Sermon Outline:

1. More than a command against passing judgment, this is a caution against self-condemnation.

3. More than a protection from rebuke, this is a call for self-reflection.

Questions

1. What would you say to someone who says "You should be able to do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't hurt someone else."
2. How does Revelation 20:11–15 help us understand (eternal) judgment? Is judgment wrong? Who is the ultimate judge?
3. There are two (unhealthy) heart postures. One that is judgmental, and one that never judges. How does Matthew 7 correct both of these heart postures?
4. Read Galatians 6:1-2 & James 5:19-20. How should we judge others?
