Tomorrow - veteran's day  
Fighting against pride is a daily battle. Matthew 6:5  
Read it - loving audience of men when praying  
Pharisee, pride exalts himself  
Publican, humbles himself
 
Let's get into our passage, Luke 18:10-14
 
Theme: Pride versus humility
 
Notes  
Veteran's day is not relatable to most people, they've never been in a war. Relate it to the audience by showing them that they do fight (or should be fighting) a battle against pride.
 
Jump too quickly into verse--make sense of illustration (application, relevance) first.  
What does the verse which has to do with praying have to do with pride versus humility?  
God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
