Judge Not | Sermon on the Mount | Dr. Trent Langhofer - Teaching Pastor

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Judge not”? In this powerful message from the Sermon on the Mount, Dr. T unpacks one of the most quoted and misunderstood teachings of Jesus from Matthew 7. Many people use “judge not” to mean never speak truth, never confront sin, and never discern right from wrong. But Jesus was teaching something deeper. He was warning against hypocritical, self-righteous condemnation while calling His followers to live with grace, wisdom, humility, and truth. In this sermon, Dr. T shares four biblical guardrails for judging Jesus’ way: • Examine yourself first before correcting others • Show the same mercy you hope to receive • Speak truth when hearts are ready to receive it • Lead with grace, courage, and discernment This message will challenge how you handle relationships, conflict, accountability, and truth in a culture that often rejects moral clarity. If you’ve ever wondered how Christians should respond to sin, hypocrisy, correction, or people far from God, this teaching is for you. 📍 Trace Church | Colorado Springs Join us Sundays at 8:15a | 10:00a | 11:45a | 5:00p (Mountain Time) Livestream 10:00a MST 4330 Mark Dabling Blvd, Colorado Springs Looking for a church in Colorado Springs?
