Faced with an audience of people who considered themselves to be good-living upright people and who, at the same time, despised others who they considered lower than themselves, the Lord Jesus related the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Recorded in Luke’s gospel Ch 18:9-14). Michael Penfold preaches the gospel from this passage in a message directed at people who are religious but unconverted (Message preached 2008) (Painting: “The Pharisee and the Publican” by James Tissot, 1836-1902)
