In this Thanksgiving message on Luke 17:11–19, we meet ten men with leprosy who stand at a distance and cry out, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” Their story becomes a mirror of our own spiritual condition and a powerful reminder of all we have in Christ.

We explore four reasons to say, “Thank You, Jesus”:

• for your mercy that seeks us out,

• for your might that heals and saves,

• for the faith you create through your word,

• and even for our maladies, which drive us back to you and open doors to witness.

Listen in and be encouraged to let your gratitude to Jesus be louder than your grumbling—not just at Thanksgiving, but every day.

Pastor Dan's sermon calls us to “hold on” to God’s trustworthy Word and “head out” with its message. Jesus delays judgment so more people can repent. While the world keeps sinning, believers keep serving. Because Christ brings his reward, we cherish Scripture, remain faithful, and share the gospel urgently before he returns.

Jesus provides clear assurance that we can be certain of eternal life, even when faced with skepticism like that of the Sadducees. These religious leaders challenged Jesus about resurrection, but their doubt stemmed from limiting God's power to what they could physically see. Jesus pointed to Scripture, specifically God's present-tense declaration to Moses about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, proving that the faithful continue to exist after death. Worthiness for eternal life isn't based on our performance but on being washed clean by Jesus' blood. In heaven, we'll experience perfect relationships with everyone, no more death, and be permanent residents as God's children.
