Walking in the Gospels - Week 26, Day 2 Do We Think We Are Better Than Others? Luke 13:1-21 & Psalm 123 Pastor Jason Van Bemmel - [email protected] Forest Hill Presbyterian Church - www.foresthillpca.org Teaching on all Psalms - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTzHvgv0sYVDm4dJxoX6IpCuLlsgksxUg&si=3_k0WfrC8SI450qx The sermon explores the dangers of self-righteousness and the pervasive human tendency to compare oneself to others, challenging the assumption that suffering indicates greater sin. Drawing from Luke 13, the message emphasizes the urgent need for repentance, illustrated through parables of the unfruitful fig tree and the kingdom of God likened to a mustard seed and leaven, and highlighted by the healing of a woman on the Sabbath, which exposes the hypocrisy of prioritizing legalistic rules over compassion. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to confront their own pride and legalism, embracing God's grace and demonstrating genuine fruit of repentance in their lives, echoing the plea for mercy found in Psalm 123.
