Sunday, November 24th. Luke 17:11-19 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” “When Jesus saw them.” Luke 17:14 There is no creature hidden from His sight. Hebrews 4:13 His eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps. Job 34:21 Faith. (Core Value) We trust God is at work in all aspects of life. Faith trusts God, even when we don’t understand. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith trusts God’s Word and acts on God’s Word before the outcome is evident. Hebrews 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please God. Luke 17:14. And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. You don’t have to understand to fully obey. 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. Luke 17:15-16 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. Gratitude is a choice. Gratitude is an action. Psalms 26:7 I proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all Your wondrous works. Gratitude establishes priorities and gives clarity. Luke 17:18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner? Gratitude leads to worship. Gratitude is the entrance into His presence. (Psalm 22:3, Psalm 100:4) 2 Corinthians 4:15 NLT As God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory. Gratitude has transformative power. Luke 17:19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Gratitude multiplies the blessings of God in your life. Proverbs 15:15 He who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
