Preparations: Faithfulness and Gratitude

Luke: The Person and Mission of Jesus / Faith; Thanksgiving, Healing / Luke 17:11-19; Leviticus 13:45-46; Leviticus 13:1-8; Luke 8:24; Luke 9:49; Philippians 3:7-10

True faith is demonstrated through obedience to God’s Word, as seen in the story of the ten lepers who were healed when they followed Jesus' command. It reminds us that Jesus’ instructions always align with God’s law, and faith is revealed in action, not just belief. The message also highlights the importance of gratitude, urging believers to respond to God’s work in their lives with thankfulness, like the one leper who returned to thank Jesus. Through our faith, obedience, and gratitude, others can witness and experience God's presence.
