Loving and
Learning in Lodi October 13 2019
On Sunday,
we’ll look at ‘Jesus and Outcasts.’ I don’t think I’ve ever been in the
‘outcast’ category, but I have known what it is to feel out-of-place like an
‘outsider.’ When my mom died, I was 16 years old. All my other friends and
classmates still had both of their parents. I was the only one who had a
deceased parent. While everyone was more than kind and supportive, I still had
the sense of being an outsider…one of a kind in my world of school, church and
friends.
Have you ever been an ‘outsider’…standing on the outside looking in or been one
of a kind? More so, have you ever been an ‘outcast’…deliberately left out and
overlooked? We’ll look at what Jesus said and did to include all people in his
love and ministry.
See you
Sunday!

Scripture
Luke 17:11 –

Common English Bible
On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and
Galilee. As he entered a village, ten men with skin diseases approached him.
Keeping their distance from him, they raised their voices and said, “Jesus,
Master, show us mercy!”
When Jesus saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” As they
left, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw that he had been healed,
returned and praised God with a loud voice. He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet
and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus replied, “Weren’t ten cleansed?
Where are the other nine? No one returned to praise God except this foreigner?”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up and go. Your faith has healed you.”
Leader: The word
of God for the people of
God.
People: Thanks be to God.
