Message: “The Parable of Two Men Praying in Temple – 1” from Gregg Bing

(Luke 18:9-14) Jesus told this parable to those who trusted in themselves that they were righteous. The parable centered on two men who went up to the temple to pray: one, a Pharisee, a religious ruler in Israel, and the other, a tax collector, a man hated by most in Israel. In this study, we look at the very different prayers these two men offered as well as Jesus' explanation of the results of their prayers.
