Summary

On today's special edition of Family Talk, Pastor Chuck Swindoll, in a timeless sermon on the topic gratitude, reflects on Psalm 103, in which King David expresses thanks to God for pardoning his sin, redeeming his life from the pit, and crowning him with love and compassion. The lyrics of the classic hymn, "It Is Well with My Soul," reveals why we are so grateful. "My sin, not in part but the whole; Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!" That is true redemption indeed!
