Redeemer West Side

Pharisees and the Tax Collector

August 25, 2024 • Redeemer Presbyterian Church West Side • Season 16 • Episode 8

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE | Luke 18:9-14

The gospel reverses our image of righteousness. Jesus' message is clear: true righteousness comes not from self-promotion but from a humble recognition of our need for God's grace. The Pharisee boasts of his own goodness, while the tax collector acknowledges his sinfulness and begs for forgiveness.
