Loving God and Others by Making Disciples who Make Disciples

Luke 17:11-19 One Leper Saved

In this powerful account of ten lepers healed by Jesus, we uncover a deeper truth about gratitude, faith, and salvation. Leprosy serves as a vivid symbol of sin—incurable, isolating, and destructive. While all ten lepers showed faith by crying out to Jesus and obeying His command, only one returned to give thanks, recognizing not just the gift but the Giver. This Samaritan leper’s gratitude led him to a deeper understanding of Christ, resulting in spiritual healing and salvation.

Join us as we explore how faith, obedience, and thankfulness intersect in our lives. Are we among the nine who receive God’s blessings but fail to respond, or are we the one who sees the beauty of Christ and turns back in worship? This sermon invites us to examine our own hearts, reflect on God’s abundant grace, and cultivate a gratitude that leads to transformation.
