JESUS

the Storyteller

let's listen to this next story carefully:

WORSHIP

Here are the Scripture readings for this week:

Luke 18:9-14; Matthew 7:14-23; Matthew 7:1-5; Isaiah 6:1-7; Luke 5:1-11

and the subtitle chapter/segments are:

"A Tale of Two Men" "This Story May Be for You" (Luke 18) "Don't Bother Comparing" "See Yourself Correctly" "See Yourself Clearly"

You may want to check out "Finding God Among Us" for the lessons in this Parable

"Lord, I confess that I am a sinner in need of grace.{actually saved by grace} Forgive me for thinking I'm a bit better than the next guy, and help me to see clearly."

This is my favorite line from this week's devotional (right before the ending so I couldn't miss it):
[Pharisee to the Tax Collector] "Let's make a deal: you don't think you're not good enough for God, and I won't think I'm too good for God. Let's pray for each other." (p.135) James Merritt
I pray I find myself in neither of these positionsyet hope that JESUS is the true & only object of my worshipbut if not, I pray He reveal and make it so!
I worship God because of who He is, He alone is worthy of praise & honor.He alone is worthy of our worship!
