Thank You - Sermon by Rev. Stephen Milton


Listen Later

In Thank You, preached on Thanksgiving Sunday, Rev. Stephen Milton explores the healing power of gratitude through the story of the ten lepers. Only one—a Samaritan outsider—returns to thank Jesus, crossing social, religious, and physical borders in his act of faith. Rev. Milton contrasts this ancient gratitude with today’s culture of ratings and transactions, where appreciation is often reduced to stars and reviews. True gratitude, he reminds us, is not about judgment or worth but about humility and connection—a soul-level recognition of grace freely given.
