Judge Yourself Part 2
Jeff Johnson
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 judgement and discernment? We’ve come to the seventh chapter of Matthew here today on Sound Doctrine- where Jesus takes on the subject of judging others and the right and wrong way of going about it.
Is it Right to Say You're Wrong?
Jack Graham
We live in a world where the virtues of tolerance are extolled daily. And while we, as Christians, realize that we don’t know everything, we know who does. All truth is from God who calls us in Scripture to “earnestly contend for the faith.” Join us for today’s PowerPoint as Pastor Jack Graham brings a message of encouragement for all believers.
Judge Yourself Part 1
Jeff Johnson
Today on Sound Doctrine we'll be going over what may be one of the most misunderstood sections of the Sermon on the Mount. How many times have we heard someone say, “Judge not!” It’s almost always quoted out of context, and is often used to condemn anyone who chooses to make judgements based on the teachings and standards of the Bible. Pastor Jeff Johnson will help us arrive at a better understanding of what Jesus is really communicating to us here in part one of, “Judge Yourself.”
