1“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.6“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Sermon Questions:1. Would people around you (family, friends, co-workers) say that you're critical?2. When or toward whom are you most judgemental or critical?3. What sin (patter, habit, etc) do you tend to minimize or defend most?4. Are there sins or failures that seem too trivial to ask God for healing? Are there some that seem to big to admit are real?5. In which relationships do you need to be more gentle and sensitive?6. In what ways does your heart long to be treated? and how can that shape how you engage with others?
While our study in Matthew will continue, we'll finish the sermon on the mount this morning with four wise and loving warnings from Jesus.

What would you sacrifice for truth? This question echoes throughout the latest episode of American Soul Podcast as we explore the extraordinary lives of those who gave everything for their faith and freedom.The heart of this episode centers on Jerome of Prague, a 15th-century Christian reformer whose unwavering commitment cost him his life. After enduring 340 days in loathsome prisons, Jerome faced his accusers with remarkable eloquence, declaring: "The cause I now plead is not my own cause. It is the cause of men. It is the cause of Christians." His final moments reveal extraordinary courage as he approached his execution by burning at the stake, even instructing his executioners to light the fire before his eyes. His last recorded words—"This soul and flames, I offer Christ to thee"—stand as a testament to unwavering faith in the face of ultimate sacrifice.From religious martyrdom, we journey to military heroism with the story of Captain Edward C. Allworth, a WWI Medal of Honor recipient who swam across the Meuse River under enemy fire, inspiring his men to follow. His leadership enabled them to overcome machine gun nests and capture 100 prisoners despite being outnumbered. These stories converge on a critical truth: "It's impossible without God and Jesus Christ to preserve liberty."The episode weaves in powerful Scripture readings from Matthew 7 about judging others, the golden rule, and knowing people by their fruits. We're challenged to examine whether our actions, not just our words, reveal our true priorities. Do we treat others as we wish to be treated? Do we make time for what truly matters? The podcast concludes with insights from Mercy Otis Warren's 1805 history of the American Revolution, offering a female perspective on America's first civil conflict and reminding us that while philosophy teaches us about change and death, Christianity "strengthens the mind to meet them with the rational hope of revival and renovation."Are we willing to make sacrifices for our faith and freedom today? Join us in exploring these timeless questions and discovering inspiration from those who answered with their lives.

We're nearing the end of Jesus' SermonI think we must admit, there have been surprises along the way- but it has been a journey of wonder, skirting the edges of the kingdom of God• at the same time, the Lord has exposed us, to truth that is deep and difficult• so, what does Jesus want to say to us this morning?- though he's never one to sugarcoat the hard things, Jesus is being rather blunt, don't you think?• maybe what we hear is a tone of voice that offends◦ we ask, Where is God's compassion and mercy?• if Jesus must deliver this truth, couldn't he at least be polite?◦ but is there a polite way to shout, “The building's on fire”? or "Run for your lives"?◦ when Jesus is direct and rough, even then he loves us

Marriage on the Rock is our new five-week series grounded in the truth that a cord of three strands is not quickly broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12). This series explores God's design for marriage and the practical ways couples can build their relationship on the unshakable foundation of Christ. Whether you're married, preparing for marriage, or supporting others in theirs, this series invites us to see how the gospel shapes enduring love, sacrificial service, and joyful covenant."Built on the Rock" is a sermon based on Matthew 7:24-27 preached by lead pastor Billy Glosson.This sermon was preached at Mission Church — a church in Morganton, North Carolina in the heart of Burke County.Join us in person on Sundays, 10 AM221 Herron St.Morganton NC, 28655
We continue our study in Matthew and the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus instructs us in kingdom living - walking in wisdom, asking in confidence, and thinking of others.
Before we explore what Jesus is saying in these verses,There are three issues that need to be addressedFirst:- belonging to a church family can sometimes be devastating• I've met people whose first real family was their church◦ it became their lifeline, until one day it fractured◦ an angry and hostile faction split the church• those on sidelines were so disillusioned, and so hurt,◦ they never ventured into another church◦ their church became their second destructive and dysfunctional family- a similar sadness occurs when we discover a particular religious leader's true colors,• when the mask comes off and the real person is exposed◦ maybe they were with us during a difficult time,◦ maybe they quoted scripture and prayed with usbut now we see them for what they are

The narrow way or the broad way. The rotting fruit and roots of the false prophets. The house on the rock and the house on the sand. In Matthew 7-8, we hear the words and warnings of Jesus to his followers. They are serious and filled with love and grace, calling us to live in a different way that starts in the center of our very lives. The crowds who heard Jesus were astonished at his authority and his wisdom, and his words still hold that same authority and wisdom for us today.

Everyone desires to be treated with respect and love, and we also hope to treat others well. In Matthew 7, Jesus gives us a simple formula for doing right by others. It's a golden rule, often learned as a child, that requires God's grace to apply to our relationships.
You may hear something today you haven't heard beforeSo I'm going to try to make this as clear as possible- we need to consider the larger context that surrounds and informs verses 12-14• not only the context of this chapter, but in Jesus' entire Sermon- the first big idea is this:• the key to interpreting these verses is love• it may not look like it at first, so we jump to other verses to shed light on these◦ but those similarities turn out to be coincidence and not real connections◦ if we stay with the themes of the Sermon, we will see how these verses fit Three times in Matthew we find the phrase, “the Law and the Prophets”- two of those times occur here in the Sermon• in one other place he says “the Prophets and the Law” -- reversing the order◦ there Jesus is referring to John the Baptist's ministry, and he said,"For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John" (Mt. 11:13)

If you were to be put on trial for knowing and following Jesus, would there be enough evidence to convict you? Disobedience is evidence that we don't know Jesus. Obedience is evidence that we do know Jesus. Do you know Jesus?

Two houses. Same storm. One stood. One collapsed. In this message, we're not just talking about sand and rock—we're talking about your foundation. Pastor Warren walks through Jesus' mic-drop moment in Matthew 7, calling out the difference between hearing His words and actually doing them. ✔️ Looks can deceive ✔️ Storms always reveal ✔️ Only one foundation will stand Your job, money, relationships—even religion—can look solid on the surface. But when life shakes, only Jesus holds. So here's the question: What are you building your life on?
