Love & Judgement

Jan 19, 2025    Heath Watts

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and confront the issue of judgment in our lives. The central scripture, Luke 6:37-38, reminds us that the measure we use to judge others will be used to judge us. This isn't about our finances, as it's often misinterpreted, but about our tendency to judge others harshly. We're encouraged to look in the mirror before pointing fingers, understanding that love is not judgmental. The message draws a stark contrast between unhealthy criticism and healthy celebration, urging us to find something to celebrate in others rather than always finding fault. As we reflect on this, we're called to be a church where people can belong before they become, embracing others in their mess and trusting God to bring about change. This perspective shift can transform how we interact with others and live out our faith in a judgmental world.
