Righteous vs. Hypocritical Judgment Explained | You Sure About That? Pt. 2 | Pastor Jason Daughdrill

Is it wrong for Christians to judge? Culture says, “Don’t judge me,” but Jesus actually teaches something deeper and far more transformative. In this message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill breaks down the difference between hypocritical judgment and righteous judgment — showing that the goal of godly judgment isn’t to destroy but to restore.If you’ve ever wondered how believers should correct, confront, or lovingly hold each other accountable, this teaching will bring clarity, courage, and healing.In this sermon you’ll learn:What Jesus meant in Matthew 7:1–6Why “Judge not!” is one of the most misquoted verses in cultureThe difference between sinful judgment and righteous discernmentHow to remove your own “plank” before helping someone elseHow to call people up, not just call them outHow righteous judgment leads to restoration, not condemnationHow to discern who to invest in, who to set boundaries with, and when to stay silentWhy healthy judgment shapes a healthy church📖 Key Scripture ReferencesMatthew 7:1–6 – Judge not / remove the plank firstJohn 7:24 – Judge with righteous judgment1 Corinthians 5:12–13 – Judge sin inside the churchGalatians 6:1 – Restore with gentleness1 John 4:1 – Test the spiritsRomans 16:17–20 – Mark divisive people1 Corinthians 14:29 – Judge prophecyHebrews 5:14 – Discern good and evil1 Corinthians 11:31 – Judge yourself first1 Samuel 16:7 – God sees the heartProverbs 27:6 – Faithful are the wounds of a friendThe world says, “If you love me, you won’t judge me.” Jesus says, “If you love them, help them see.”Jesus forbids hypocritical judgment, not righteous judgment.You can’t disciple what you’re unwilling to confront.Judgment from a wounded place always wounds.Restoration—not humiliation—is the goal.Love is unlimited… but access is not (Matthew 7:6).“Protect your pearls out of stewardship, not pride.”Your healing determines your helping.
