"Gratitude That Heals"

Oct 12, 2025  •  Rev. Billy Cerveny

In this heartfelt and relatable sermon from Luke 17:11–19, Rev. Billy Cerveny weaves humor, storytelling, and Scripture into a powerful message about gratitude and grace. Using a story about a mysterious smell in his house, he illustrates how discontentment and ingratitude can quietly poison our hearts until the Holy Spirit exposes what’s truly “behind the walls.” Through Jesus’ healing of the ten lepers, Rev. Billy reminds us that while all ten were healed, only one was saved—because his gratitude was anchored not in the gift, but in the Giver. When we fix our hearts on Jesus, gratitude becomes more than good manners—it becomes worship, transformation, and freedom.


Scripture Reference: Luke 17:11–19


Key Themes: Gratitude, Grace, Contentment, Worship, Transformation in Christ
