In this first of three messages, our teaching Pastor, Kim Carroll, emphasizes the importance of gratitude and thankfulness to God, exemplified by the Hebrew word "todah." She deepens this understanding by exploring the biblical concept of the thank offering found in Leviticus, highlighting that genuine gratitude stems from a place of sacrifice and devotion rather than mere circumstance. Kim encourages listeners to recognize their blessings and express thanks to God continually, not just during Thanksgiving, while also advocating for the importance of creating hospitality and relationships by sharing meals with others. Ultimately, she calls for a life that reflects gratitude, generosity, and the sharing of one's faith through meaningful connections with those around them.
