrite, 50:16-22.


    B. What God really wants, 50:14-15, 23.

Applications for Life:
1. Ask God to help you grow in an attitude of gratitude.


2. Ask God to help you see His hand of grace and mercy more clearly in life.


3. Start a daily list of things you can thank God for - and refer back to it often.


4. When something bad happens, ask God to help you see His hand in it and thank Him instead of complaining.


5. Carve out time in your small group or discipleship group to bring your thank-offerings to the Lord.
