Do not judge! We’ve all said it or heard it. But what if this common phrase misses what Jesus and the rest of Scripture actually teach about judgment? In this message we walk through three clear chapters: Do NOT judge… You MUST judge… and Be ready to BE judged. You’ll see how Jesus guards against hypocritical condemnation while Paul shows the church’s responsibility to lovingly confront clear, unrepentant sin among those who claim to follow Christ. And you’ll hear the best news of all — those who trust Jesus have already crossed from death to life and will not be judged. This teaching helps you: • Move past the “never judge” slogan to Spirit-led discernment • Understand why real love sometimes creates relational distance for the sake of restoration • Rest in the freedom that comes from being washed and made alive by Jesus ⏰ New messages every week 🙏 Share this with someone who needs clarity and hope today Thank you for your generosity and for advancing the Kingdom of God!

What if worry isn’t helping you take control, but only creating the illusion that you have it? We all worry.

Is an old hurt quietly growing roots of bitterness in your life? 🌱 The question isn't whether conflict will come, but what you'll do when it does.
