The Story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Rob Kazinski • Luke 18:9–14

St. Augustine once said, “Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist, there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.” The parable of the pharisee and the tax collector reveal not only a lesson about the virtue of humility but an authentic presence before God that is not merely to uphold an image. We’ll explore deeply on this parable and discover the keys to an authentic faith.
