Pastor Scott Rodgers · Jul 28, 2019
Drawing from the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, Pastor Scott Rogers warns that spiritual growth can quietly drift into spiritual comparison — a subtle keeping of score that shifts our gaze from God's grace to our own performance. Using Paul's testimony in Galatians, Rogers argues that no amount of religious discipline earns standing before God; only grace does. The call is to pursue growth relentlessly while never graduating from grace, and to keep our eyes fixed on Christ and the cross rather than on how we measure up against one another.
