The disciples around Jesus felt an obligation to keep him “on task” – no need to waste his time with little children running around. Yet Jesus sees these little ones differently from them, and encourages them to come. Pastor Michael Rattin considers the humility on display in Luke 18:15-17.

The kingdom of God is already here, but not fully realized on earth. Whose kingdom are you pursuing? The scripture is from Luke 17:20-37.
Jesus is stopped on His journey to Jerusalem and heals ten lepers. Only one leper, the outcast of the outcast, returns to give thanks. The text is from Luke 17:11-19.

Continuing his sermon on the evils of a love of money, Jesus tells the story of the rich man and Lazarus. But which one was really the richer? The text is from Luke 16:19-31.
