In today’s episode we’ll be talking about the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9–14. Public prayers can often be the most dangerous words to speak. Prayer has often been used in public places, even churches, to promote personal agendas. Let’s explore this parable and discover what Jesus thinks about public prayer.

1 John concludes with John’s reminder to God’s people of who they are in Christ, that salvation is given to anyone who believes, and as children of God, we should live in such a way to draw others to God’s Kingdom family.

Do people notice a change in us once we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ? When we are saved, we are given the Spirit of Christ to strengthen and equip us to live with his character, and as John teaches, keeping God’s commandment to love others is a powerful indicator of Christ’s transforming work within us.

The biggest challenge to the first-century church is still our great challenge today—maintaining the pure truth of God’s biblical message, in spite of the outside influences of the culture. John called the Christians to live a pure life and to speak a pure message so they could be effective witnesses to the people around them. He calls us to that same life today.

Recognizing we are sinners saved by grace is an essential truth that has always been difficult for people to accept. In this chapter, John wrote to encourage the early Christians—and Christians today— to live knowing they are genuine sinners who have found genuine faith. We all need a Savior because of our sin, and our best witness to the world is to be as honest about our sinfulness as we are about our salvation.

This week we begin studying the book of 1 John, a book of encouragement to the early Christians to “stand firm” in their faith, and to not be swayed by the false teaching that was distorting the original apostolic theology. We see in our culture today Christians being influenced to accept a changed message that is more culturally considerate. The apostle John’s teaching is both encouragement and warning so that Christians will be careful to remain convinced of biblical truth.

Understanding why God’s word is our ultimate standard for faith is essential for every believer. Today’s episode wraps up the book of 2 Timothy and teaches that the peace of Christ is the result of knowing that our life in this world is our journey, not our destination.
