God has brought together a new people in Christ, qualified us to receive an inheritance with him in his Kingdom, and he has done it all as a free gift in Christ.  The only appropriate response is to give thanks.  This Sunday join us for a time of testimonies where we will give thanks for what God has done in our lives.  Give some thought to sharing how God has been working in you, teaching you new things, or providing for you.  Given the emphasis on discipleship in Matthew, take some time to reflect on how God is forming more and more into the likeness of Christ, and come prepared to give thanks for all he has done.
