    Neither the Pharisee or the tax collector, and none of us have a leg to stand on when we use the standard of God to make judgments about ourselves.

    NOT A LEG TO STAND ON Luke 18:9-14 The parable of The Pharisee and the Publican, in today’s lectionary, is called the Pharisee and a tax collector. Some of you have heard four or five, maybe nine or ten, or even more sermons on this text. It’s very familiar. It’s a bible story so familiar to ...read more

    One of the greatest parables ever told was the story of the Pharisee and the Tax collector. The story is great because it has plot twists and leads to a surprise ending. The word righteousness means “right-standing”. To be righteous means to be in right

    A MAN WHO WENT HOME JUSTIFIED Luke 18: 9-14 One of the greatest parables ever told was the story of the Pharisee and the Tax collector. The story is great because it has plot twists and leads to a surprise ending. In Jesus’ day this simple story surely sent people home baffled and buzzing. The ...read more

    Sin is real. So is salvation. But we can’t really understand the joy of salvation until we understand the depths of sin from which we have been saved.

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

    Luke 18 - Jesus told them another joke. I know your translation says ’parable’ rather than ’joke’, but ’joke’ is not a bad translation. We don’t tell parables nowadays, we tell jokes, and they’re pretty similar - both have punch lines, both can help you to see life in a different way, both can ...read more

    We, as Christians, need to stop being "religious" and humbly start living for Christ.

    Two Men and God Luke 18:9-14 Are you as good as other men or as good as God? It seems that every time you talk to a “Christian” about something that is wrong in their life, the very first thing to come out of their mouth is “Well I am doing better than ole so-and-so”. Paul wrote, “There is no one ...read more

    "The Real Sinner's Prayer"

    Contributed by Ray Scott on Jul 21, 2004
    based on 84 ratings
     | 13,284 views

    In the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, we see that you can’t impress God. Having "religion" doesn’t impress God. The Publican gives the REAL "Sinner’s Prayer".

    “The REAL Sinner’s Prayer” Luke 18:9-14 INTRODUCTION: Jesus loved to speak in parables. They grabbed people’s attention. If Jesus said, “Once upon a time, there was a man who ….”, then everybody stopped to listen to the story Jesus was about to tell. It’s like … when I stop to tell a joke … ...read more
