What Others' Mess Ups Teach Me About Myself

Damascus Road Community Church

Do you ever wish others could see the world as clearly as you do? If only other people could see where they mess up, surely the world would be a better place. Sound familiar? There is little we love more as a society than pointing out where others are wrong; and Christians are no exception. Call it accountability, helping a struggling friend, or even Christian love; the propensity to make judgments runs deep. Isn't it our responsibility to help others see where they are messing up?

As we explore the beginning of Matthew 7, we’ll encounter a passage that has a lot to say about judgments, who should be making them, and ultimately what they teach us about ourselves.
