Let Me Tell You A Story of Pride & Humil...

Live in the Light
About this episode

With today's message, we reach the end of our series Let Me Tell You a Story, which has concentrated on the life-changing, metaphorical parables shared by Jesus but unique to the Gospel of Luke. In what is perhaps our most important lesson in our series, today's parable deals with the ages-old issue of pride versus humility—a common conflict throughout Scripture—and begs what may be the most essential heart-check question: are you broken and devastated by your sin? Or is pride and love of self destroying you? The Lord demands humility. Is that you today?
