NO OFFENSE #2 | Love the One You Judge | November 13, 2022Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor\n\u201cWhen they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, 'Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.' Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.\u201d John 8:7b-9 (NIV)\n\u201cYou, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God\u2019s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God\u2019s judgment? Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God\u2019s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?\u201d Romans 2:1-4 (NIV)\nFundamental Attribution Error\nYou can\u2019t look up at God and down on people at the same time.\n\u201cI urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.\u201d 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NIV)\n\u201cDo not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother\u2019s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, \u2018Let me take the speck out of your eye,\u2019 when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother\u2019s eye.\u201d Matthew 7:1-5 (NIV)\nReflection Questions:1) Read Romans 2:1-4. Knowing this is directed at believers, what are your thoughts around Christians judging others?\n2) Read 1 Timothy 2:1-4. How is your life aligned with this passage and what are areas where you see yourself misaligned?\n3) Do you have names of people that you need to approach and seek forgiveness from for your attitudes and/or actions that have not been aligned with Jesus?\nNext Steps:\nComplete the Connect Card to receive more information, have us pray for you, or to ask us any question: http://journeyweb.net/connectcardWant to worship through giving and support the ministry of Journey Church: https://journeyweb.net/giveDownload our app: https://journeyweb.net/app Join our Facebook Group to stay connected throughout the week: https://facebook.com/groups/JourneyChurchBozemanGet your children connected to our children's ministry, Base Camp: https://journeyweb.net/childrenOur Student Ministry is for High School and Middle School students: https://journeyweb.net/studentsSubscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JourneyChurchBozemanNotes Page: https://journeyweb.net/sermons/notes/2022.11.13.pdf
