About this episode

The episode discusses a parable from the Gospel of Luke that emphasizes the importance of humility and trusting in God's mercy.

Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, we reach another parable that is only found in Luke. Here Jesus calls us to humbly trust in His mercy to secure our standing before God. Audio | Notes | Luke 18:9-14
