Yeah, we appreciate the singing and playing.

If you would turn to two openings this evening, 1 Corinthians, 15th chapter,

then we'll look right over at 2nd Corinthians, the second chapter.

First Corinthians, 15.

For some weeks now, we've been on a series we're calling thanksgiving victory is there a connection well there is and if you only it, you can thank your way out of darkness into the light.

You can thank your way.

I'm not thanking God.

Out of bondage into liberty.

You can thank your way out of poverty into plenty.

Or you can gripe your way out of abundance into lack.

You can complain your way out of freedom into bondage.

Did you know no matter what's going on, how good it is, you can find something to gripe about?

Did you know that?

There are people that are multi-billionaires.

They got everything you could buy with money.

And yet they're gripe all day long.

That's not exactly the way I wanted it.

That's not this.

You know, I didn't want that shade.

I wanted that shade.

Did you know there are people that sleep on a dirt floor that go all day and don't gripe?

And every time you see them, they're smiling.
