Humble hearts and minds

Luke 18.9-14

Jesus tells a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector that would have shocked his audience. He suggests that a tax collector who humbles himself is made right with God, rather than a righteous Pharisee.

Jesus teaches that we are to be humble before God and to recognise the equal worth of all his children. This week we explore how that affects our interactions with others, and how we choose to portray ourselves to God and to others.

This week we explore recognising our own shortcomings and vulnerabilities, and the worth of others.
