Jesus Gave Thanks-- Thanksgiving 2 Of 4 Series

Contributed by David Hodgin on Nov 22, 2005

Many things in life can pull us down and it is difficult to maintain an attitude of thankfulness, but with God’s help, we can do it.

More Than Just A Healing

Contributed by Chris Tiller on Dec 16, 2005

The account of the ten lepers: Grace was extended equally to all ten, but in only one did that grace bring a response of faith. With wild abandon, and gratitude, and excitement, he turned from going through the motions and fell at Jesus’ feet.

Some texts are just too obvious. Ten lepers were cleansed. One came back and said thanks. Nine did not. The one was commended. The nine were scolded in absentia. Ah...it’s important to write thank-you notes. My mama, your mama, and Miss Manners would be pleased. End of ...read more

One Of Them Turned Back

Contributed by Marv Mutzenberger on Oct 12, 2004

Begin with imaginative rationale for nine who did not return, and conclude with the gospel of God’s great mercy and the human response of worship

ONE OF THEM TURNED BACK Luke 17:11-19 When we meet new people, we ask questions like, “Where did you grow up? Did you live in town or on a farm? Where did you go to college?

"Worse Than Leprosy..." By Dr. E. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jan 4, 2006

A few sweet words and a little bit of kindness can coax the hottest iron out of a fire. So it is with gratitude. Let’s examine this truth together in Lukes story of the ten lepers!

Introduction I read recently of the story of the man who was betrayed by one he thought was his best friend. He went to him and asked, "How could you do this to me? Who picked you up out of the gutter? Who gave you your first job? Who lent you money and bailed you out of jail!" His reply was, ...read more

Where Are The Thankful?

Contributed by Billy Kryger on Aug 7, 2005

Thanksgiving Message

INTRODUCTION: In our text ten lepers are healed but only one returns to give the Lord Jesus the proper thanks for his healing touch upon them. If you figure it out percentage wise, only one out of ten, or 10% came back to thank Christ for what He had done. Lets not be guilty of being part of that ...read more
