From The Pulpit of DUMC

#33. It's A Trap! - Rev. Shane Page

Episode Summary

This week we continue our sermon series on the parables of Jesus found only in the Gospel of Luke. This week we will visit the story Jesus told regarding two people who went to church one Sabbath morning, the first an upstanding and moral member of religious society, the second a downright scoundrel (Luke 18:9-14). The zinger? The scoundrel went home a better friend of God. Let’s be very careful of reading this parable without difficulty or controversy. For this parable has traps embedded all over the place. It’ll be our (hard) task this Sunday to avoid falling into one or all of them.
