A WORD IN YOUR EAR 

Luke 17:1-19 Discipleship 

1-2 Sin brings death

Then Jesus said to the disciples, 

“You cannot stop sin trying to tempt you, but death waits for the one who tries to make you sin. ²It would be better for that person if a huge stone were hung around his neck and he then dropped it into the sea instead of tempting one of these little ones to sin.

3-4 Forgiveness

³Watch yourselves! If your brother sins against you, tell him where he is wrong, and if he wants to turn around and put things right with you, wash the slate clean. ⁴Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, if he says, ‘I repent’, forgive him”.

5-6 Faith

⁵The special disciples said, 

‘Lord, increase our faith’.

⁶The Lord said, 

“If you had faith as small as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘be uprooted and be planted in the sea’, and it would obey you.

7-10 Obedience

⁷If you had a servant ploughing or feeding the cattle, would you say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Go and sit down and eat’? ⁸Wouldn’t you say, ‘Get the food ready for my meal and bring it to me. Then you can eat and drink.’ ⁹Do you think the servant is thanked for obeying commands? I don’t think so! ¹⁰In the same way, when all you have done is to obey commands, you say, ‘we are just servants doing our duty’.”

11-19 Only the Gentile social outcast returned to say “thank you.”

¹¹As He went to Jerusalem He went through Samaria and Galilee. ¹²As He went into a village, ten lepers were waiting for him but at a distance. ¹³They cried out to Him, 

“Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us”.

¹⁴When He saw them, He said,

“Go and show yourself to the priest”.

As they went, they were healed. ¹⁵When one of them saw that he was healed he went back and gave glory to God. ¹⁶He fell down on His face giving Him thanks and yet he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷Jesus said to him,

“But weren’t ten healed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸Only this stranger has come back to give glory to God!”

¹⁹He said to him,

“Stand up and go on your way, your faith has made you whole.”

“… He went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.” Matthew 14:23. 

Jesus taught His disciples what we call ‘The Lord’s Prayer’; (Luke 11).

Listen here to Albert Malotte’s ‘The Lord’s Prayer’. 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, 

thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day our daily bread. 

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever;- Amen.

Prayer suggestions;-

1. The world. (ie ‘For those in authority.’)
2. The ‘suffering church.’ https://barnabasfund.org/nz/pray/daily-prayer/#previous-dates
3. Your own situation. (Suggest ‘needs’ rather than ‘wants’.)

Pray along with this hymn… He touched me and made me whole …
