2. Give Thanks
Luke 17:11-19: Because they listened and
obeyed, they were healed.
All 10 were healed, but only one returned.
How would you respond if you were healed?
Can you hear the disappointment in Jesus’
voice as He asks, “But where are the nine?”
Of the many who receive blessings from God,
aren’t there few who return to give thanks?
What kind of excuses do we hear?

3. Give Thanks
He knows I’m thankful…
I Thess. 5:18: Give thanks in everything.
I was getting better anyway…
III John 2: Pray for not only spiritual
strength, but for physical health.
I did it all…
Eph. 3:20: God works through us. We need
to thank God for the ability He gives us.

4. Give Thanks
Well, no one else gave thanks…
Thanks for meals (John 6:11; Acts 27:35).
Matt. 7:13-14: We will often be alone in
serving the Lord; let your light shine.
He or she gave thanks for us…
Col. 3:17: We must all give thanks for
ourselves. Continually thank God.
If I don’t have it now, I must never had it…
Phil. 4:6: Pray instead of worry.

5. Give Thanks
So and so (not God) healed me…
Acts 17:28: God is the reason we live.
I’ll say ‘thank you’ later…
Prov. 3:27-28: It’s wrong to tell our
neighbor to come back tomorrow. Wouldn’t it
be wrong to tell God the same?
Why did the Samaritan return?
Luke 17:15-16: Because he knew the source
of his healing and was thankful.
