Removing The Plank In Your Eye // June 11, 2023 // Lead Pastor Dr. Phil Willingham

In this sermon, we explore the teachings of Matthew 7:3-5, where Jesus admonishes us to remove the log from our own eye before trying to remove the speck from our brother's eye. The sermon delves into the context of this concept, emphasizing the difference between judging and condemning others. We discuss the various types of people when it comes to dealing with judgment, highlighting the importance of following the Word of God and avoiding critical judgmentalism. We explore reasons why we should avoid critical judgmentalism, such as not knowing all the facts, motives, and the distinction between biblical issues and personal preferences. Additionally, we examine the danger of seeking revenge and the reality that we will all face God in judgment. Finally, we provide practical ways to see the plank in our own eye, including remembering, reviewing, and relaxing. We emphasize the need to have complete information before making conclusions and the importance of not letting judgment impede compassion towards others, as demonstrated by God's forgiveness in Christ.
