    Series on men and women’s prayers in the Bible made a difference and how prayer truly is a difference maker in our lives. I borrowed the outlines from SermonCentral Pro Contributor Tim Byrd.

    Pharisee: The Presumptuous Prayer. Luke 18:9-18:14 A Preacher dies and is standing in line, waiting outside the Pearly Gates.

    This is a sermon based on a parable about a God Who does not play favorites for a people who do.

    Luke 18:9-14 “Crying Uncle” You gotta love how this parable starts out: “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable…” Amazing, in many ways, not much has changed. I suppose there have always ...read more

    At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. One trusted in himself and his righteousness. He went home dead in his sin. The other humbly confessed his sin and believed in salvation outside himself. He went home justified by God’s grace.

    Intro At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. The first man was a Pharisee. He’s the good guy. He’s respected. He’s forgotten more about the Scriptures than most of us can remember. He’s an example of how to live an upstanding life. Do as he says and ...read more

    Is Your Prayer Good Enough?

    The Pharisee made a show of his prayer with his arrogance. But the tax collector understood that the heart of prayer must be humility. We have something to learn before we kneel down to pray.

    There was a little boy who was kneeling by his bed with his mom to say his nighttime prayers. He began to shout to the top of his lungs, “Dear God, I’ve been real good this year so please let me get a new bicycle for my birthday.” His mom said, “Johny, God is not deaf; you ...read more

    To clarify the confusion between being religious and being spiritual.

    We are very religious but not too sure, if we are spiritual, what is the difference? Are they the same? On the other hand, do they have different meanings to convey? We often confuse with both the terms, they have very different meaning to convey. In order to understand them better let us first ...read more

    Luke 18: 9 – 14 / Two Praying Men Intro: The young minister often boasted in public that all the time he needed to prepare his Sunday sermon was the few minutes it took him to walk to the church from the parsonage next door.
