God is not finished, even when life feels dark and final. Pastor Lee Jenkins walks through the events of Good Friday in Luke 23 to remind believers not to quit when circumstances seem overwhelming.

Key Points/Topics Covered:
Do Not Let Darkness Make You Doubt God

Spiritual pride can quietly seep into the life of a believer, causing comparison, judgment, and self-righteousness. Through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus reveals that God honors humility over religious performance. True justification comes not from boasting in good works but from depending fully on God’s grace.
Verses: Luke 18:9–14, Luke 19, Matthew 23:23, Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 5:1
Key Points/Topics Covered:
The Danger of Spiritual Pride and Self-Righteousness
Comparing Ourselves to Others Instead of to God

The Meaning of Justification as Declared Righteous
Choosing Humility Over a Holier Than Thou Attitude
