In this episode, we see Jesus telling his disciples to look at the plank in their own eye!
The blame game. We all play it at times. God can help us get out of that rut. Listen and learn.
In this challenging and convicting message from the "Kingdom Now" series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl dives into Matthew 7:1-20, unpacking Jesus' teachings on judgment, discernment, prayer, and true discipleship.Pastor Karl begins by clarifying "Judge not, lest you be judged" — Jesus forbids condemning others, but calls for discernment and inspection of fruit. He uses the humorous image of the speck in your brother's eye versus the plank in your own, urging self-reflection first to avoid hypocrisy before helping others.He warns against casting pearls before swine or giving what is holy to dogs — don't waste the precious truths of God's kingdom on those who will only trample and reject them; be discerning and move on to receptive hearts.Jesus invites persistent, progressive prayer: Ask, seek, knock — ongoing commands with promises of receiving, finding, and entering God's presence. Pastor Karl emphasizes that continual prayer keeps us dependent on our good Father, who gives how much more generously than earthly parents, aligning our desires with His good will.The Golden Rule gets elevated: not just "don't do bad," but actively do to others what you want done to you — a revolutionary call to love.Jesus contrasts the narrow gate and road that leads to life (costly self-denial and obedience, yet light under His yoke) with the broad road of religious activity without heart change, which leads to destruction — few find the narrow way.Finally, beware false prophets disguised as sheep but inwardly wolves; recognize them (and ourselves) by their fruit. Good trees bear good fruit (love, joy, peace, etc.); bad trees produce bad — and a life of no fruit is equally revealing. Judge for identification, not condemnation.Pastor Karl closes with piercing questions: What sin do you quickly spot in others but slowly repent of yourself? What fruit would people taste from your life? He warns that self-deception is dangerous — the most perilous place is being close to Jesus without truly following Him.A grace-filled call to repentance, heart transformation, and walking the narrow road of fruitful, authentic discipleship.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
People in today's world get so caught up with judging each other, anger arguments, and removing people from their lives that they don't get along with. God calls us to a standard of perfection while also teaching us how to show mercy to ourselves and others when that mark is not met. Jesus was the only perfect dude that made a way for us to have Him living through us to be perfect, too.

Judging others - Luke 6: 37-42 - Chris Whittaker (7pm) by Christ Church Winchester
There is one practice of character development that can radically transform your spiritual development, yet it may be one of the more challenging to correct. Fortunately, we have an ancient tradition with tools and tricks to help us judge others favorably. "Dan L'kaf Zechut" (דָּן לְכַף זְכוּת) translates to "Judging others favorably." This ancient ethic instructs us to give others the benefit of the doubt: For more info, visit: https://www.thehiddenorchard.com/soul-refinement-judging-others-favorably/

Have you ever wondered what it really looks like to live under the reign of Jesus? Through the Sermon on the Mount, He gives us more than ancient wisdom. It's His Kingdom manifesto—a revolutionary vision for a new humanity. Not a list of impossible rules, but an invitation to a new way of being human. A way that leads to freedom, blessing, and fullness of life. Each week, we'll expose the broken systems that shape us—anger, greed, judgment, misplaced identity—and discover how Jesus flips them upside down, calling us into His narrow path that satisfies the soul. And you don't have to walk that path alone. Join a Life Group and explore the Sermon on the Mount in community—where questions, encouragement, and shared stories will help you live what Jesus is teaching.
In light of a series of miracles in our readings for today, Fr. Mike focuses on our Lord's compassion and our call to be merciful, as he is. He emphasizes the beauty of God's mercy and his offering of it despite our unworthiness. He also strikes a balance between the goodness of humanity as God's creation and our brokenness due to original sin. Today's readings are Luke 6-8 and Proverbs 26:1-3.

Hot topic episode!! We go over a couple hot topics recently and our thoughts on it. Take a listen!
Real talk, raw conversations, and zero judgment. This episode of the Ern and Iso Podcast is packed with unfiltered discussions on life's toughest realities. From survival in harsh circumstances to the myths of “street life” and systemic challenges, Ern and Iso keep it
The sermon clarifies that Jesus' command 'Judge not' is often misused to avoid accountability or spiritual discernment, when in fact it calls for humility and self-examination rather than hypocrisy. It emphasizes that the standard by which believers judge others is the same measure that will be applied to them, and that Jesus Christ alone is the ultimate standard, not personal preferences or traditions. The core message is a call to repentance: before addressing the faults of others, one must first confront the 'plank' in their own eye, recognizing that self-righteousness and pride distort spiritual vision. True discipleship involves humility, forgiveness, and a life shaped by Christ's example, not by human-made rules or performance-based spirituality. The sermon concludes with a challenge to return to genuine, Christ-centered discipleship, where love, grace, and personal holiness are rooted in a relationship with Jesus, not in moral superiority.

It is easy to write other people off when you think they are just virtue signaling, grandstanding, or trolling. But is it good that we tend to more and more judge people with those categories and break off discussion as a result? In"Moral Grandstanding and the Norms of Moral Discourse" A..K. Flowerree and Mark Satta argue that it is often bad or even morally wrong and unjust. I discuss this and other topics related to virtue signaling with Heather Battaly (Connecticut)

In Episode 62 of Triggered and True, hosts Laura and Brian explore how self-judgment is the hidden root of judging others, drawing from Matthew 7:1-2. They distinguish between everyday discernment and condemning judgment tied to shame, triggers, and identity, explaining how inner pain is displaced onto others, like through soapboxes or money critiques. Through biblical insights (e.g., Solomon's wisdom, kindness leading to repentance), they advocate healing self-judgment to enable loving, righteous responses. Listeners get homework: Reflect on harsh judgments and self-talk to uncover triggers. Dive deeper with the Compassion Method at compassionmethod.net—use code PODCAST50 for $50 off the master course.
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul warns that it's far easier to see and condemn the sins of others than to recognize our own, and that doing so reveals a dangerous hypocrisy that presumes on God's kindness instead of being led by it to repentance.
