Pastor Daniel Whipple – ”Nonjudgmental Humility” – Verdugo Community Church October 23, 2022

Pastor Daniel Whipple, from Rose City Church, in his sermon, “Nonjudgmental Humbleness,” considers Jesus’s parable found in Luke 18:9 – 14 of the self-righteous Pharisee praising God for his righteous lifestyle, and the reviled tax collector begging God for mercy to forgive his sins. Then, as now, there was divisions in society that left each group feeling it was righteous compared to others. This leads to our not seeing other people as whole persons, and we are proud not to be like them. Jesus calls us to not judge those we disagree with, but to humbly see and love them as Jesus sees and loves them. He died for each of us and extends his grace and mercy to all.
