This week’s message examines the heart of true humility in Luke 18:9-14. Through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus reveals the stark difference between self-righteousness and genuine repentance before God.

In this passage, Christ shows us that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, while those who humble themselves will be exalted. The tax collector’s simple prayer—”God, be merciful to me, a sinner”—demonstrates the posture of heart that God desires and honors.
