PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP (8/24/2014) Read Luke 17:11-19 Don Moen made popular a song called “Give Thanks.” The words are simple and easy. Give thanks with a grateful heart; Give thanks to the Holy One; Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son. And now let the weak say, “I am strong;” Let the poor say, “I am rich, Because of what the Lord has done for us.” We give thanks to You oh Lord. We give thanks.

SMITH, Published by Lyrics © MEMORY LANE MUSIC GROUP metrolyrics/give-thanks-lyrics-don-moen.html We give thanks for all things. The one leper who came back to Jesus came being blessed by what Jesus had done for him. He did not touch his body to heal him, but oh how He touched his soul and made him a different person. Notice how he reacts to Jesus stopping and offering words of healing. ~ He turns back to Jesus. ~ He praises Him with a loud voice. ~ He bows prostrate before Him at His feet. ~ He thanked Him. All are acts of worship before God. All come from a man who is totally grateful for a God who reached down to him in the ugliness and messiness of his world and brought healing to his body and soul. Jesus responds, “Your faith has made you well!” With grateful hearts, come to worship this Sunday! Turn and face Jesus! Praise Him with a loud voice! Bow your heart and mind and soul and strength before Him! Offer to Him your thanks! gosoutheast.org/sermons
