Sermon on Deuteronomy 26:1-11 and Luke 12:13-21 about thankfulness, and seeing the Hand of God our Giver, as He places all good things in our hands. We read the Deuteronomy reading responsively, following the flow of the text, and then the sermon concluded with the responsive reading that follows, composed from other Bible passages as a reflection of our own deliverance and blessings received from the hand of the Lord, and modeled after the Deuteronomy recitation.  The Deuteronomy passage had been used as a recitation of worshipers on the Day of Pentecost, a harvest festival.

· Pastor: So let’s look up today, refocus our eyes from our hands and our feet, up to the gracious hand of God, our Giver, and remember how He has blessed us.
