Listen ""How Comparison Steals Joy" (10-26-25)"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Jill LaRoche Wikel's sermon of October 26, 2025 from Saint John's Episcopal Church (Concord) in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. Gospel Reading: Luke 18:9-14Jesus told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, `God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.' But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, `God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted."
