Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector invites us to see ourselves more clearly and humbly. Drawing from the ministry of Father Greg Boyle and his book, Tattoos on the Heart, this sermon challenges us to let go of spiritual pride and embrace a love that draws the circle wider. We are called not to judge but to be transformed—so that our compassion expands beyond ourselves. This sermon reminds us that there are no outsiders to Jesus's mission, ministry, or love. It's a call to see ourselves and others through God's expansive lens of grace rather than our limited perspective of judgment. Whether you're struggling with self-acceptance or finding it hard to extend grace to others, this message offers hope and a fresh understanding of what it means to be beloved by God.This message is for anyone seeking encouragement about God's unconditional love or wrestling with questions about judgment, grace, and acceptance in faith communities.Sermon by Rev.
