Jason focuses on the power of an encounter with God's love and the impact thankfulness has on our lives. The message was taken from Luke 17:11-19
"Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
"In Oct I visited with my good friend Scott Crowder and DreamHouse Church in Newport News VA. This church family has become a home away from home and this was my 7th visit in nine years.
On this Sunday Scott asked if I would speak on the particular scripture from that week's Lectionary, the 2019 liturgical calendar which DreamHouse has been following this year.
I was honored to dive into the family story of DreamHouse for this year. Luke 17:11-19 was read before I got up to speak.
I pray the message encourages."
