In this week's message, Kerry explores the transformative phrase "Thanks be to God" - moving it from mere liturgical expression to a genuine declaration of faith and victory in Jesus Christ.
Drawing from personal experiences growing up in a small West Texas United Methodist Church, Kerry shares how Scripture corrected his initial skepticism about traditional worship phrases. Through the Apostle Paul's six declarations of "Thanks be to God" found throughout Romans and Corinthians, we discover these aren't casual expressions but powerful shouts of praise.
Key Scripture References:
Psalm 100:1-5 & 107:1-2
Romans 6:17-18, 7:24-25, 8:1-2
1 Corinthians 15:55-57
2 Corinthians 2:12-15, 8:16-17, 9:15
Luke 22:19
The Six Shouts:
1. The Freedom Shout (Romans 6)
2. Another Freedom Shout (Romans 7-8)
3. The Victory Shout (1 Corinthians 15)
4. The Triumphal Shout (2 Corinthians 2)
5. The Reality Shout (2 Corinthians 8)
6. The Indescribable Shout (2 Corinthians 9)
Kerry challenges us to move from being "abouters" - those who are always about to give thanks - to becoming "shouters" who actively declare gratitude to God. This message culminates in a beautiful reflection on how Jesus Himself gave thanks before instituting communion, even knowing the suffering that awaited Him.
Main Message: An attitude set in a position of gratitude creates a mind fixed on the altitude of heavenly things.
