What this episode covers

Sunday, May 24, 2026 “Do not Judge; Act with Love” Pastor Joey Anjiki 1. Reasons why we are not to judge * (1) Because you will be judged (Matthew 7:1) (2) Because you will be measured with the same measure you apply to others (Matthew 7:2) “When you teach something to another person, first apply that teaching to you yourself” The Pharisees made a way out: the Corban Law (Mark 7:11) (3) Because your eyes will be closed to the truth (Mark 7:6) * The problem of judging others easily * A rock called Labradorite 2. How to be freed from judgement * Matthew 7:3 (See above) * Self-centeredness is the nature of sin: We are made aware of the nature of sin through God’s Word * The testimony of Yoshio Inoue, a musical actor 3. Discover the virtues of others * Matthew 7:5A (See above) * The salvation of the cross * A person who notices a plank in their own eyes becomes able to interact with others around them with love * Matthew 7:5B (See above) Thoughts to share at mini church: 1. Why should we not judge another person just by looking at only one aspect of them? 2. What should you do to notice a plank(s) in your eyes? 3. After you recognized your own sin and accepted the salvation of the cross, has the way you look at other people changed? MCC20260525.mp3
