In his message "When Gratitude Changes Everything," Pastor DJ Stinard explores the powerful story of Jesus healing the ten lepers from Luke 17, drawing out meaningful lessons about faith, gratitude, and transformation. He emphasizes how Jesus demonstrated supernatural authority as Master (more than just a teacher) when he healed these social outcasts, showing God's heart for those society deemed unworthy. Through this biblical account, Pastor DJ highlights three key principles: God's special care for the marginalized, His response to active faith (as the lepers were healed while walking in obedience), and His delight in grateful hearts. He particularly focuses on how the one Samaritan leper who returned to thank Jesus received something even greater than physical healing – he experienced complete spiritual transformation and unity with Christ. Pastor DJ concludes by connecting this to 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, reminding us that maintaining an attitude of gratitude and joy is God's perfect plan for our lives in Christ Jesus.
