147: Luke 17 | Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Readiness: Living the Kingdom Life

The Bible. Wait… What?!

Key Themes and Discussion Points:

1. Forgiveness and Faith 🙌

   • The Mustard Seed Analogy: Even a small amount of faith can lead to transformative forgiveness.
   • Practical Takeaway: Reflect on those you need to forgive, trusting God to give you the strength to extend grace.

2. Humility in Service 💧

   • The Unworthy Servant: Stay grounded in gratitude, remembering that we serve out of love and not entitlement.
   • Reflection: How can humility shape your daily actions and your relationship with God?

3. Healing and Gratitude ❤️

   • The Ten Lepers: Only one returned to thank Jesus, receiving full healing and wholeness.
   • Challenge: What can you intentionally thank God for today? Gratitude leads to deeper faith and spiritual renewal.

4. The Kingdom of God is Here 🌍

   • Not What They Expected: Jesus redefines the kingdom as something within us, growing outward through love, forgiveness, and service.
   • Living Ready: How can you live with expectation for Christ’s return by embodying the kingdom now?
