This week Paul will talk about judging others. So let me ask 3 questions:

Do you like to be judged?

Have you ever judged someone?

Is it ever appropriate to judge another person?

Jesus says, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” That’s from Matthew 7 in case you want to look that up because there is more to that teaching.

Our culture is constantly saying we shouldn’t judge.

But did you know that Jesus also said - “Be sure to do what the Pharisees teach, but don’t follow their example because they don’t do what they teach.”

That sounds kind of judgmental.

If you are wondering about this, this weekend I get to share what Paul writes as he lays out for us the principle in chapter 5 that Jesus demonstrated for us in His life for us about judging others.
