In our sermon this week, Pastor Mike Okine begins a three part sermon series on proper Christian worship.  Worship is not just something we do, but also something God does for us.  In our text today, the Pharisee goes to the temple confident in his own righteousness, stands in the middle of the temple and boasts about his piety for all to see.  The tax collector by contrast approaches God as a humbled sinner in need of repentance and worships in the correct way.
