Sermon Series – “Profound Truth in Jesus’ Parables” (Part 2)

“More than Me”

Luke 18:9-14

I. (9-10) “The Point of Principle”

II. (11-12) “The Point of Peril”

III. (13-14) “The Point of Power”

As most every believer knows that now more than ever the world needs the truth. Truth can be elusive to some and profound to others, this depends primarily upon the condition of the heart of the one who hears the truth. This in a sense is why Jesus often spoke in parables.

We are told that if we will work hard at everything, we will achieve all that we need. In a sense, this statement is true, hard work does have its rewards. However, when it comes to Salvation, we must understand that even our greatest effort will fall very short of the requirement. Today we are going to explore the truth that Salvation consists of more than you and me!
