Overcoming Judgmental Attitudes

Bethel Church (Princeton, MN)

The sermon will be a continuation of our message series from Jesus' teaching in the sermon on the mount. In the verses we're looking at this week, Jesus talks about NOT JUDGING. This topic is timely because we are always judging and condemning other people. Even during this time of national and international crisis I am hearing more than my share of criticism and judging of our leaders, our media, and one another. We judge people for "over-reacting" to the crisis, we judge people for not taking it seriously enough, or for endangering others. We judge people for expressing too much hope, or too much fear, or buying too much toilet paper. Let's listen to what Jesus has to say about judging others, and hopefully it will help us get through this difficult time with a little more grace.
