"Thank You, God, that I am not like them." We think we're being humble, but are we? Or are we judging? "I'm not judging," is such a common statement that, the moment we hear it, we know the person is judging. But do we hear ourselves? In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable of a Pharisee and a tax-collector. One was so busy being humble - he couldn't hear his pride. The other was so broken he had no pride at all. The raw truth about us is that we often take great pride in our humbleness.
We often want to think of the Bible and the people in it as a perfect book about perfect people. But the truth is that the Bible is a perfect book about imperfect people who have a perfect God. In this series, we are going to pull back the illusions about how Christian life is really supposed to be, and talk honestly about how Christian life really is. And in doing so, we hope to encounter God's love and power in a new and genuine way
