Matthew 7:1-12

In the sermon on the mount, The Lord said, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” It’s become one of the most misused and misunderstood statements ever uttered by Jesus. You’ll hear that phrase often invoked to excuse all sorts of bad behavior. But is that an accurate usage of the Lord’s words? Is Jesus saying, we’re to refrain from exercising discernment? Pastor John Randall doesn’t think so. And he’ll show us why as he continues a study in the Sermon on the Mount. 

Maybe you’ve noticed sin sure looks worse on others than it does in ourselves.  We’re quick to point the finger and say, “Oh how could they.”  But we overlook our own faults.  As we open up Matthew seven Jesus makes it clear we’re not to judge hypocritically. And before you confront someone, make sure you take care of what’s going on in your own life.
