The Grateful Leper

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches on Luke 17:11-19, focusing on the story of the ten lepers healed by Jesus, emphasizing the importance of gratitude and giving thanks to God. He highlights the spiritual lesson that while many receive blessings, few return to give thanks, using the grateful Samaritan leper as an example. The sermon also reflects on the American tradition of Thanksgiving as rooted in adversity and calls believers to recognize God's goodness even in difficult times. Goans encourages believers to be thankful not just in feeling but in action, returning to God with praise and gratitude.
