1. "Church, are you knowing more for your complaining or more for your praising? What happens when bad things come your way? When challenging moments come? Prodigal son. Prodigal son, what does he do? He praises. He goes, 'I'd rather be in my father's house.' And he gives praise. Dad wraps everything around him. Prodigal son. Continual. The Apostle Paul says, in thanks. In everything he thanks. A leper. He had nothing to offer God. Absolutely zip. You guys have so much more to offer God than he did. And he comes back like a megaphone. Jesus. Runs. Falls at his feet. Praising God. Praising God. He had nothing to offer God." [01:15:06]
2. "It took faith for them to obey. They didn't even have enough faith. They needed to have enough faith when Jesus said, 'Go show yourself to the priest,' that as a group they said, 'Might as well go show ourselves to the priest. That's what he said to do.' And so as a group, start walking towards the priest. They start walking to the priest." [01:00:21]
3. "Imagine they're just kind of walking. They're on the other side of the bluff now. Jesus can't see them. They can't see Jesus. Guys walking. Remember, they have no sensation in some of their feet. None maybe in their fingers. And I go, 'Ah, man, I stepped on a rock. Oh, that hurt. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I can feel in my feet. What?' And he pulls back. And all of a sudden, the band-aid. And the scars on the hands. Can you imagine that? They couldn't feel. And all of a sudden, they just start, 'Wait a minute. I can feel. Woo-hoo.' And they start getting excited. They start jumping up and down. Because for the first time in years, they can feel." [01:01:08]
4. "This guy, he's not shy. Maybe he is. But he's so excited about what happened. He threw himself at Jesus' feet. And he just is there. Can you imagine the crowd parting ways? Because they see this leper running to him. Guy, well, he used to be a leper. Now he's a whole guy running to Jesus. Parting the crowd. Boom. Planting down at his feet. That's exactly the picture you got here. And then he realized that God's word is true. God's word. Jesus spoke. Jesus was the word. And the word said, 'Go to the priest.' Implied in that if you go to the priest, you'll be healed. When he realized God's word is true, he cries out loud to the one who heals him." [01:06:17]
5. "He threw himself at Jesus' feet. And look at this. He threw himself at Jesus' feet. And he thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. And he was a Samaritan. He wasn't part of the Jewish clan. He was a Samaritan. He was an outcast. He was a foreigner. The foreigner came. And the foreigner thanked and worshiped Jesus. And the passage says, 'We're not all ten cleansed. Where are the other nine? Was no one found to give praise to God except for the foreigner?'" [01:08:04]
### Quotes for Members
1. "Then he said to him, 'Rise and go. Here's the twist. Here's the twist for you. Rise and go. Your faith has made you well. Your faith has made you well. Not healed, but well. The implied meaning there is to save, to deliver, or rescue your faith. Here's the picture of faith. They had a need. Jesus, Master, have pity on them. Have mercy on them. They had a need. Jesus tells them. The word speaks. The word tells them what to do. In obedience, they do it, and they're healed. That's where many people's faith stops. God heals them. But here's the bigger lesson. One of them. One of them gives up. One of them gives thanks. One of them comes back to Jesus. One of them worships with all of his might. And as a result, he is saved. He is delivered. He is rescued in the totality of who he is." [01:09:32]
2. "You are well. But he still has major issues. He's externally still stinky, unkept. But he was well. He's still wearing rags. But he is well. He's still unemployed. But he is well. Ten were healed. Ten were healed. But only one was made well. That's incredible. Sometimes church being part of the majority isn't the best thing. Sometimes you're made well. And Jesus made him well. A well person has a continual sense of gratitude." [01:12:21]
3. "Worship expresses your faith. And worship is more than singing the song that Edgar does. You worship God with your heart throughout the day. You worship God in his quiet moments. God, thank you so much for this opportunity to trust you. Thank you for this test, this trial, this turmoil that you're running me through. Thank you for the treasures that you have provided. And so as a result, you've given me so much. I give it back to you. And so giving is an act of worship. When you put your tithe or your offering back there in that silver box, that's an act of worship going, God, everything I have is yours and here's a portion of that. Of course, I give back to you, God. I give you. It's all yours. I'm just worshiping you." [01:18:54]
4. "Mercy. Jesus, have mercy. See, mercy, one definition is showing kindness to someone whom it is within your power to punish or harm. Master, have mercy on us because you have the power to harm us. You have the power to punish us. And we're asking you to relieve the punishment that you have inflicted on us. And that's why you got the other word, compassion. Pity. Flash compassion. There's a deep awareness of the suffering of another person. You've got an awareness of it, but you also have the ability to do something about it. Mercy, you can harm, you can punish, but you choose to relieve it. Compassion, you're aware of it, and you have the ability to do something." [55:42]
5. "Faith turns to worship. I think a lot of people encounter Jesus. I think a lot of people ask Jesus for a favor. Ask Jesus to work. It stops right there. It doesn't go beyond that moment. God, help me. I'm hurting. I've got this disease. I've got this wound or whatever else. And God heals you. But it never turns into worship. It just turns into that moment where God heals you and you're good. Thank you, God. You don't even say thank you. You just continue on." [01:03:05]
