Join Julia Jeffress Sadler as she takes us on an incredible adventure in Episode 173. On His way to Jerusalem, Jesus met ten men with leprosy and healed them, but only one, a Samaritan, returned to thank Him, showing gratitude and faith. Jesus taught about persistent prayer through a story of a widow who kept asking a judge for justice until he finally agreed, highlighting God's care for us. He also shared a story contrasting a proud Pharisee and a humble tax collector praying in the temple, teaching that humility is valued by God, and it's the humble who find favor.

This parable is used to teach about prayer. However, this passage is more about the basis of approach to God. A person who comes seeking mercy in the presence of God will have a right standing before God. Righteousness is not earned.
“Gratitude enlivens the world.” Gratitude is the emotional expression of the interchange of love between giver and receiver. So of course we're looking for more of that in public—it's the very evidence of giving to one another, grace with each other, beneficence for one another. In this conversation, Miroslav Volf and Evan Rosa discuss this remarkable interchange of love between giver and receiver that leads to gratitude. They discuss the meaning of gratitude in emotional, moral, and theological terms; and he introduces a variety of views on gratitude, from the story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, to Thomas Aquinas, to Anthony Kronman's “born-again pagan” critique of Christian gratitude, and finally Martin Luther's take on gratitude which draws on the Magnificat of Mary, which Miroslav expounds.

And God can make himself known only through those works of his which he reveals in us, and which we feel and experience within ourselves. But where there is this experience, namely, that he is a God who looks into the depths and helps only the poor, despised, afflicted, miserable, forsaken, and those who are nothing, there the hearty love for him is born. The heart overflows with gladness and goes leaping and dancing for the great pleasure it has found in God.” (from Martin Luther's Commentary on the Magnificat)“God is the one who, in humility, always reaches to that which is lower than God in order to lift it up. And that's how he comes to the nobodies, to the despised, which are primarily the objects of God's love.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfSpecial thanks to Robert Emmons, Pete Hill, and the Gratitude to God Project for helping make this episode possibleEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

July 9, 2023Pastor Matt KendrickPharisee and Tax CollectorLuke 18:9-14In this parable, Jesus is getting to this implicit question: who is really righteous in God's sight? Who is truly part of His kingdom?Meaning and purpose come only when God is in the center of our lives, not ourselves.The Pharisee had an inflated sense of self and a deflated sense of God.The tax collector was justified because he humbled himself before God and had faith in God.How to grow in spiritual humility:When you catch yourself judging someone, pray the tax collector's prayer: "God, be merciful to me, a sinner!"Preach the gospel to yourself every day.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

We are continuing to get to know Jesus better as we start the new year, and we are doing that over these next few weeks by asking, “What did He teach?” So we will look at a number of His parables. Parables are extended analogies that help us understand a truth. As one author says, they are “stories with intent.” Last week, we looked at the parable of the Prodigal Son. We saw in that parable that there are two kinds of lostness— outright rebellion and so-called righteous living that seeks to put God in our debt. We saw the need to return to God and to rejoice when others return to God. And perhaps most of all, we saw the heart of God. That parable shows us what God is actually like. He is a graciously extravagant Father, who rejoices when lost sinners come home. So that parable shows us in a way how God yearns for us to be right with Him. The parable we are looking at today shows us how that might happen; how we can be made right with God. We will be in Luke 18 looking at the story of the Pharisee and Tax Collector.

Luke 18: 9 - 14
In this dialogue, Pastor Scott and Western Iowa Synod Bishop Lorna Halaas go off the cuff, discussing the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector from Luke 18:9-14. They explore what we can learn about ourselves from both characters, but also how the gospel reminds us that its not about what we do or achieve, but what God says about us. This is the assigned gospel text for Sunday October 23rd, the 20th Sunday after Pentecost.
Prayer but not as we know it
In His continued teaching on prayer, Jesus does not focus on the fact that we need to pray. Rather, He teaches us that we should have the proper attitude when we do pray.
Two people went into the temple to pray. Both spoke to God and their words revealed the contents of their heart, mind, and soul. Prayer does that - it reveals what we think about God, ourselves, and others. It also shows where God still needs to work on us. Join us this week as we explore this parable of Jesus!Support the show

This morning we conclude our series on the parables by exploring a significant teaching moment for Jesus to the Pharisees. Through this "secret door" we will discover our need for confession and humility. The only question: Are we willing to listen?
The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector provides a unique glimpse into human nature and what happens when we turn people into "them" or "other."
This parable presents two men who went up to the temple to worship. But only one went home in right standing with God. It shows that you can be a well-respected, well-liked religious person, but it's much more important to be a justified person.
