    In the parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector, we’ll be looking at those prayers God hears. However, is all speech skyward prayer, and are they the prayers God hears and answers. In a study of contrast, Jesus’s looks at prayer and the type of prayers God hears.

    If we are all we have, we better hang onto it. But those who are full of God can’t wait to give it away.

    Show me the alley, show me the train, Show me the homeless man who sleeps out in the rain... And I’ll show you a young man with so many reasons why, There but for fortune go you or I, you or I. Show me the whiskey stains on the floor, Show me the drunkard as he stumbles out the door... And I’ll ...read more

    Paul expresses what God delights to see when His people gather. Men to seek God and pray with pure hearts, women dressed to honour God, and both men and women playing their distinct roles in serving God.

    1 Timothy 2:8-15 What God Delights to See 1 Tim 2:8-15 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarrelling; 9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with ...read more

    In this parable, we will see that one man came to the temple that day to worship himself. The other man came that day to worship the Lord.

    LUKE 18:9-14 "THE DOWNWARD CLIMB UP" September 14, 2025 This sermon is inspired by my time with the late Crawford Kimble.

    The foundation of character is a personal concern for one’s sin.

    A. INTRODUCTION: LUKE 18:9-14 Christ reproves two sins, (1) pride in one self, and (2) despising other people. He uses a negative illustration of the Pharisee who is guilty of both. He uses the Publican as a positive illustration of humility and meekness. B. SIMILARITIES OF THE PHARISEE AND ...read more

    "Can You Hear Me Now?” (Sermon 2 Of 3 On Prayer)

     | 1,359 views

    Pastors do a lot of preaching on prayer because they know how important it is to us Christians.

    But many preachers are guilty of telling Christians they should pray, but they do not tell them from the scriptures HOW TO PRAY EFFECTIVELY. The fact is, if we cannot pray effective prayers why bother to pray at all. If you ask the average Christian do they know how to pray they would tell you ...read more

    Is it permissible for a believer to lead a dichotomous life? Here’s what the word of God teaches about hypocrisy, and the kind of life that God expects us to lead as His disciples.

    Jesus’ words to his disciples in Luke 12:1, “Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of ...read more

    God’s will for you every day is to drink of His Spirit, worship in spirit and truth, and tell others about His Son. If you pursue just these three desires of God every day, you’ll live a full life without all the hassle and hurry.

    Alan Fadling, in his book An Unhurried Life, tells a parable of a king who had two servants. One of the servants, for fear of not pleasing his master, rose early each day to hurry along to do all the things that he believed the king wanted done. He didn't want to bother the king with ...read more

    30th Sunday-- The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2022
     | 953 views

    Dorotheos said that the Pharisee was doing the right thing when he thanked God for giving him the ability to do good—as should they (the monks) themselves. The Pharisee only did one thing wrong: he passed judgment on the tax collector.

    Our Gospel today begins with some challenging words, “to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.” There’s an old joke about a psychiatrist who is seeing a new patient for the first time. The psychiatrist says, “I’m not aware of your issue, so maybe you ...read more

    Am I A Whitewashed Christian?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 14, 2022
     | 1,359 views

    A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, directions, guidance, and characteristics that Christ gave to us. Secondly, what is whitewashed? It is the concealment or covering of flaws, failures, blemishes, or unpleasant facts.

    This is the story of two men who prayed. Undoubtedly many have read or at least heard of this story. So why did I title this sermon "Am I a Whitewashed Christian? Well first, let me ask this, what is a Christian? A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, ...read more

    Do we use our knowledge of God's word to criticize others, or to become more and more humble about our own sins? Let’s learn that we are all still sinners and that God alone justifies. Let’s discuss self-righteousness and self-justification in Luke 18:9-14.
