What does the Bible say about gratitude, thankfulness and giving thanks to God? In this Sunday sermon, Rev. Johnson V begins a month-long Bible study on thanksgiving from Colossians chapter 2, showing that because we have received the fullness of Christ, we are called to be rooted in Him and abounding in thanksgiving. Through Israel's 11-day journey that became 40 years in the wilderness, the sacrifice of thanksgiving and Jesus giving thanks over the five loaves, he shows how a culture of gratitude replaces murmuring and opens the way to God's promises.

This Sunday sermon explores the Christian culture of gratitude and the difference between thankfulness and complaining. Rev. Johnson V teaches from Colossians chapter 2 on walking in Christ, from Deuteronomy chapter 1 on the Exodus journey of Moses and the Israelites toward the promised land, from Leviticus chapter 7 on the sacrifice of thanksgiving, from Romans chapter 1 on the darkness of a thankless heart, and from John chapter 6 on Jesus giving thanks before the miracle of the loaves. It is practical teaching on faith, scripture and the word of God: praying until you have assurance, offering a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving, thanking God in advance, and keeping a thankful heart through pain, waiting and repentance.
