Four weeks in the Psalms, learning to give thanks in every season through the songs God's people have always sung.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.”
Psalm 100:4
The Psalms give us words for gratitude when our own run dry. Through the month of November 2022, New Hope walked through four psalms of thanksgiving, one each Sunday leading into the holiday.
From the personal praise of Psalm 34 to the call to worship in Psalm 95, the open gates of Psalm 100, and the great works remembered in Psalm 111, the series invites us to make thanksgiving a habit, not just a holiday.

Psalm 34
David wrote Psalm 34 hiding in a cave, hunted, surrounded by everyone in debt or distress who had nowhere else to go. Pastor Tim Rolen reads it as what it is: not a prayer to God but a word to the people in the cave with him.

Psalm 111
Why do weeks go by without us saying thank you to God? Pastor Mark Addis closes the Psalms of Thanksgiving series in Psalm 111, follows it into Job 28, and lands on a Hebrew word for ponder that literally means to visit often.
