Sinners in the Hand of a Merciful Savior - Mattie Montgomery

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of recognizing our need for mercy rather than comparing ourselves to others.

Jesus’ story of the Pharisee and the tax collector flips our instincts—God isn’t impressed by our track record, but by a heart that knows it needs mercy. Real faith starts when we stop comparing ourselves to others and come to Him empty-handed. Support the show
