This week, Pastor Adam unpacks what Jesus really means when He says, “Do not judge,” and what that looks like in the way we live and love others.
What does Jesus actually mean when He says, “Do not judge”? In Matthew 7:1–12, Jesus gives us a deeper understanding of judgment, correction, grace, truth, and discernment—and challenges us to look at our own hearts before pointing out what’s wrong in someone else.
In this message from the Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Adam explains what “do not judge” really means and how followers of Jesus can hold grace and truth together. We’ll look at why correction is sometimes necessary, why we need to remove the “plank” from our own eye first, how to recognize when it’s time to step back from an unproductive conversation, and how the Holy Spirit gives us wisdom for everyday relationships.
Most importantly, Jesus calls us to let people experience God’s love through us. Our greatest kingdom impact doesn’t happen only when we gather on Sunday—it happens when we leave and carry the love, grace, and truth of Jesus into our homes, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and everyday conversations.
Matthew 7:1–12
