What Jesus Actually Said About Judging Others [Things Jesus Never Said - Week III]

Pastor Clay NeSmith - May. 18, 2025

Pastor Clay NeSmith addresses a commonly misunderstood teaching of Jesus by examining a verse often taken out of context – Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge others and you will not be judged". Pastor Clay explains that Jesus wasn't forbidding all judgment, but rather teaching us to judge with the right heart, for the right reasons, and to the right people. Drawing connections to 1 Corinthians 5, he clarifies the biblical responsibility of church members to lovingly speak truth into each other's lives while maintaining humility. This message challenges believers to create a restorative community where authentic relationships can thrive and hearts can be healed.
