Lord Have Mercy; Christ Have Mercy; Christ Have Mercy

Here is the sermon from October 7, 2012. The texts are Psalm 89:48 and Luke 18:10-13.

Psalm 89:48
What man can live and never see death?
    Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? 

Luke 18:10-13
¹⁰ “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ ¹³ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
