Monday, October 22, 2007 SERMON LINKS: Audio (MP3) \| Powerpoint (PPS) \| Outline (PDF) Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude! In this week's message we saw Paul emphasize three times the importance of living a life filled with thankfulness. So... what next? Here are a few suggestions for your next steps - from classes to further reading to online materials and more. For Further Thought: Read our key passage again - Colossians 3:15-17. What would change in your life if you let the peace of Christ be the "decider"? What decisions would you allow Him to make in your job? Your family? Does the presence of Christ overflow in your life through singing? If not, what is holding it back? What one specific thing do you need to do this week "in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father"? What are five more things after that? Would others say you circulate gratitude or grumpiness? Web Resources: Today's Verse - Colossians 3:16 (Heartlight) Gratitude (Our Daily Bread) 6 Creative Ways to Develop Gratitude (Christian Women Today) Memory Verse: *"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."* Colossians 3:17 NIV Colossians: We're currently studying the book of Colossians. Let's read the book each week. It's a short read, but packed with wisdom your heart needs to hear: Colossians 1 / Colossians 2 / Colossians 3 / Colossians 4 For Further Reading (and Listening): Shaped by the Word: The Power of Scripture in Spiritual Formation, by M. Robert Mulholland, Jr. Randy recommended this book highly on Sunday. Find out how to read your Bible for information and transformation. Spiritual Classics : Selected Readings for Individuals and Groups on the Twelve Spiritual Disciplines, by Richard J. Foster & Emilie Griffin Remedy, by David Crowder Band The Worship Collection, by Jeff Deyo. Includes the original recording of "Bless the Lord," along with more than a dozen tremendous modern worship songs. Highly recommended!
