Summary

If you were to ask someone right now, “Are you a good person?” what response would you expect to hear? For the vast majority of people in America, we would determine how “good” we are by comparing ourselves to others rather than to Jesus, Himself. In this classic teaching, Francis Chan confronts the sin of pride by taking a look at the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector found in Luke 18. He reminds us that, in order to guard against over confidence and self-righteousness, we need to remember who is ultimately our final Judge.

Or do you go, well, you know, I'm going to listen to this and see if I want to obey

0:56.9

it or not, this or that, or do you really just go, gosh, I'm about to hear some words

1:02.2

from God.
