Hannah’s Offering of Gratitude
(Feb 15)
-
1 Samuel 1; 2:1-11
-
After years of prayer, Hannah gives thanks for Samuel’s birth by bringing offerings—including grain or flour (1 Sam 1:24)—and dedicating her son to the Lord. Her gratitude is deeply personal, yet her obedience blesses the entire nation through Samuel’s leadership. Thanksgiving here is not passive—it releases what was once desperately desired.
-
What does Hannah’s offering teach us about mature gratitude that has been shaped through long seasons of suffering?
Why is it sometimes hard to give back what we prayed so hard for?
How can gratitude free us from holding blessings too tightly?

Melchizedek Blesses Abraham
(Feb 16)
-
Genesis 14
-
After Abraham’s victory, Melchizedek—priest of God Most High (and some speculate Melchizedek was even God Himself!)—brings out bread and wine and blesses Abraham. This moment reflects peace-offering imagery: a shared celebration acknowledging God’s deliverance. Abraham responds by giving a tenth of everything. Gratitude leads naturally to generosity, and victory becomes a communal acknowledgment of God’s provision rather than personal achievement.
-
Why do you think this moment is marked by blessing and a shared meal instead of sacrifice for sin?
How does gratitude reframe success and victory?
What does generosity reveal about what we believe the source of our provision is?

The Grain Offering: Bringing the Finest
(Feb 17)
-
Leviticus 2
-
Leviticus 2 outlines the grain offering as an act of thanksgiving and devotion, requiring the offeror to bring the finest flour, oil, and frankincense—never leaven or honey, and never something inferior or careless. By commanding only the finest flour, God made clear that gratitude is never casual—it costs us something. This offering expressed dependence on God for daily provision and trust that generosity would not lead to lack. At the same time, it challenged Israel to resist giving leftovers or what cost them little. The grain offering taught that worship involves intentional excellence, reminding God’s people that He is worthy of their best, not what remains after everything else has been claimed.
-
1. Why do you think God specifically required fine flour rather than whatever was available?
2. How does bringing “the best” shape the way gratitude is expressed?
3. What might it look like today to give God the first and finest rather than leftovers?

Covenant Meal on the Mountain
(Feb 18)
-
Exodus 24
-
After the covenant is confirmed, Moses and Israel’s leaders ascend the mountain and eat and drink in God’s presence. This moment echoes the peace offering—a shared meal that celebrates restored relationship with God. Gratitude is expressed not only through sacrifice but through fellowship. God invites His people to celebrate peace with Him and with one another.
-
Why do you think God seals this covenant relationship with a shared meal?
How does eating together strengthen community and trust?
What role does gratitude play in sustaining healthy relationships?

David Brings the Ark to Jerusalem
(Feb 19)
-
2 Samuel 6
-
When the Ark is brought into Jerusalem, David offers burnt and peace offerings, then distributes bread to all the people. Worship moves from altar to community table. The peace offering transforms celebration into generosity—no one is excluded from the joy of God’s presence.
-
Uzzah’s death is tied not to bad intentions, but to disobedience. According to the Law, the Ark was to be carried by Levites using poles, not transported on a cart. What does this reveal about the relationship between sincerity, obedience, and worship?
Why do you think David pairs worship with generosity to the people?
How does shared celebration and generosity strengthen unity?
In what ways can worship overflow into tangible generosity today?
Michal despised David for his public, generous worship. Why do you think visible devotion and generosity often invite criticism from others?
David chose faithfulness over image and joy over dignity. What might it look like to worship and give freely without letting the opinions of others define obedience?

Solomon’s Temple Dedication
(Feb 20)
-
1 Kings 8:62-66
-
Solomon offers countless peace offerings during the temple dedication, and the people celebrate for days. The scale of the offering turns worship into a national feast. Gratitude is not quiet or private, it becomes communal joy. The peace offering reminds Israel that God’s presence is meant to be celebrated together.
-
What does the size of Solomon’s offering communicate about God’s worth?
Why is celebration an important expression of gratitude?
Should churches create space for shared joy and thanksgiving? What are some ways this is done at your church?

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
(Feb 21)
-
John 6:1-15
-
Jesus gives thanks for a small offering of bread before distributing it to the crowd. What begins as a simple act of gratitude becomes abundant provision for thousands. This moment fulfills the heart of the grain and peace offerings: thanksgiving to God that results in shared provision and communal satisfaction.
-
Why does Jesus give thanks before the miracle happens?
How does gratitude position us to see God’s provision multiply?
What happens when we choose to share instead of hold back?
