Unchained Word, Unexpected Gratitude: Endurance, Truth, and the One Who Returned
Oct 12, 2025 • Gary Sandberg
When life feels heavy and divided, how do we keep going—and keep grateful? In 2 Timothy 2:8–15, Paul calls the church to remember Jesus Christ, endure, and “rightly handle the word of truth.” In Luke 17:11–19, ten people are healed, but only one returns to give thanks—a Samaritan. This sermon weaves these texts together, showing how endurance and gratitude are not opposites but companions: the unchained gospel empowers resilient disciples who practice thankful living in a fractured world.
