Listen to this week's sermon, Parables In Practice preached by Pastor Jason Dunn from Luke 5:27-29

France explains from Psalm 24 that Prayer is important, Using examples from Matthew 6, Jeremiah 33  and John 9.He also shows how mountains can be places of encounter, revelation and testing quoting  Genesis 22 (Abraham), Exodus 20 (Moses), 1King 18 (Elijah) and Matt 17 (Jesus) but we cannot ascend the mountain of God on our own terms - see Isaiah 14.We must have clean hands, a pure heart, have not appealed to what is false and have not sworn  deceitfully. This can only be done by God and we should be humble and thank Him during our prayers  - In Luke 18 Jesus told the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.

Series - The Parables of Jesus: Stories That Shape the Kingdom Heart - Pastor Russ Atter

Join me and Scott as we take a look at the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. We take an in depth look at what motivates us and where our ultimate trust really lies. Is our trust in JESUS? Or is it in any number of other terribly unstable things that turn us into big giant JERKS?#biblestudy #faith #jesus #trustinjesus #selfrighteousness #badbunny #tpusafaith #kidrock

First Reading: Psalm 32: 1-7  Second Reading: Luke 19: 1-10    Sermon: Tax Collectors, Traitors, Sinners  Preaching: Pastor Jen  

In this Bible study, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the parable of the persistent widow from the Gospel of Luke, highlighting the importance of persistent prayer and faith in God's timing. He explains how God, unlike the unjust judge, responds to His children's prayers with compassion and wisdom. Fr. Matthias then discusses the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, contrasting self-righteousness with humility and repentance. He emphasizes that God accepts those who acknowledge their sins and seek His mercy, rather than those who boast of their own righteousness. The talk includes teachings on marriage and divorce, focusing on God's original design for a lifelong union and the spiritual significance of marriage as a path to salvation. Fr. Matthias addresses questions about humility, spiritual balance, and the challenges of living a faithful Christian life. This study provides a deeper understanding of prayer, repentance, and Christian living rooted in scripture and Orthodox tradition.

Judgy people distance themselves and look down on others. But the surprise in the Bible is what actually makes someone righteous. In this episode of Live Like It's True, Felicity Carswell and I talk about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector from Luke 18 and share some of our own stories of being confronted with self-reliance.The truth is, none of us are righteous. We all need mercy. And when we receive it—when we go home justified, we're also free of judging ourselves against other people.  Judgy SeriesFree Resource from Live Like it's TrueResources: Check out Felicity's podcast HEREFelicity CarswellFelicity lives in Chicagoland, Illinois with her husband and two children.

In this episode, Jason introduces Mission 2030, a new vision for The Oceanside Sanctuary shaped by a year-long process of appreciative inquiry. We begin a new teaching series on our five refined core values, starting with the first and most clear result: Authentic Belonging. Exploring the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, we look at how Jesus prioritized people over rules and how true belonging creates a feedback loop of safety, wholeness, and healing. Key Takeaways The 5 Core Values of Mission 2030: Authentic Belonging, Integrated Spirituality, Sacred Stories, Liberating Love, and Faith in Action. Eating as a Political Act: Jesus didn't just eat with Zacchaeus to be nice; he did it to dismantle the social hierarchy that excluded "sinners" and collaborators. People Over Rules: Just as the Sabbath was made for man (and not man for the Sabbath), our religious rules should serve human flourishing, not weaponize differences. The Feedback Loop of Faith: Like taking medicine for high blood pressure, we practice belonging because we believe it works—and the result is a community where we no longer have to be afraid of each other. Memorable Quotes "We create an affirming community where everyone can bring their whole selves and know they belong." "I am made whole by your difference... I don't have to be afraid of who you are. I can delight in your differences because they create safety for me." "Man was not made for the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for man."

The Book of Luke: Grace for Levi, Luke 5:27-32, Pastor Kyle Fellows

In this episode, we walk through Luke 18:9–14—the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector—and answer one of the most important questions in human history: How can a sinner be made right with God?This episode is brought to you by our ministry partner Accountable2You.

Use our unique code DIALIN to get 25% off your first year of an Accountable2You Personal or Family PlanThis passage completely reshaped the way I understood the gospel of grace, because it exposes the danger of self-righteousness, especially for people who grew up in church and know all the “right answers.” It's possible to look religious, speak the language, and still be resting your confidence in what you've done—or haven't done—rather than Christ alone.We cover:The context of Luke 17–18 and the question: “How do I enter the kingdom of God?”Why God's holiness makes the gospel necessaryWhat a Pharisee would have looked like in Jesus' day (religious elite, moral rigor, spiritual discipline)Why a tax collector was viewed as the worst kind of sinner in Jewish societyThe difference between pride masked as humility vs true repentanceThe tax collector's plea for mercy and how it points to propitiation (wrath satisfied by a substitute)Why Jesus says the tax collector went home justified—and the Pharisee didn'tThe core of salvation: merit vs mercy, self-justification vs free gift, works vs graceIf you've ever wondered whether you've subtly drifted into a “good person” version of Christianity, this conversation will challenge you to re-center your hope on Jesus' blood and righteousness—not your performance.Passage: Luke 18:9–14Topics: justification, repentance, grace, self-righteousness, holiness of God, gospel clarity, Pharisees, tax collectors, propitiation, Christian testimony

The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, in Luke 18:9-14, is one of Jesus' famous parables. It's an immensely helpful parable for rooting out self-righteousness. The problem is we can't receive its benefits, if we assume we're not the Pharisee. As you listen, pray for your own heart, that the Lord will reveal any self-righteousness, so that you can put your confidence, not in your own merit, but in the mercy of God. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on January 11, 2026.

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey preached a sermon on the first sentence of the New Testament, encouraging us to have hope as the New Year approaches.

Today, the words of our Lord confront and unsettle us. He declares that “tax collectors and prostitutes” go before us. Why is this so? Because they possess a quality that every saint instinctively understands. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

After Jesus miraculously heals a paralytic and forgives him of his sin, Jesus shocks the religious leaders of his day by inviting a despised tax collector to be his disciple. More than that, he's then seen sharing a meal with sinners and tax collectors! Join us in Matthew 9:9-13 as we rejoice that Jesus came for the sick and for sinners and prepare ourselves to do the same for those around us.

Around The Table - The Pharisee and the Tax Collector Luke 18:9-14 Pastor Bill Vecchio Jr.

The parable of the Tax Collector and the Pharisee may not be as simple and straightforward as it appears. One Jewish theologian has suggested that Jesus set a trap for his listeners in order to expose the ever present self-righteousness and hypocrisy of the human heart. But we just don't hear how shocking this story is unless we understand its social and historical context

Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner as they explore the powerful story of Zacchaeus and discuss the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 19:1-10, wrestling with a critical translation question in verse 8: Is Zacchaeus announcing a conversion, or revealing his existing practices? This interpretive choice completely changes how we understand the story. They explore themes of salvation, seeking the lost, and Jesus's consistent ministry of seeing those others overlook. The conversation also covers: * Isaiah 1:10-18 and prophetic sarcasm about religious hypocrisy * Habakkuk's lament about justice and faithful waiting * Psalm 32 as a penitential prayer often overlooked * 2 Thessalonians and prayers in times of affliction The hosts challenge assumptions about wealth, righteousness, and who belongs in God's kingdom, offering fresh perspectives for preachers preparing for this crucial moment in Luke's gospel as Jesus approaches Jerusalem. *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

Notes Luke 18:9-14 Joel 2:23-32 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 Takeaways The Pharisee's self-righteousness contrasts with the humility of the tax collector. Humility is essential in discussions of justice and righteousness. Justice and righteousness must be balanced with compassion and understanding. The parable challenges listeners to reflect on their own self-perception. The context of Jesus' parable is crucial for understanding its message. Joel's message of hope is relevant in times of despair. The Holy Spirit's outpouring is a transformative force for all. Paul's reflections in 2 Timothy highlight the importance of perseverance in faith. Legacy is built on the actions we take in our lives. The ongoing impact of our lives continues even after we are gone. Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Rob McCoy explore the themes of humility, justice, and the transformative power of faith through the lens of biblical texts. They discuss the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18, emphasizing the importance of humility in faith and the dangers of self-righteousness. The conversation then shifts to the prophetic message of Joel, highlighting the hope and renewal that comes from God's spirit. Finally, they reflect on Paul's farewell in 2 Timothy, considering the legacy of faith and the ongoing impact of our lives. Throughout the discussion, the hosts encourage listeners to engage with these themes in their own lives and communities.
