Thanksgiving is the most biblical of the holidays. Elder Harter brings us a message from Luke 17:11, where Jesus heals the ten lepers, but only one gives thanks.

Elder Darrell Chambers from Woodville, Alabama is our guest speaker this Sunday. From Colossians 3:4, he shows us that Christ is our life — not only our physical life, but our spiritual life, and eventually our glorified life when we will one day live with Him in heaven. But for now, this day, He is our life. Let us live for Him.

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus was not crucified on “Good Friday”. The Bible clearly states that Jesus was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. He must have died on Wednesday to be in the grave for the 3 full days and nights, to be raised from the dead before the dawning of Easter Sunday. The sign that the Pharisees sought was proshesied in Matthew 12:39-40. Jesus would be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights, just as Jonas was in the whale’s belly for three days and three nights.

In Matthew 12:38, the Pharisees asked Jesus for a sign to prove that he is the Son of God. He refused. But Elder David Pyles shows us that Jesus is exactly what a reasonable thinking person would expect of God manifested in the flesh. In this, Jesus is indeed His own sign.

From 1 Peter 3:15, we should, “be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you…” Elder David Pyles gives us some short succinct explanations to give others to show what we believe as primitive Baptists.

Elder Sonny Pyles brings us a sermon from John 17:10, where Jesus says, “And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.” Legally, there are many ways one may possess something and make it “mine.” This list from a law book corresponds nicely to the ways the Bible describes that Jesus has claimed us as His own:

1. By purchase
2. By creating
3. By inheritance
4. By marriage
5. By birth
6. By adoption
7. By finding

Elder David Pyles teaches us that “the law is not made for a righteous man”, quoting from 1 Timothy 1:9. Laws are given, because they are already being broken. The lesson is that following the golden rule will cause a man to far exceed the need of the law.
