Matthew 7

Giving Grace Freely

November 04, 2024 by Dr. Jeff Warren

In this message, we’re reminded of a profound truth: ‘Only God is great.’ As we explore Matthew 7, we’re challenged to examine our tendency to judge others. The central command ‘Judge not, that you be not judged’ invites us to pause and reflect on our own hearts before criticizing others. This teaching encourages us to be bridge builders, peacemakers, and grace givers in a world that often thrives on division. We’re called to a higher righteousness, one that doesn’t just proclaim beliefs but demonstrates them through love. The vivid imagery of a log in our own eye versus a speck in another’s eye serves as a powerful reminder to address our own shortcomings first. This message urges us to live as kingdom people, focusing on the great commandment and great commission, and to trust God as the ultimate judge. It’s a call to radical love and humility that can transform our relationships and our world.
