Where Are the Nine?

Bro. Don preached from the account of the ten lepers in Luke 17, focusing on Jesus’ question, “Where are the nine?” He described the hopeless condition of leprosy as a picture of sin and emphasized that mercy, not justice, is what every sinner longs for. The message centered on the contrast between the one healed Samaritan who returned to worship, praise, and thank Jesus, and the nine who received the gift but forgot the giver. Bro. Don challenged believers to live with visible gratitude for salvation, publicly expressing their faith through worship, obedience, baptism, and daily devotion rather than becoming spiritually careless or thankless. He closed by urging the church to remember the grace of Christ and respond with humble praise, consistent service, and wholehearted thanksgiving.
