Reason for Giving Thanks Luke 17:11-19 Summary: I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! This week as we give thanks for all God has done, let's think about a moment when Jesus miraculously healed ten lepers. Leprosy is a terrible, painful disease. Jesus healed all ten people, but only one of them returned and gave thanks for Jesus' mercy. Let's listen in and think about how God wants to make us thankful for his salvation: 1. A cry for mercy 2. A test of faith 3. A reason to give thanks Memory verse: (Luke 11:15) Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. Leprosy in the Bible was often a symbol for the disease of sin. How does this help us understand the plight of these ten lepers? 2. Why might Jesus have told them to show themselves to the priests, before he ever healed them? What might it teach us about faith? 3. What is the significance of the one person who returned to give thanks? Why might it be important that he was a Samaritan (implying that the others were probably Jews)? 4. What does this miracle show us about Jesus, and his Gospel? How might it lead you to a deeper sense of gratitude toward God?

Exodus 23:10-19 Resting and Feasting Summary: Imagine what it might have been like to grow up as one of God's children in Israel. God wanted them to learn about all he had done for them, so he called them to regular patterns of celebration. He gave them the gift of rest on the Sabbath, and also he gave them three yearly feasts to stop and remember his faithfulness. This week, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, God wants us to stop and remember all he has done for us! Outline: 1. The gift of Sabbath: God gives rest to his creation 2. The gift of feasting: a. Passover: Stop and remember his salvation b. Harvest: Stop and remember his provision c. Ingathering: The first Thanksgiving Verse: (1Cor. 5:7b-8a): ...For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival... Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. What was the specific reason given in these verses for the Sabbath year and weekly Sabbath? How might these reasons shape or even change some of our thoughts about Sabbath keeping? 2. What was the significance of the three yearly feasts that God commanded Israel? What do we learn about God's saving power and mercy through each of them? 3. How might they show us more of Jesus's saving work? 4. Although Christians are no longer commanded to celebrate the Feasts of Unleavened Bread, Harvest and Ingathering, what can we learn about what it means to stop, remember, and celebrate God's goodness? How can that help you this week for example, as we celebrate Thanksgiving?
