Listen "Trust The Source—Recreate Church, Pastor Michael Shockley—Service, November 23, 2025"
Episode Synopsis
Trust The Source
Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church
Scripture: Luke 17:11-19
Episode Summary
In this Thanksgiving 2025 message, Pastor Michael takes us through the chaotic "Grocery Store Gauntlet" to illustrate how we scramble for resources while forgetting the Source behind them all. Through Jesus' healing of ten lepers, we discover that only one returned to thank Him - and he received not just physical healing but spiritual wholeness. This Thanksgiving, don't just enjoy the resources; return to the Source.
Key Points
- We get caught up in resources (things we use) and forget the Source (where they come from)
- Jesus healed ten lepers as they walked in faith, showing that healing often comes as we move forward with God
- Ten men received physical healing, but only one - a Samaritan outsider - returned to thank Jesus
- The one who returned got healed on the inside, not just the outside
Main Takeaway
USE the Resource, TRUST the Source. Every good thing in our lives - money, jobs, health, family, material possessions - are resources to use wisely and be thankful for. But our true security doesn't come from resources that can run out; it comes from Jesus, the Source who will never run out on us.
Memorable Quotes
- "USE the RESOURCE, TRUST the SOURCE."
- "Thankfulness doesn't start in your cart — it starts in your heart."
- "If your gratitude depends on your resources, it's always at risk; but if your gratitude is based in THE Source, it doesn't matter how much or how little you have."
- "So much of the time, healing comes AS WE GO. The Lord brings change to our lives AS WE WALK WITH HIM."
- "They all recognized the RESOURCE, but only one recognized THE SOURCE. Ten men used the resource, but only one returned to The Source. They got healed on the outside. He got healed on the inside."
- "Resources can run out. Jesus Is THE SOURCE of everything good, and He will never run out on you."
Reflection Question
Are you living like the nine who used the blessing and moved on, or like the one who returned to thank the Source of all blessings?
