About the Sermon

This week’s message wraps up our Heart for the House series with the topic most of us feel the tension around: giving. But not giving out of guilt or pressure—giving that flows from grace, trust, and ownership.

The Gratitude Gap

In this one-off message, Pastor Ryan walks through Luke 17 and the story of the ten lepers—a story that exposes how easy it is to receive God’s blessing without responding to the One who gave it. It’s a message about slowing down, remembering, and learning to see God’s goodness in the middle of real-life chaos.

Called to Serve

When the early church started to grow, they faced real challenges—people were being overlooked, needs were going unmet. Instead of ignoring it, they organized for impact. In Acts 6, we see the church empower everyday believers to serve and lead, and the result was explosive growth. God’s design has always been for every believer to play a part. Serving isn’t something we have to do—it’s something we get to do. Every act of service, every hidden moment of faithfulness, builds the body and strengthens the mission.
