Don't Judge: The Speck, The Plank, and Mercy - Sermon 1st February 2026

This episode unpacks Matthew 7:1–5, explaining the difference between judgment and constructive criticism and why Jesus warns against snap judgments. The speaker explores how projection and ignorance of one’s own faults make criticism harmful, and gives practical advice on when and how to rebuke others with humility. Listeners are encouraged to receive correction wisely—neither accepting every rebuke as true nor reacting defensively—and to surround themselves with trusted people who will speak the truth in love. The message emphasizes mercy, self-awareness, and building others up toward Christian maturity.
