Third Sunday in November, 2022

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the importance of thankfulness to God, drawing from Psalm 100 and the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17. It highlights God's care, mercy, and truth as reasons for gratitude, contrasting the thankful Samaritan leper with the others who did not return to give thanks. The preacher also discusses the fallen human condition described in Romans 1, where people suppress the truth of God and fail to be thankful, and encourages believers to appreciate the Spirit's help in prayer and God's providential work as described in Romans 8.
