We live in a world built on transactions. Do your part, pay your share, and someone owes you something in return. But in Luke 17, Jesus turns that system upside down. He reminds us that God does not owe us anything, and that is exactly what makes grace so amazing.

In this sermon, Fr. Alan explores Jesus’ teaching about mustard seed faith, radical forgiveness, and humble service. The life of faith is not about earning God’s favor but about living in gratitude for a grace that cannot be bought or measured.

Scripture: Luke 17:1–10

Theme: God Owes Us Nothing, and yet in Christ God gives us everything
