October 23, 2022. As we reflect on our gospel text from Luke today, and the varying practices of Confession we each grew up with, we are invited to think about what it means for us as Christians and why Martin Luther saw it as an inherent part of the Good News that he wanted to proclaim.Readings: Jeremiah 14:7-10, 19-22, Luke 18:9-14
Before we jump into these verses, take a breathRemember who is telling the story – he is not a stranger– we know this person – this storyteller• we met him when as children we were dragged to church◦ or when a friend first introduced us◦ or when we picked up the Bible and read one of the Gospels• we know Jesus, we trust him with our lives, and we love him– it's good for us to occasionally clear our calendar,• perhaps go on retreat or find our own place of quiet solitude◦ and there, renew the intimacy of our relationship with Jesus• God sent Jesus into our world to reveal himself through him◦ in Jesus we have discovered the depth of God's love for us◦ I will always want to know Jesus better than I do now

The Great Disappointment, by Mark Pekar
Proper 25 (30) Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost (Year C, 2021-2022)Scripture Readings: Jeremiah 14:7-10, 19-22, Psalm 84:1-7, 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18, Luke 18:9-14
I love the teaching of Jesus about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:9-14. It's one thing to be right and another to be humble. Right and wrong is indeed important but not at the expense of pride, arrogance and judgmentalism.
Monologue on Zombie Catholicism. When a pro-abort, same-sex married, Protestant Mayor who is a Trustee at a Jesuit High School approaches the altar to receive Holy Communion and is given said Holy Communion, it's typically a sign that we are living in an age of Zombie Catholicism; that is, barely alive on the outside and clearly dead on the inside. This is also Finance Wednesdays - Kevin Pilon, a faithful Catholic, and Financial Advisor at Thrivent will be on answering your finance questions.

This sermon was recorded during the week for Sunday 7th March by Rev Stephen Haward. The theme is When freedom comes and is based on Genesis 8:13-22 and Luke 18:9-14 The full version of our service is available on the website.We hope to return to our church building on 22nd March.
He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
It's difficult to hear Jesus' words in the way that the first listeners heard them without understanding the culture and some the original language nuances. In this message, Pastor Paul tries to give us the ears of a first century Jew so that we can see how radical Jesus' teaching was to the culture of His day. That helps us relate His message to our lives.
A conversation about how we read this story of the Pharisee and the tax collector (publican). In what ways do we trust that we are righteous? What does that even mean? Who do we regard with contempt if any? What does it mean to be humble? Who is God in all of this? The sermon finishes with these questionsWhat limits do we seek to place on God? How do we seek to narrow the wideness of God’s mercy? What barriers do we put between those we deem unworthy and God of infinite compassion, generosity, justice?Notes for this sermon can be found here
The liturgy of the Holy Mass intends to fill us with the light of humility by modeling dependence and reliance on God through giving us what to say and when to say it; what bodily gestures to use and when to use them. To pray and to confess not just with our mouths, but with our whole heart, mind, body, and soul.

Week 2 of "Citizens"
I heard a man say one day; "The happiest people I know, are recovering Pharisees." In today's episode, I share some of my own journey of phariseeism and the dead end that it is.

Sermon 2 in this series on "Unmasking the 7 Deadly Sins. This sermon will look at the sin of pride and how we can experience God's blessings as we fight against this deadly sin and humble ourselves before HIm.
A sermon on Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.
Grace doesn't just drown out sin. It can transform us, open us up, and teach us to depend upon one another and God. Today we revisit the parable of two men praying in the Temple from Luke 18:9-14.
How often do we join the Pharisee and give in to the temptation that we have earned our salvation thanking God for our goodness? How often do we stand with the tax collector knowing we have nothing to offer, trusting in God’s deep love and thanking God for God’s goodness?
Most people see sin as something other people do, and God's great obsession. In this message Peter takes us to Luke 18:9-14 to see that sin is not what we think it is. One of sin's greatest effects is that it makes us misunderstand sin. But we will never understand sin with our brains. For clarity we must be broken and so could God be at work in our challenging circumstances? God is not primarily concerned that we conform, but that we come home . . . and that is why He takes sin so seriously!
