Matthew 7:1-6 | What's in Your Eye? | Alex Culpepper

"Judge not, that you be not judged." It's one of Jesus' most quoted—and most misunderstood—teachings.

In this message, we explore Jesus' question: "Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to notice the log in your own?" (Matthew 7:3). Rather than calling His followers to ignore sin or become indifferent, Jesus invites us into a life of humility, self-awareness, and transformation.

Discover how self-righteousness quietly takes root in our hearts, why criticism so often blinds us to our own need for grace, and how genuine spiritual growth begins with allowing God to examine us before we attempt to correct others.

Whether you've experienced judgment from the church, struggle with a critical spirit, or simply want to grow as a disciple of Jesus, this message offers a fresh perspective on what it means to love others with the humility of Christ.

In this message you'll discover:
• What Jesus really meant by "Judge not"
• The difference between discernment and a critical spirit
• Why self-examination is essential for spiritual maturity
• How to lovingly help others without becoming self-righteous
• Practical habits that cultivate humility and Christlike relationships

Matthew 7:1–6
