Hi church family!I’m looking forward to this weekend’s gatherings believing that the text I’m covering (Matthew 7:1-5) is one we need right now. We need it badly! I’m talking about the famous “Do not judge, so you won’t be judged...” section of the Sermon on the Mount. Restated, the word from Jesus is: “...Don’t obsess over the splinter in someone else’s eye while forgetting that you have a great big ol’ board sticking out of your own eye!”In the age of Christian nationalism and political polarization (not to mention demonization), we need some wisdom from Jesus to calm us down. But how do we exercise the sober judgement necessary for wise living without demonizing others? How do we recognize our own short-comings and prioritize them rather than obsessing over what others need to clean up? Biblical answers to those kinds of questions arriving soon at a church near you! Hope you can join us in person or online, Saturday night or Sunday morning.-Greg HochhalterLead PastorPizza with the PastorIf you are new or feel new - we'd love to have you join us for pizza!
