If you didn't bring a Bible with you this evening, we have extra Bibles.

Be glad to let you use one of ours.

Raise your hand.

Use one of our Bibles.

Let's all turn in the scripture to 1st Corinthians, the 15th chapter, 1st Corinthians

15, and verse 57 but thanks be to God it says which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

everybody say that out loud read that out loud loud together. But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

One more time.

But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God. He gives us what?

The victory. We've been on a series now for a few weeks entitled Thanksgiving victory.

And we're looking at the connection between the two, and it is strong and it is broad.

And the Lord spoke some things to me about this a number of years ago, and I thought I saw a little bit about what he meant,

but in recent times I'm seeing, I barely scratched the bit about what he meant, but in recent times, I'm seeing I barely

scratched the surface of what he said to me when he said a phrase or two. We'll be talking

about that, but I am really stirred up over this, and I believe that this series is one of the

most significant teachings the Lord's given me. And that's saying a lot, because he's given us some very strong things and wonderful things.

But this is so much bigger than how it may appear to many at first glance.

When people hear about thanking God, they think, oh, yeah, that's good.

And most everybody knows it's good to thank God. And it is good, but it's much more.

It's much more than what you might think at first. Now, thanks be to God who gave us the victory.

No? No?

What?
