SERMON NOTES

Miracles: Lepers

Luke 17:11-19 New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy

11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance

13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”

19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

Math Review

How many Lepers were there and how many came back?

Why do you think only one came back to thank Jesus? 

Aren’t we all, at sometimes like the nine?

Why do we sometimes not take the time to thank God when he does things in our lives?

Could we ever thank God enough?

The Greek word for faith is pistis.

PISTIS = FAITH = BELIEF

Do you have the faith to go the distance? To make the round trip?

All ten had the faith to be healed but only one had the faith to be faithful, to come back and return with thanks for all that God has given.

Faith isn’t complete, it’s not finished until it is faithful.

John 10:27 New International Version (NIV)

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

  • Be the one who keeps coming back.
  • If you fall get back up.
  • Come back to God and say thank you.
  • Return what is His.
  • Be the blessing.
  • Return what you have been blessed with.

Romans 12:1 New International Version (NIV)

A Living Sacrifice

17 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

God wants to turn your faith into faithfulness. Be the one that comes back not to just take the blessing, but be a blessing. Be the one that comes back to say thanks and to worship.

 

Be the one to let God know you love Him and that even if he never did another thing for you, you’re here because of what He’s already done for you in Jesus.
