Message from Caleb Nelson on July 19, 2026

Is there a situation in your life that just isn't right? Are you frustrated by the injustice of it all? Do you feel like God must be plugging His ears to your prayers? Jesus told a story that shows how much our Judge loves our audacity—our chutzpah—our relentless asking. He doesn't just want polite prayers; He invites us to come boldly with our needs, doubts, and frustrations.

PARABLES: Jesus The Storyteller Our Posture toward God and Everybody Else Luke 18:9-14 live streamed on July 12, 2026

NO ONE TELLS YOU THIS WHEN YOU FIRST BEGIN FOLLOWING JESUS…If you walk with Jesus long enough—if you begin to take prayer seriously, if your relationship with Him becomes more than a Sunday habit and instead becomes the deepest priority of your life—you will almost certainly be led into seasons of silence and hiddenness. Not because God has abandoned you, but because He is forming you. We all imagine the spiritual life moving from one mountaintop to the next, from breakthrough to breakthrough, from answered prayer to answered prayer. But Jesus often leads His closest friends into places where there are no crowds, no applause, no obvious victories—only the quiet work of trust. The path of intimacy inevitably passes through hidden places. There, stripped of noise, recognition, and certainty,We begin to discover that God's greatest gift is not always what He places in our hands, but what He cultivates in our hearts: a holy dependence on His presence.

Why is salvation impossible for us? And what has Jesus done to make it possible?"Jesus Replied, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God.'” — Luke 18:27Today's Episode: Natalie Abbott takes a deep dive into Luke 18 and helps us understand one of Jesus's most hope-filled—and often misunderstood—statements.We often use this verse when life feels difficult or overwhelming. But in its original context, Jesus is talking about something even bigger: salvation. We cannot make ourselves right with God. We cannot earn his favor or fix our own souls.Natalie walks us through the stories surrounding Luke 18:27, including the Pharisee and the tax collector, the rich ruler, and Zacchaeus. You'll be reminded that salvation is not something we achieve through good behavior, hard work, or religious effort. It is the impossible gift God has made possible through Jesus.This Month's Memory Verse:"Jesus replied, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God.''

Luke 18:31-19:10

In Luke 18, Jesus shows us two very different approaches to God. One person trusted in his own goodness, while the other came with humility and a desperate need for mercy.This sermon explores the difference between pride and humility, and how an honest heart before God leads to transformation.

We welcome Rev. Chuck Tedrick to our pulpit this morning. He is the Dean of Students and Director of Alumni Relations at Westminster Seminary in California.IntroductionChrist tells a parable about one of the world's worst prayers, immediately followed by one of the world's most beautiful prayers. The warning is that some trusted in themselves, believing they were righteous, and treated others with contempt.Two men from the same covenant community go to the same temple service. Both stand to pray. Both address God. Yet everything else about their prayers reveals two completely different kinds of people. There is one group that looks to God's grace in Christ alone for salvation. Another group who looks to themself. One represents the humble; the other, the prideful. Christ presents two characters to represent these positions. We would expect the Pharisee to be praised by Christ. We would expect the tax collector to be condemned. However, we see that Christ does the opposite. Why does Christ condemn the hero while exalting the expected villain? The Prideful PrayerThe Pharisee enters the temple with impressive religious credentials. In his day, Pharisees were the most pious, conservative, and scrupulous religious leaders. They took God's law seriously. Tragically, they valued the law, but not the law's giver. His heart is far from God and the Lord's grace. Standing by himself, he prays: "God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get." This is impressive and intimidating. Notice what is missing. He thanks God for nothing. He is not thankful for the Lord's grace that has moved him past previous sins. He does not see God as the giver of his daily provision. He does not see that he needs the Lord's grace and mercy to stand strong. He compares himself to others and finds himself superior. He lists sins he has avoided (theft, adultery, injustice) and works he has exceeded (fasting beyond requirement, giving above the tithe).Notice that he never mentions his own sins: coveting, gossip, envy, impatience, or the self-righteousness and contempt pouring from his heart. He has not loved God with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength, nor has he loved his neighbor as himself. The tragedy is not that he hasn't traveled far enough down the road of good works, but that he is on the wrong road entirely. He travels the "law road" when he needs the "faith road." He tries to justify himself through works when Scripture declares that "by works of the law no one will be justified." He trusts in himself rather than in God's promise.The Humble PrayerThe tax collector represents the opposite extreme of Jewish society. Tax collectors were despised as traitors and thieves. They compromised their Jewish purity by collaborating with Rome. In fact, they extorted money from their own people. His posture is different from that of the previous man. He stands "far off," unable to lift his eyes to heaven, beating his breast in grief. His prayer is devastatingly simple: "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." He knows he needs the Lord's mercy and grace. He knows that he cannot stand on his own. He compares himself to God and finds himself wanting. He recognizes he has nothing to offer. He does not have a righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees. All he asks for is mercy. He does not have a resume that proves his worthiness. No, he is confronted by the reality that he is a desperate sinner on thin ice. The word he uses for "mercy" is propitiation. This is a traditional word that refers to the turning away of God's wrath through sacrifice. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest would confess sins over a scapegoat sent into the wilderness and sprinkle blood on the mercy seat. This tax collector understands what the Pharisee misses: the wages of sin are death, and we need a substitute.Jesus is that substitute. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. On the cross, He became the propitiation for our sins, enduring the wrath we deserved, and dying in our place. Christ gives the assurance that the tax collector goes home justified. He sees that his redemption and righteousness are outside himself, and he looks to the mercy of God found in Christ.Christ's VerdictJesus delivers a shocking verdict: "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other."Jesus does not prescribe penance for this man to complete. No "try harder and check back later." The tax collector goes home forgiven, declared righteous, at peace with God. The Pharisee goes home still an enemy of the Lord.Jesus concludes with a kingdom principle that reverses worldly wisdom: "Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." This is so contrary to the world's order. In the world's economy, self-promotion leads to success. In God's economy, humility leads to exaltation. Justification is a matter of God's mercy, not human merit.Luke immediately gives us proof in the very next chapter. Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, climbs a tree to see Jesus because he has heard that this Teacher declares even tax collectors forgiven. When Jesus announces, "Today salvation has come to this house," the crowd grumbles: "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." But Jesus responds: "The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."ConclusionThis parable serves as both comfort and warning. For those who come to God saying, "Be merciful to me, a sinner," there is immediate justification, peace with God, and the gift of righteousness through faith in Christ alone. For those trusting in their own goodness, religious activity, or moral superiority, there remains judgment. Paul tells us to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. This is a call to examine your own heart. Do you compare yourself to others so that you are thankful you are not "like that person"? Or are you comparing yourself to God's holy standard and finding yourself desperate for grace?Repent and believe. Come to the cross empty-handed, clinging only to Christ. For everyone who humbles himself will be exalted, and everyone who exalts himself will be humbled. The tax collector went home justified. Find your identity and life in Christ rather than yourself.
