Who's the Sinner?
Keith Simon
Want to join our 4-week Zoom Bible Study, "Are we living in the end times?" https://info.thecrossingchurch.com/zoom-online-bible-studies (Sign-up today). We start Friday April 3 from 12:00-12:30 with a 15-minute Q&A afterward.
"That's good news to all of us because all of us have a little bit of Simon living inside of us. All of us have a little bit of Pharisee inside of us."
It's easy to judge the Pharisees for questioning Jesus. But then we become just like them: condemning other sinners. And, when we do that, we're belittling God's grace while forgetting our own sins.
Jesus came for the sinners, and that included the Pharisees—and that includes us too. Listen to the story that's had the biggest impact in https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith's) life as we continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).
