Pastor Rus Says:

Welcome to the sermon podcast for First Lutheran in Shelby, Ohio with Pastor Rus Yoak.
As parents we all develop these little tricks and techniques for entertaining/distracting toddlers.  These are essential skills if you want to survive the terrible twos, but awful skills when you try to apply them to adult life.  Listen in today as we see why it is a bad idea to try to distract God.

Luke 18:9-14
18:9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt:

18:10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

18:11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

18:12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.'

18:13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'

18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted."
