Reflection

Sunday 26 October 2025

Call to worship
631 Tell out my soul.  Psalm 84: 1-7.  Prayer.  396 Just as I am.  Luke 18: 9-14
Prayer.  372 Jesus lover of my soul.  Sermon.  315 I will sing
Blessing

Today, we looked at the vivid parable of The Pharisee and the Tax Collector. We noted the need to rely on God and have humility before him and others. The Pharisee sought to impress God by his conduct whereas the Tax collector knew himself to be a sinner in need of God`s help and grace. May we seek to be the people he would have us be by relying on him for our help and salvation.

Every blessing,
Rev`d Theo Corney
