Join us as Pastor Peter preaches a special sermon on the biblical idea of giving thanks. What is thanksgiving, and how do beauty and truth play a part in us being thankful, or not? Are anxiety and thanksgiving related? Have a listen! “One of the reasons we’re so anxious as a culture is because we’re so thankless as a culture.” -Pastor Peter “The only time you’re not thinking about yourself is when you’re in a state of awe.” -Pastor Peter “…Beauty will save the world…” (Dostoevsky, “The Idiot”) “If life is just a series of disconnected facts, why wouldn’t you focus on the negative facts that need to be attended to?” -Pastor Peter “Narrative is something you behold, observe and are in awe of. Facts you simply attend to.” -Pastor Peter “God is taking every element of your life and harmonizing them together; that’s how poetry works.” -Pastor Peter “The tragedy harmonizes with the overarching theme which is heroism.” -Pastor Peter “Jesus is the meaning of life itself. Your life and my life are part of His story; we’re actually secondary characters.” -Pastor Peter “Being motivated by shame never built a better future.” -Pastor Peter “My worst decision are the impetus for the cross and my best decisions are the proof of the resurrection. “-Pastor Peter “Christ cannot be Savior without the cross.” -Pastor Peter “To be thankful for the present is to be hopeful for the future.” -Pastor Peter 1 Thessalonians 5, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Ephesians 2:10, John 1:14, 1 Corinthians 15:9-10, Revelation 12:11, Colossians 2:13-15, Ecclesiastes 3:10, Romans 8:28-30, Matthew 6:25-27, 2 Corinthians 4:17 #bible #calvarychapel #calvarymarana #history #thanksgiving #thanks #thankful #maranaaz #tucson #lincoln #president #beauty #truth
