The Great Do Nots

In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Jesus’ challenging words: “Judge not.” What does He really mean — and what does He not mean?

This sermon unpacks the difference between discernment and condemnation, truth and hypocrisy, correction and compassion. In a culture that rushes to criticize, cancel, and catalog every failure, Jesus calls His followers to something radically different: gentleness, humility, and mercy.

We are reminded that:

• The measure we use will be measured back to us.
• Hypocrisy undermines authentic faith.
• Restoration must begin with self-examination.
• Forgiven people should be the quickest to forgive.

What if the church became known not for exposing failures — but for healing them?

Listen in and be challenged to remove the log, extend grace, and live the mercy we’ve received.
