The Sermon on the Mount | Planks, Pigs, & Pearls: The Art of Judging

Judge not, lest you be judged. Maybe you’ve seen this passage in Matthew 7, but do you really understand what Jesus is telling us here in the sermon on the mount? We as Christians are called to judge rightly, but there are some clear reminders in scripture that there is order and reasoning behind why. A majority of non-Christians see us as “judgmental” because we have not focused on restoration, we’ve just focused on being right. By no means is the bible directing believers not to call sin for what it is, sin, but it is also directing us to do it with the right attitude and motive.

Pastor Matt digs further into the sermon on the mount this week as we look at Jesus’ teachings regarding dealing with our own sin before we are to help others deal with theirs. If we are in the mindset of being judgmental, then we are not fulfilling God’s will for us, and we should stop and think about how we are interacting with people, especially those who don’t have faith.
