Thanksgiving - Part 1

from i61 Sydney · host i61 Church

“Not giving thanks is a slippery slope to forgetting, which is a slippery slope to idolatry.” In this timely and insightful message, Michelle brings fresh revelation on the power of thanksgiving — not as a vague attitude of gratitude, but as a spiritual weapon that aligns our hearts, our worship, and our memory with the truth of who God is. Drawing from both Hebrew and Greek biblical roots, Michelle contrasts the cultural trend of gratitude journaling with the active, intentional command to give thanks to God. From Deuteronomy to Luke, from the Psalms to the Eucharist, she uncovers how thanksgiving is far more than polite appreciation — it’s an act of warfare, a discipline of remembrance, and a key to carrying spiritual authority in the land of promise. This is Part 1 of a two-part message, calling us to pick up the sword of thanksgiving and rediscover its power to anchor us, transform us, and prepare us for what’s next.
