This week’s message is a challenging continuation of Paul’s letter to the Romans. After confronting the visible and culturally obvious sins in Romans 1, Paul now turns his attention to something more subtle—but just as dangerous: self-righteousness.In Romans 2, we see a bold and honest call to evaluate the condition of our own hearts. Paul warns that judging others while committing the same sins ourselves not only reveals hypocrisy, but also a misunderstanding of God’s character and grace.Pastor Jamie shares how easy it is—especially for church people—to become critical of others while quietly justifying our own actions. We may condemn someone for their public sin while hiding our private struggles. But God is not fooled. He sees the heart, and He does not show favoritism.Key questions this sermon invites us to wrestle with: • Are we using grace as an excuse to avoid real change? • Are we more interested in appearing righteous than actually being transformed? • Do we truly believe that Jesus came not just to save us from hell, but to lead us into a completely new way of living?Paul reminds us that it’s not judgment, shame, or religion that leads to repentance - but the goodness of God. When we misuse grace or assume it gives us a pass to continue in sin, we miss the point entirely. Grace is not a “get out of jail free” card. It is the doorway to a new life.This message is a powerful reminder that: • Real repentance begins with honest self-reflection. • Our lives - how we live, speak, and treat others - reveal what we truly value. • God’s call is not just to believe in Him, but to belong to Him and be changed by Him.Key Scriptures:Romans 1:32Romans 2:1-5, 11Luke 6:37 - 38Mark 7:15If you’ve ever wrestled with judgment, hypocrisy, or the tension between grace and truth, this message will speak to you. God is not calling us to religious performance - He’s calling us to surrender and transformation.To learn more about Compassion Church Dickson or to support the ministry, visit: https://www.compassiondickson.church/Subscribe to our channel for weekly messages that inspire, challenge, and lead you deeper into the Word.
