The Way of Jesus—Matthew 7:1–6

This sermon explores Jesus’ command in Matthew 7 not to judge others, clarifying that He is not rejecting moral discernment but warning against condemnation, pride, and contempt. We are called to examine the “plank” in our own eyes first, recognizing our need for God’s grace so that any wisdom or correction we offer others comes from compassion, humility, and relationship. Ultimately, Jesus shows us what this looks like: He does not excuse sin, but neither does He condemn us; instead, He enters into our brokenness to restore and make us right with God.
