The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

Pastor Brian Jenkins
April 26, 2026

Why do some prayers seem to work while others feel empty? In this message from Luke 18:9–14, we unpack Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and discover that effective prayer isn’t about performance—it’s about perspective. If you’ve ever struggled with prayer, this teaching will help you rediscover what truly connects you to God.
