When Jesus told the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector, He revealed something far deeper than outward righteousness — He exposed the posture of the heart. In this sermon, Bishop Gregory Brewer reminds us that God is not impressed by our record of service, but by our humility and our willingness to receive His mercy.

We are owed nothing, yet given everything by God. Out of that mercy, we are invited to become channels of His blessing — moving from duty to worship. Giving is not about earning God’s favor, but about participating in His generosity and transforming our hearts in the process.
