Summer on the Mount — Week 7: A Community Without Condemnation | Pastor Jose Ramos

Summer on the Mount — Week 7: A Community Without Condemnation | Matthew 7:1–12 Texts: Matthew 7:1–12Jesus does not build His church by tearing people down.In Week 7 of Summer on the Mount: A Better Way to Be Human, Jose Ramos teaches from Matthew 7:1–12, where Jesus confronts our tendency to see what is wrong with everyone else while missing what is happening in our own hearts.This message shows that Jesus is not calling His followers to moral blindness or a life without discernment. He is confronting a harsh and condemning spirit. Kingdom community begins not with a microscope aimed at someone else, but with a mirror held before ourselves.As Jesus moves from “judge not,” to the speck and the log, to asking, seeking, and knocking, and finally to the Golden Rule, He forms a community marked by humility, prayer, mercy, and grace. A community where truth and grace can both flourish. A community where people are corrected without being humiliated and where failure is not turned into a permanent identity.If you have been quick to criticize, slow to examine yourself, or tempted to reduce people to their worst moments, this message is an invitation to receive the Father’s mercy and learn to give that same mercy to others. Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 1:00 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextstepsFollow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch
