Pastor Chris’s message focuses on Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 7, where Jesus talks about the difference between righteous judgment and hypocritical judgment.We’ve all heard the phrase “do not judge” thrown around, but it’s often taken out of context. So, we take a step back to really understand what Jesus means. Pastor Chris reminds us that judging isn’t always wrong—“to judge is to analyze or evaluate.” The key is how we do it. It’s okay to form opinions, as long as we use them to help and build others up rather than tear them down. “There is a right way to judge and a hypocritical way to judge,” he says, challenging us to approach judgment with humility and self-awareness.We walk through three important steps to judging righteously. First, we watch our measure—making sure we’re holding others to the same standards we hold ourselves. Second, we clear our own vision—dealing with our own issues before pointing out someone else’s. Third, we discern our audience—realizing that not everyone will be open to receiving the truth.Jesus puts it plainly: “Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own?” His words remind us to look at our own hearts first before calling out someone else’s mistakes.As we reflect on this, we commit to sharing truth wisely. Not everyone will accept it, so we approach others with humility and grace. Our goal isn’t to condemn but to help each other grow closer to Christ with love, truth, and wisdom.
