Text: Mark 14:1-9
Hey, mission Hills. I am really excited to bring a message to you today about this incredibly powerful thing that you can put into your life that, honestly, if you're anything like me, it's not present in your life to the degree that it could or should be. And specifically I'm talking about gratitude.
And one of things I've figured out about gratitude over the years is that gratitude isn't just the right response to what God has done.

Now if you're familiar with church, that's not a big surprise. If you're maybe new to church, the idea that the religious leaders wanted to kill Jesus might seem like an odd thing, right? Who could want to take out Jesus? Isn't he like the kindest, most loving man that's ever walked the face of the earth?
Yes, but that's the interesting thing, like people hated Jesus too. And I don't know about you, but sometimes that's good news. 'cause I find that not everybody thinks I'm the best thing since sliced bread. And so I sometimes I take comfort i ...
