Listen "Take the Log Out | A City on a Hill: wk 15"
Episode Synopsis
We all do it—quietly sizing people up, forming opinions, pulling back. But in Matthew 7:1–6, Jesus calls us to something deeper than judgment. He calls us to honest self-reflection, messy grace, and a kind of unity that can only come when we get close enough to really see one another. In this message, Chase shares how easy it is to build walls when we judge from a distance—and how radically different it looks when we choose to build bridges instead. If you've ever thought: “They should’ve just…” “I would never…” “How could they…?” …this one’s for you. The measure we use for others reveals the grace we’ve received ourselves. 🧠 Discernment ≠ Condemnation 💧 Grace doesn’t start with them. It starts with me. 🪵 Before we fix someone else’s speck, we’ve got to deal with our own log. At Rise, we believe in coming close, not casting stones. So if you’re tired of pretending, come as you are. There’s room at the table. 🕊️ Communion is where the walls come down—and grace spills over. #TakeTheLogOut #GraceFirst #RiseChurch #Matthew7 #BuildBridges #ComeAsYouAre #JesusWay #NoPerfectPeople
