Richard takes on a trip through the Bible this week as we look at what is said about being thankful. We read Psalm 100, James 1:13-18, Colossians 2:4-7, and Job 42:1-6. We should be thankful for all that we do have and the only thing we should long for is a deeper relationship with Christ.

As we continue through 1 Thessalonians this week, we see where Timothy reports back to Paul about the great things going on at the church in Thessalonica.
