Pastor Troy's Thanksgiving message emphasizes the importance of remembering God’s “benefits,” as highlighted in Psalm 103:2, warning that spiritual forgetfulness leads to ingratitude and disobedience. He explains that remembering God’s works strengthens trust, fuels gratitude, and anchors believers in their faith. He outlines numerous spiritual benefits of knowing Jesus — summarized through the acrostic THANKSGIVING — including Transformation, Hope, Assurance, Nearness (to God), Knowledge, Salvation, Grace, Identity, Victory, Inheritance, New (mercies), and Glory. Pastor Troy challenges listeners to intentionally combat forgetfulness by taking God’s Word seriously and recalling His ongoing faithfulness.
