This week's Parsha is Bereishit, Genesis 1:1 - 6:8.

In the Bible’s sacred texts, thankfulness recurs as a theme that resonates deeply with believers. It is a virtue that goes beyond mere words of gratitude, encompassing a profound acknowledgment of God's sovereignty, provision, and faithfulness. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, Scripture abounds with examples of individuals and communities expressing gratitude to the Almighty.The biblical concept of thankfulness goes beyond mere appreciation for temporal blessings; it embodies a posture of humility, worship, and trust in God's unfailing goodness. Whether in times of abundance or adversity, believers are called to cultivate gratitude, recognizing that every good gift comes from above. As we reflect on the countless blessings bestowed upon us, may our hearts overflow with thanksgiving, glorifying the One who is worthy of all praise.• 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 – This is Yah’s desire• Colossians 3:15 – Whatever you do in word or deed• Psalm 69:29 – Make Him great with thanksgiving• 1 Chronicles 16 – King David’s prayer of thanksgiving• Why don’t we give thanks?• Things that negatively affect our ability to be thankful• Being excited to give thanks• Pray for the peace of Jerusalem?• Wrapping it up
