    A reflection on pride and humility based on the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

    I love Bible stories, and I believe many of us who grew up in the faith find them to be a beautiful source of teachings that still resonate with us today.

    How can we be both humble AND bold when we pray? Isn’t the concept of being both humble and bold contradictory?

    God values humility and is drawn to those who earnestly offer themselves to Him. We must practice honest self-talk, intentional self-awareness, and adopt an "Us for Them" mindset to embrace humility in our lives.

    Today, we're going to talk about something that Jesus taught – humility. But first, let me show you something. (Bring out a deflated balloon and a fully inflated balloon) See these balloons? One is full of air, and the other is empty. Keep these in mind as we go through our message today. So, Jesus ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on the parable of the tax collector and the Parisee. Father Dave challenges the conventional understanding of the Pharisee.
