🎙️ Resurrection : Victory of Joy 📖 Luke 18:9–14 | ✝️ A Sermon by Rev. Chuck Rains | April 12, 1998

Join us for a meaningful Easter Sunday message delivered by Rev. Chuck Rains, titled “The Man Who Thought He Was Righteous.” In this sermon, originally preached on April 12, 1998, we revisit Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector—a timeless story that speaks directly to the heart of the Gospel.

As the tomb stands empty and we rejoice in the resurrection of Christ, Rev. Rains brings us back to the foundation of our faith: humility, repentance, and the incredible mercy of God. Through the contrast of a proud Pharisee and a broken tax collector, we are challenged to examine our own hearts. Are we standing before God based on our own perceived righteousness—or are we crying out, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner”?

This sermon not only captures the spirit of Easter—the triumph of grace over sin—but also offers a sobering and transformative reminder: only those who come to God in humility will be lifted up. The cross levels the ground for all, and the resurrection offers new life to those who believe.

Whether you’re a long-time believer or simply curious about the Christian faith, this Easter message offers encouragement, conviction, and the hope of redemption found only in Jesus Christ.

💬 “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” – Luke 18:14

🕊️ Tune in, reflect deeply, and let this Easter Sunday message renew your understanding of God’s amazing grace.
