The Pharisee Who Exalted Himself

Luke 18:9-12 Well, I invite you to turn in your Bibles to Luke 18, as we look to some very, very important instruction from our Lord. It’s hard to overstate the importance of the section that we’re getting into here in Luke 18, words do fail me to emphasize it. I’m stuck with my own meager gifts and my own understanding of the English language to try to explain this to you, but I really do want you to get.…
