A Parable About Pride & Humility
One day Jesus told a parable where two men prayed. One was a Pharisee, viewed by many as a pillar of the community…devoted, committed, benevolent. The other was a tax collector, vilified by the people because of his blatant corruption.
This Sunday Pastor Bill brings the message, and we’ll be looking at the prayers of these two men in Jesus’ parable. At the end of the day, Jesus said it was the tax collector, not the Pharisee, who was approved by God. How did this happen? What exactly did these two men pray, and how did they pray, that brought about such an unexpected result? This is what we’ll explore as we gather on Sunday, and see what Jesus intends to teach us about the attitude of our hearts.
You can prepare by doing the following two things:
-
Read Luke 18:9-14
-
Go HERE and watch this video called “Jesus, Friend of Sinners”
