Summary Preached on the Sabbath of the 2026 Thanksgiving Convention, this sermon argues that Thanksgiving is not pagan but holy at the root: a national memorial like the Feast of Dedication and Purim, not a holy day. The 1621 harvest echoes Tabernacles; the 1623 common store and the day of humiliation that brought rain show that humiliation comes before thanksgiving. From Deuteronomy 8, Washington's and Lincoln's proclamations and Winthrop, it warns that a full nation that forgets YAHWEH shall perish, and charges believers to be ambassadors at their tables.
