Luke 18:9-17

Pastor Jon Bryars preaches through Luke 18:9-17, contrasting the self-righteousness of a Pharisee with the humble repentance of a tax collector. He cautions that while spiritual disciplines are valuable, relying on religious performance and personal morality can breed spiritual pride and contempt for others. Instead, he emphasizes that the gospel calls individuals to recognize their sinfulness before a holy God and approach Jesus with childlike humility and dependence.
