This sermon from Psalm 1 challenges believers to guard their hearts from the strife, conflict, and contention that ruin both our Thanksgiving holiday and our spirit of daily gratitude. By contrasting the path of the ungodly with the rooted, fruitful life of the righteous, the message reminds us that peace grows from a life grounded in God's Word. Christians are called to pursue humility, guard their words, and choose the way of peace so they can enjoy the blessings God has given them without allowing unnecessary conflict to rob their thanksgiving.
