https://pushpay.com/g/mantenonazareneChurch App!!!!!!!!!
The Manteno Church app is available in your app store! Download it now! Google: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.pushpay.mantenonazarene Apple: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/manteno-naz/id6593659592
This will be a place, of course, to re-watch again and again those amazing sermons or take copious notes of profundity live during any Sunday service with links to the Scriptural texts of the day. Are you convinced you need the app, yet? Yes, those are features within the app, but we’re really excited that this will make it easier with things like volunteer scheduling, giving, and contribution tracking. Easy access to the church events calendar and weekly announcements together with the ability to sign-up for push notifications should be really pretty great too!

Sermon Notes
Inside the Outsider: Humility
Luke 18:9-14
March 23, 2025
JUSTICE: you get what you deserve.
Luke 18:9-10
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.”
Luke 18:11-13
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’”
Luke 18:14
14 “I tell you that thisman, rather than the other, went home justified before God.
JUSTICE: you get what you deserve.
All of us deserve punishment.
JUSTICE: you get what you deserve.
MERCY: I won’t give you what you deserve.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
“For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Luke 18:14
HUMILITY: I didn’t get what I deserve.
“Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.”
-Paul, 1 Timothy 1:15
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
