About this sermon

Jesus warns us not to judge others, reminding us that the measure we use will be measured back to us. Before pointing out the speck in someone else’s eye, we must face the plank in our own. True discernment begins with humility, not condemnation. Message based on Matthew 7:1-6 Quotes: Stephen Covey: We judge ourselves by our intentions; we judge others by their actions. Bonhoeffer: Judging other makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are. Duane Brooks: Here's the problem with planks. Here's the problem with having a tree grow out your eye. You can't see anybody else's eye to help them. Until I deal with my own sin I'm not able to help others with their sin. Kevin DeYoung: Don't assume the repentance isn't genuine. Don't assume the forgiveness isn't sincere. Don't assume God can't change you. Don't assume God can't love you. Don't assume God can't love them. Spurgeon: Get a friend to tell you your faults, or better still, welcome an enemy who will watch you keenly and sting you savagely. What a blessing such an irritating critic will be to a wise man, what an intolerable nuisance to a fool! Thank you for joining us online! Our Senior Pastor is Duane Brooks.
