With last Thursday being Thanksgiving each of us found things to be thankful for. But most people only consider physical things and too few give thanks to God. In this sermon Mr. Smith looks at the things people are most thankful for and then looks at what the Bible says we should be most thankful for, things that we often refer to by using the word precious. Most in the world value things like wealth, fame and power, but what should we be thankful for? Mr. Smith answers this by showing us from the Bible things that we should be most thankful for such as: God's truth, His law, our calling and even trials that bring spiritual growth in our lives.
