SCRIPTURE LESSON

 Luke 17:11-19

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers
11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus[a] was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered a village, ten lepers[b] approached him. Keeping their distance, 13 they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16 He prostrated himself at Jesus’[c] feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? 18 Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.”

MESSAGE

"Get Rich Quick: Gratitude"
by Pastor David

When we think about riches, we might dream about fancy cars, clothes, or other material possessions wealth can afford us. Our newest sermon series explores what the Bible has to say about true wealth. What does it mean to be rich, not in silver or gold, but in kindness, generosity, faith, gratitude, and community?
FINAL HYMN

"He Is Lord"
Torin Wright & Darlene Skinner
He is Lord, he is Lord!
He is risen from the dead and he is Lord!
Every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
(repeat)
CLOSING PRAYER
Gracious Lord,
We thank you for the gift of being able to gather together and worship you this day. We pray that the grace of Jesus, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit will remain with us as we leave to serve your kingdom. Amen.
