Talk

The Seeing that Leads to Singing

Louie Giglio
October, 15, 2023

Continuing in the Collection of talks, “All On The Altar,” Louie Giglio reminds listeners that there is a right way and a wrong way to respond to the miraculous work of God in our lives. Teaching from the text of Luke 17 and the story of the only grateful leper, Louie shows the crucial role that our ‘sight’ plays in worship.

Key Takeaway

Let us be a people, moved by the sight of God to grateful worship.

How we view God impacts…

  1. Why and how we come to church.
  2. Why and how we sing.
  3. Why and how we give.
  4. Why and how we live.
"Our giving back to God is proportionate to how we see God."

Scripture References

11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
13and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14When he saw them, he said,
“Go, show yourselves to the priests.”
And as they went, they were cleansed.
15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17Jesus asked,
“Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
18
Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”
19Then he said to him,
“Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
