Scripture Focus: Luke 17:11-19

Main Idea: Gratitude builds a strong foundation of faith; it makes us whole, not just healed.

Key Points:

Leprosy isolated people, but Jesus restored them through compassion.

The Samaritan leper, the outsider, was the only one who returned to give thanks.

Gratitude changes us from the inside out. It transforms healing into wholeness.

Faith built on gratitude helps us stand firm when life erodes around us.

Being grateful doesn’t ignore pain; it gives us strength to face it with hope.

Reflection Questions:

Where do you see “modern lepers” in your life, people pushed aside or overlooked?

How can you practice gratitude this week, even in difficult moments?

What is the foundation your faith is built on?

Takeaway:
Gratitude is more than good manners; it’s how we become whole in Christ.
