Forgiveness | Chris McGarvey

Pastor David preaches out of Luke 17:1–3, where Jesus warns His disciples that stumbling blocks are inevitable, but woe to the one through whom they come. Jesus calls His followers to self-examination and vigilance, urging them not to hinder the “little ones” from entering the kingdom but to reflect His mercy through humility and gospel-shaped hospitality.

We are so glad you've joined New North Church for service today! How do we navigate through this land, or kingdom, in between? This week, Pastor Rob continues to explore the Both/And tension from Luke 17:20-21, as Paul tells us that the kingdom of God is already here, is not here yet, and is coming. Watch this week's message for the five ways God shapes how we live now.Rob HallMay 18, 2025Luke 17:20-21Both/Andwww.newnorth.church

People asked Jesus about when and where the kingdom of God would come, but Jesus focused on the fact that it's already present and how we should live until the end.

32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will loseit, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.  Luke17:30-36 describes what will occur when Jesus Christ returns in judgment todefeat His enemies and establish His kingdom on earth (Rev. 19:11-20:6).Believers in every age of the church can take warning from these verses, butthey apply in a special way to Israel at the end of the age (see Matt.24:29-44). When Jesus comes for His church and takes it to heaven, it willhappen "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" (1 Cor.15:52). Nobody taking part in the rapture of the church need worry about beingon a housetop or in a field and wanting to get something out of the house!However, when the Lord returns to the earth, His coming will first be precededby a "sign" in heaven (Matt. 24:30-31), and some people might try tohurry home to rescue something. "Remember Lot's wife!" Theverb taken in Luke 17:34-36 does not mean "taken to heaven" but"taken away in judgment" (Matt. 24:36-41). The person"left" is a believer who enters into the kingdom. Noah and his familywere "left" to enjoy a new beginning, while the whole population ofthe earth was "taken" in the Flood. In spite of their sins, Lot andhis daughters were "left" while the people in Sodom and Gomorrah were"taken" when the fire and brimstone destroyed the cities. Thefact that it is night in Luke 17:34 but day in Luke 17:35-36 indicates that thewhole world will be involved in the return of Jesus Christ in glory. "Behold,He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him" (Rev. 1:7). Threetimes the disciples had heard Jesus talk about people being "taken"and "left," so they asked Him a most logical question: "Where,Lord?" Our Lord's reply has the sound of a familiar proverb: "Justas the eagles [and vultures, Matt. 24:28] gather at a corpse, so the lost willbe gathered together for judgment." The description of the last battlein Revelation 19:17-21 certainly parallels the image of carrion-eating birdsgorging themselves on flesh. Inother words, when the Lord Jesus returns to judge His enemies, there will be aseparation of the saved and the lost. Whether it be day or night, whetherpeople are working or sleeping, the separation and judgment will come. Thosewho are saved will be left to enter the glorious kingdom, while those who arelost will be taken away in judgment. Eventhough the primary interpretation of these verses is for Israel in the endtimes, they do emphasize for the church the importance of being ready whenJesus returns. We must not be like Lot's wife whose heart was so in Sodom thatshe looked back in spite of the angels' warning (Gen. 19:17, 26). There aremany professed Christians today whose plans would be interrupted if Jesusreturned! (note 1 Thes. 5:1-11) Our Lord's warning in Luke 17:33 findsparallels in Matthew 10:39; Luke 9:24; and John 12:25, and is a fundamentalprinciple of the Christian life. The only way to save your life is to lose itfor the sake of Christ and the Gospel. Jesuspictured civilization as a "rotting corpse" that would one day beripe for judgment. The discerning believer sees evidence of this on every handand realizes that the "days of Noah" and the "days of Lot"are soon on us. Our Lord can return for His church at any time, so we are notlooking for signs; but we do know that "coming events cast their shadowsbefore." As we see many of these things begin to come to pass (Luke21:28), we know that His return is nearing. Arewe looking for His return, and do we really want to see Him come? Remember, Lot'swife, and don't look back but be looking up! Godbless.

26 Andas it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son ofMan: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed themall. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, theybought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot wentout of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. InLuke 17, Jesus, on His way to Jerusalem, has been especially teaching Hisdisciples about forgiveness (vv. 1-6), faithfulness (vv. 7-10), and thankfulness(vv. 11-19). In verse 20, the Pharisees brought up the subject of the coming ofthe “Kingdom of God”, referring to the time when the Messiah would set up Hiskingdom on earth. Jesus reminded them to quit looking for a physical, political,and material kingdom and to look for a spiritual one (v. 21).Thenin Luke 17:22-30, Jesus turns and speaks to His disciples about His return, theday of the Son of Man. Today, this passage challenges us to live withreadiness, not distracted by the world's noise or lulled into complacency.Jesus uses vivid Old Testament examples to show how sudden and certain Hiscoming will be, urging us to stay faithful and alert.Jesus warnsHis disciples that a time will come when they'll long for His presence, but itwon't be as they expect. False voices will cry out, “He's here! He's there!”but Jesus says not to chase them. His return will be unmistakable, likelightning flashing across the sky. It will be sudden, visible to all, andimpossible to miss (Read Revelation 1:7; and 19:11-16). Yet, before that day,He must suffer and be rejected, a reminder that the path to glory goes throughthe cross (v. 25).Todrive home the urgency, Jesus points to two Old Testament events: the days ofNoah and the days of Lot. In both, people were consumed with everydaylife—eating, drinking, marrying, buying, selling, building. There's nothingwrong with these activities, but the problem was their focus. They were sowrapped up in the ordinary that they ignored the warnings of coming judgment. BothNoah and Lot lived in days of religious compromise and moral declension, notunlike our present time. During "the days of Noah," population growthwas significant (Gen. 6:1), lawlessness was on the increase (Gen. 6:5), and theearth was given over to violence (Gen. 6:11, 13). In Lot's day, the unnaturallusts of Sodom and Gomorrah were so abhorrent to God that He completelydestroyed the cities. Only Lot, two of his daughters, and his wife (who laterwas destroyed) were saved from the terrible judgment.Jesussays it will be the same when He returns. The world will be caught off guard,living as if life will go on forever. But for those who follow Him, the call isclear: stay awake, stay faithful, and don't get lulled into spiritual sleep.This isn't about obsessing over dates or signs but about living each day withpurpose, doing God's work, and keeping our hearts fixed on Him. The suddennessof His coming isn't meant to scare us but to spur us to live differently. To beready, expectant, and aligned with His kingdom.So,here's the challenge for us this week: Live ready. Take a moment each morningto ask yourself, “If Jesus returned today, would I be found displaying thereality of Jesus Christ in my life. Living a life of forgiveness, faithfulness,and thankfulness because of my faith and love for the Lord?”  Today, identify one area where you're temptedto drift into complacency—maybe it's neglecting prayer, chasing distractions,or ignoring a call to serve. Commit to one intentional action to counter thatdrift.  Maythe Lord help us to be prepared for His coming living with eternity in view andnot be caught off guard like the world was in Noah's or Lot's day. Will you be readywhen He comes?

Today,It is my prayer today that our Heavenly Father will open our hearts to His Wordand help us understand the true nature of His kingdom and how it transforms usfrom within. And that He would guide us by His Spirit to live as citizens of Hiskingdom. ThePharisees were looking for a kingdom they could see. Along with most of theJewish people thew were looking for a grand, political empire that wouldelevate their nation and crush their enemies. They wanted a Messiah who wouldarrive with pomp, power, and a clear timeline. When John the Baptist showed upwith his message, some thought he might be the Messiah (John 1:19-27). But thenthe attention of the nation turned to Jesus, especially after John wasbeheaded. Jesus'response to their question about the kingdom turned their expectations upsidedown. The kingdom of God, He said, doesn't come with “observation”, which meantit wasn't going to come with fanfare or visible signs you can point to and say,“There it is!” God's plan for a visible, millennial kingdom was dependent uponthe Jews' accepting the spiritual truths of the kingdom as preached by John andJesus (John 3:1-12). The mystery parables of Matthew 13 reveal that the plan toestablish an earthly kingdom was postponed because of the Jews' attitude towardthe King. Instead, Jesus answer is that His kingdom is already present, workingin a way they couldn't imagine: within people's hearts. Jesus'words should challenge us to rethink what God's kingdom is. It's not aboutexternal power, wealth, or status. It's not confined to a specific place or adramatic event. The kingdom of God is spiritual, transforming us from theinside out. It begins when we surrender to Jesus as King, allowing Hislove, grace, and truth to reign in our hearts. This kingdom changes how wethink, act, and love others. It makes us humble where we were proud, generouswhere we were selfish, and hopeful where we were discouraged. WhenJesus told the Pharisees, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He wasn't sayingthey already had it—they rejected Him! Instead, He was pointing to Himself, theKing standing in their midst, and urging them to recognize the kingdom'spresence through a changed heart. For us, this means the kingdom is alreadyhere, accessible through faith in Christ. It's in the quiet moments when wechoose forgiveness over bitterness, service over selfishness, or trust in Godover worry. It's in the way we reflect Jesus to the world. Jesustaught us to pray, “Thy Kingdom come….”. In Matthew chapters 5-7, Jesus gave usthe “principles of the kingdom”. Only by the new spiritual birth (John 3:3-7),can we see or enter this kingdom. And then only by His Holy Spirit living withinus can we experience the reality of living by the principles of His kingdom. Today,this truth should challenges us. Like the Pharisees, we can get caught uplooking for God's kingdom in the wrong places, expecting it in materialsuccess, public recognition, or a perfect life. Jesus calls us to look inward.Is His kingdom ruling in our hearts? Are we living as His ambassadors, showingHis love and truth in our everyday actions? Maythe Lord help us to focus on cultivating God's kingdom within. Before I get outof bed each day, I pray the Lord's Prayer to remind myself that I want to experienceHis Lordship in every aspect of my life. Today, would you take five minutes topray and ask God to reveal one area of your heart where He wants to reign morefully, maybe it's an attitude, a habit, or a relationship. Then, take onepractical step to align that area with His kingdom values.   Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank Youfor being our King and bringing Your kingdom near. Help us to seek Your kingdomwithin our hearts, not in the things of this world (Matthew 6:33). Transform usby Your Spirit to live as Your people, reflecting Your love and truth. Guide usin this week's challenge to let You reign in every part of our lives. Amen.

InLuke chapter 17, Jesus, on His way to Jerusalem, is teaching His disciples somepowerful lessons they'll need to learn and practice if they are going to befollowers of Jesus, making a difference in the world and turning it upside downfor the kingdom of God. He teaches about forgiveness—you're going to beoffended, sometimes by those closest to you, and you have to forgive. Then,you'll need faith to do that, which means being obedient.  You'realso going to practice faithfulness in such a way that, no matter how hard youwork, how much you serve, or how tired you are, you simply do the task at handbecause God has commanded you to do it—not out of duty, but out of love andcompassion for Him. You depend on His Holy Spirit to fill you to accomplishthat purpose as a servant of the living God. We are called to the privilege ofserving the Lord; it's not a right, but a privilege, a calling from God forevery believer. From there, we learn thankfulness, and that's what this lessonis about. Nowin Luke 17:11-19, “It happened as Jesus went to Jerusalem, passing throughthe midst of Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a certain village, He met tenmen who were lepers, who stood afar off. They lifted up their voices and said,“Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” When He saw them, He said, “Go, showyourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed. One of them, whenhe saw that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, glorified God. Hefell down on his face at Jesus' feet, giving Him thanks—and he was a Samaritan.Jesus answered and said, “Were not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Werethere not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”Then Jesus said to the Samaritan, “Arise, go your way; your faith has made youwell.” Jesusis talking about how, when God does wonderful things for us, we experience Hisgoodness, grace, and mercy. As we are being obedient and faithful, we should bethankful. Gratefulness is an attitude of the heart that reflects our humilityand the grace of God in our lives, recognizing that every good gift, everyperfect gift, and every opportunity we have to serve—every divine appointmentwe're part of—comes from the Lord Himself. We have that wonderful privilege,and we should return to give Him thanks. Whatwe had here were ten men who were lepers, a picture of sin. These men werelost, helpless, and hopeless. They hear the Master coming—one of them aSamaritan—in the midst of Galilee and Samaria, as Jesus is on His way toJerusalem. They call out, “Master, Teacher,” the same word Peter used,recognizing that He has command over everything. He can command demons toleave; He can command sickness to leave.  Sothey called out in faith, believing He can do something, and Jesus says, “Go,show yourselves to the priests.” They weren't healed when He spoke the word,but as they turned to go, they were immediately healed. Can you imagine that?They turned to go, and all of a sudden, that leprosy was gone. The nine of themran to fulfill the law, but the one who was a Samaritan ran to the One who wasthe fulfillment of the law—Jesus Christ. He fell down and worshiped Him. Thenine went to worship in a temple; this man made an altar at the feet of Jesus.He fell at His feet and worshiped Him. Jesussaid to him, “Arise, go your way; your faith has saved you.” Those nine men gothealed physically; this man got healed spiritually as well when he found thegrace of God through a thankful, humble heart. “For by grace are you savedthrough faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works,lest any man should boast.”  Myfriend, be grateful, be thankful, and live a life of gratitude to a holy God,because when we're not thankful, we become vain in our imaginations, and ourfoolish hearts are darkened (Romans 1). Beforgiving, be faithful, and be thankful.

Lukechapter 17:1 begins with, "Then He said to His disciples."Jesus is teaching His disciples some powerful lessons, first about forgiveness,faith, and obedience in these opening verses. But now, in verses 7 through 10,He's teaching a lesson about faithfulness. My friend, when you live a life offorgiveness, faith, and obedience, doing what you're supposed to do as abeliever, you will be faithful despite what's going on around you, and you'llbe faithful for the right reasons with the right motives. Thispassage of Scripture warns to beware of offenses, they're going to come. Thegreatest offenses that come to you and me don't come from the outside worldthat hates Jesus, hates us, and hates the gospel. No, the great and painfuloffenses come from those we go to the house of God with, those we worship with;another pastor, another believer, another co-worker. That offense happens andgoes deep into our hearts, sometimes from a family member who's abusive or sayssomething hurtful. Those are the offenses we have to deal with, and many times,they cause us to quit. We throw in the towel and say, "If that'sChristianity, I want none of it." So,the Lord has a powerful lesson in verses 7-10. Youknow, so often I find that many believers, because of their past sins andoffenses toward God, and the sense that when they realize God's forgiven them,they are grateful and thankful. But they do what I call religious compensation—theytry to pay God back for His goodness. My friend, you can never pay God back,and to serve trying to pay God back is not the right motive to serve the Lord.The main motive to serve the Lord is because you love Him. "If you loveMe, you will keep My commandments." The main purpose and motive inserving the Lord is to glorify Him. When you're doing everything, whatever youdo, you do it with all your might and to the glory of God. You don't do it toget a pat on the back. Somany believers, so many Christians, serve to be recognized by somebody else—bythe pastor, some leaders, or to work their way up in leadership and be somebodyimportant. My friend, those are the wrong motives in service. Jesus makes itreally clear because here is a servant who's serving, watching sheep, plowingin the fields. Jesus used those illustrations often because we are like sheep.We're shepherding sheep as pastors, ministers, and co-workers with the Lord.We're plowing fields, working in the fields, sowing in the fields, trying toreach the harvest fields for Christ. So He says, "You're working in thefields, and you come home—do you expect a pat on the back?" No, He says,"Sit down and make me a meal." JesusHimself set the great example. He said, "I didn't come to be served; Icame to serve and to give My life a ransom." He set the example. He becameobedient to death, obedient to the death of the cross. He made Himself aservant; He humbled Himself. Humility is involved here because if we're notcareful, as workers and co-laborers with God, with faith to cast mountains intothe sea, we might get proud, and God's going to have to bring us down somehow.  So,Jesus is making it very clear here: serve with the right motives, serve for theglory of God, serve because you're simply being obedient. As you're living alife of forgiveness, handling those offenses that come, and living a life offaith, you will be faithful despite what's going on around you for the glory ofGod. Beencouraged today to be faithful. It's required in a steward that he be foundfaithful (1 Corinthians 4:2).

Today,we're moving on to Luke chapter 17, verses 1-6. Jesus has just rebuked andwarned the Pharisees about a place called hell if they continue in theirreligious hypocrisy and offend young believers as they sneer and mock JesusChrist. Now Jesus turns to His disciples in verse 1 and says to them, "Itis impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom theycome." Basically, He's saying that when we live in this world and dealwith its issues and problems, a broken world with a broken humanity, offensesare going to come. We are going to commit them, and they will be committedagainst us. Jesusis now speaking to the disciples, preparing them for the time when He will begone. They will, in a sense, replace Him as His witnesses on earth to spread Hiskingdom message to the world. As He nears the end of His three-and-a-half-yearministry, on His way to Jerusalem, He turns to these disciples and talks aboutforgiveness and faith—forgiveness and obedience. Jesus warns, "Woe tohim through whom they come." We don't want to be like the Phariseesand offend people.  Inverse 2, He adds, "It would be better for him if a millstone were hungabout his neck and he were thrown into the sea than that he should offend oneof these little ones." The "little ones" here refer to youngbelievers or even little children who need to be led in a proper and good way. Itis our responsibility to take the opportunity to teach them the truths aboutGod and His Word. We must careful to never offend them, lead them astray, usecurse words in front of them, tell them dirty jokes, or expose them to thingsthey shouldn't be exposed to. My friend, to do so would be a terrible thing. Amillstone is a heavy stone, and God says it would be better to face thatbecause you'll face judgment for it yourself one day. So don't offend others. Inverse 3, Jesus says, "Take heed to yourselves." Watch out forone another, be careful as you live among others, and take heed to be kind,gracious, loving, and, most importantly, forgiving. "Take heed toyourselves. If a brother sins against you, rebuke him, and if he repents,forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day and seven times in aday returns to you and says, ‘I repent,' you shall forgive him." Theapostles responded to the Lord, "Increase our faith." Now,I don't know about you, but I probably would have said, "Increase mylove." I would have a hard time loving someone who keeps offending meseven times in a day, maybe with the same offense, saying or doing the samething, and then having to say, "I forgive you" when he asks forforgiveness. I'd say, "Increase my love for this person." But thedisciples say, "Increase our faith."  Why?Because faith is an act of obedience. Obedience is doing what the Lord tells usto do. They're asking, "Help us to be obedient to follow you."Scripture says in 1 Corinthians 13 that love does not carry offenses; it doesnot remember wrongs, it sets them aside. So, Jesus tells us to forgive them,and we say, "Increase our faith." TheLord responds, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you'll say to thismulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and itwould obey you." Oh, my friend, Jesus said, "You don't need awhole lot of faith to do this; you just need to act in obedience." It'slike a little mustard seed, but it has life in it. When you are obedient,there's life in that, the Holy Spirit's life is in it. I'm telling you, Godgives you the grace to overcome the hurt, the pain, and the offense. Instead ofgetting bitter, guess what? You get bigger and better for the glory of Godbecause that little seed grows into more fruit for His glory. Oh,God, help us to follow the Scriptures ourselves today. This is a message forHis disciples—for you and me—to be people who reflect the love, grace, andforgiveness of God to the world around us. May the Lord help us to do it today. Godbless.

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Evangelism: Sharing the Good News On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: These verses come from a conversation when a Pharisees ask Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?” I got the impression that people were consistently talking about the coming of the Kingdom of God back then. It is interesting that in this passage, Jesus compares the time of His return both to the days of Noah and the days of Lot. Did you notice that?  Do you ever feel like talking about Jesus coming again is a little kookie, or crazy? Does it feel more like a conspiracy theory, like aliens and UFOs?  The second coming of Jesus makes some people uncomfortable, but for others, it fills them with joy. What is the difference? The reading for the day is: Joshua 11:1–12:24 Luke 17:11-37 Psalm 84:1-12 Proverbs 13:5-6

Deuteronomy - Blessings at Gerizim. Consequences of disobedience. Luke - Instructions. Ten lepers cleansed. Second coming foretold.

Luke 17:20-36 & 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 - Very Soon - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Luke/a1398.pdf

You ever feel like serving costs more than it's worth? Like obedience is inconvenient… and forgiveness feels unfair? This message from Pastor Derek flips all that upside down. Because in the Kingdom of God, the path forward is found in going low. ✔️ Serve even when it's hard ✔️ Forgive even when it's undeserved ✔️ Obey even when it's inconvenient Jesus didn't come to be served—He came to serve. And if He did it, we can too. This week, choose the posture that unlocks reconciliation, faith, and purpose. Just do it.

Rest from these efforts comes in heaven. Jesus later heals ten lepers, but only one, a Samaritan, comes back to thank Him. Gratitude is a crucial element of faith and ongoing faithfulness. Pharisees then ask Jesus about the kingdom, and He explains that it is already in their midst. They are looking for a major political upheaval. One was coming, but not as they expected. It would be the destruction of Jerusalem as judgment for rejecting the Son of God. Jesus gives a deep description of what that will be like and how devastating it will be.  Jesus is protective of His brothers and sisters. We must see that and reflect that same love in the way we support our Christian family. There will be sin, and correction will be needed. But the goal is always repentance and fellowship. Sometimes this means our own repentance. This is not easy, but we are unworthy slaves of our King and must tirelessly pursue His ways. Gratitude will help. We, like the lepers, have been cured of a deadly disease. To come to Him and express thanks at His feet humbles us and helps us approach people with the right heart. Like the Jews did in 70 A.D., everyone will answer for their faith. Commit to deepening your trust in Him.   “Increase our faith!” We proclaim these same words the apostles uttered to Christ so many years ago. Deepen our trust, renovate our hearts, and make us more like Him in every part of our lives. We pray for more gratitude so that we can be much more open to extending grace to others. Your Son has healed us. He has saved us from the judgment to come. We acknowledge our responsibility in connection with that. We know this means being mindful of Jesus and doing everything we can to help reconcile others to You. Gracious Lord, please increase our faith! -       How are you at forgiving others, or even the willingness to do so? Is this something worth praying about, and how will that help? -       What has Christ done for you that makes you grateful today? How can that attitude fuel your thinking and words all day long? -       Jerusalem was destroyed and only a few were prepared and survived. How do you stay ready and alert for the day of final judgment?

Luke 17:20-36 & Genesis 6 - Happening Now - Part 2  - Pastor Dan Plourde

Luke 17:11-19 King James Version 11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.   12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:   13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.   14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.   15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,   16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.   17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?   18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.   19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.   What do you do after you have been delivered by God?  How do you live? What do you changed now that you have been changed?  You been given life when everyone else counted you out?  You doubted yourself at time? If you have ever been saved by God from something, this message is for you.
