What does it really mean to be righteous?
In this message, we continue our journey through the parables of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke and turn to Luke 18. Titled “The Right Kind of Wrong,” this sermon unpacks one of Jesus’ most revealing stories about prayer, pride, and what it means to be justified before God.
Throughout this series, we’ve wrestled with the lure of wealth, the limits of living for fleeting things, and the joy of being found. Now we confront something even deeper: righteousness. It’s a word we hear in church, but rarely define. Is it about moral performance? Religious comparison? Or something entirely different?
Jesus tells a parable that flips expectations and exposes the danger of self-trust. In God’s Kingdom, the one who knows they are spiritually bankrupt walks away justified.
If you’ve ever wondered where you truly stand with God, this message is for you.
Listen in, reflect deeply, and discover the freedom of receiving the right verdict from the only Judge who matters.
Scripture: Luke 18:9–14
