     | 2,973 views

    Gratefulness in Elisha caused him to promise a son for the Shunammite woman whose husband was too old to have children. The message compares also Sarah and Hannah with this woman. God graciously provided for the couple at Shunem.

    ELISHA AND THE SHUNAMMITE WOMAN - THE RECIPIENT OF GRATITUDE SERIES – MESSAGES ON ELISHA – HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY Number 10 INTRODUCTION: Recapping from the last message. Elisha stayed with the childless couple at Shunem on his travels, and it was all of God’s providing. 1. It was the Lord’s ...read more

    Where Are The Nine? (Thanksgiving Sermon)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 3,611 views

    Notice in our scripture reading, the Lord asked a question, he asked, “Where are the Nine?”

    WHY DID HE ASK THAT QUESTION? This passage of scripture teaches us that the Lord expects us to show gratitude in our lives. These ten lepers were HOPELESS and HELPLESS, and He miraculously cured them. The least they could have done was show some appreciation for what He had done for them. That ...read more

    Stop And Thank

    The cure for spiritual complacency is gratitude.

    Imagine what it might have been like, back in Jesus’ day, to be a leper. Leprosy is basically just a bacterial skin infection, and nowadays it can be treated quite easily. But not back then. Back in those days it was incurable. And it was the most feared disease imaginable. First of all, it was ...read more

    Why do the Gospels tell us the story of the 10 lepers. What does their gratitude (or lack thereof) teach us about them - and about us as Christians?

    September 1923 - a devastating earthquake rocked the islands of Japan. And just in the city of Tokyo it destroyed nearly 75% of the buildings. The New York Tribune called the earthquake “Undoubtedly the greatest disaster in recorded time.” It was estimated that nearly 300,000 people died, and ...read more

    Going Up To The Real Temple

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 15, 2023
     | 560 views

    Lepers were outsiders. They were ostracized from society, and could not enter either Temple or synagogue.

    Wednesday of the 32nd week in Course 2023 Ten lepers came as near to Jesus as they dared. That would have been fifty to eighty meters. Their chronic skin condition, maybe Hansen’s disease as we see such infections these days, has ruined their social and religious lives. They were ostracized from ...read more

    (Pastor's note: Pastor this is a message to help set the stage of the heart for deeper worship.) Worship only happens when the gratitude inside pours out.

    “Give Thanks” How do you put Christ at the center of your worship? One sure way to enjoy worship every time, be it private or the corporate experience, is to make sure that worship is actually happening. Many try to chase connection with God but miss it because they don’t know the key factor of ...read more

    The ten lepers knew that their physical condition was hopeless. No doctor, no priest, no pastor, could help them, only God could cure their Leprosy.

    This is a message of giving thanks through the story of the one leper who returned to Jesus to say 'thank you" once he was healed.

    I Am The One Scriptures: Luke 17:11-19; Numbers 12 The title of this Thanksgiving message is “I Am the One.” Have you ever been the one person to do something that no else was willing to do?

    I am guessing that each of you sat down on Thanksgiving Day with people that you love and you likely began your meal by expressing thanks.

    “Thanks Giving” Luke 17:11-19 I am guessing that each of you sat down on Thanksgiving Day with people that you love and you likely began your meal by expressing thanks.

    My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

    Moses climbs up Mount Sinai - up THAT mountain- and disappears into the cloud at the top, the cloud that somehow represents the presence of God. There he stays for forty days in that haze, time apart in the presence of God receiving from God the ten commandments and other laws and teachings for ...read more

    Ever feel ripped off when trying to help someone? Ever feel taken advantage of, abused and used? Of course, you have, we all have. In Luke 17, 10 lepers were healed, only one returned to say thanks

    Don’t Just Say Thank You Celebration Church, November 15, 2020 Tom Bartlett OUTLINE On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, ...read more

    Thanksgiving Day

    The Apostle Paul did not write 365 thank-you notes. But he did write about one-half of the letters that make-up the New Testament. And Paul’s letters overflow with thanksgiving.

    Gratitude is an intentional way of thinking about receiving a benefit and giving credit to others beside oneself for that benefit. Practicing gratitude magnifies positive feelings more than it reduces negative feelings. To illustrate: John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low ...read more

    With Thanksgiving just days away, this is the time of year when we focus on the reasons we are thankful. That might be harder to do this year with COVID but we still need to be in a mode of giving thanks. Thank you-two small but powerful words that mean so much.
