Introduction:
Thanksgiving is an element of our worship gathering (and the narrative of the gospel) when we praise and offer thanksgiving for all the work God has done to redeem and restore all things, including us. In many ways, this part of the gathering represents a foretaste of the kingdom of God; when we will sing praise for eternity for all that the Father, Son, and Spirit has accomplished. In our scattered lives, we live in this reality as we notice the kingdom of God coming into our world and when we seek the coming of the kingdom of God in our world. The Lord Restores.
