Thank God for Gratitude: Luke 17: 11-19, Ryan Laughlin





                                            Sermon Discussion Questions



          1. Gratitude is good for us. But it can be difficult to cultivate. What are some ways that gratitude gets impeded in our lives?

          2. In the sermon, we heard there are some practical ways to cultivate “gracious gratitude” in our lives as believers. Discuss the following:
               A) We can cultivate true gratitude by “calling out in need.”
     
               B) We can cultivate true gratitude when we “turn back in wonder.”

               C) We can cultivate true gratitude when we “fall down in worship.”

          3. Sermon quote: “When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” G.K. Chesterton (Discuss with the group)
     
          4. We may not have leprosy like the lepers Jesus healed in this passage, but most likely there is something in our life that makes us feel isolated from others. (Personally reflect on what that could be to yourself. Take a moment to ask God to start healing/restoring that in your life.)

          5. 9 out of 10 lepers from the passage, missed out on thanking the person who healed them. Gracious gratitude is relational. How does this passage inform our approach to be grateful to Christ in our lives?
