Reflections with Andy - Luke 17: 1-10 - Accountable in Love

Andy Stoddard

In Luke 17:1–10, Jesus turns from the crowds to His disciples with a few short but powerful lessons about how to live faithfully. He warns us not to cause others to stumble — reminding us that our words and actions shape the faith of those watching us. He calls us to hold one another accountable, to lovingly correct those who wander, and to freely forgive those who repent — even when it’s hard. When the disciples cry out, “Lord, increase our faith,” Jesus reminds them that even faith as small as a mustard seed can do great things, because it’s not about how much faith we have but Who our faith is in. Finally, He calls us to simple, humble obedience — to serve faithfully without seeking praise. The message is clear: watch your witness, stay accountable, forgive freely, and above all, be faithful — because God can do extraordinary things through ordinary faithfulness.
