Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. Do not throw your pearls before swine. Ask, and it will be given you. Do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.

There’s a very real and practical aspect to Jesus words at the start of ch7. I guess we’ve all known people who are constantly critical of every little thing. But have you noticed how, so often, they’re the people that others watch to see when they’ll fail; who receive the harshest criticism when ...read more

We’ve all been quoted Jesus’ words "Do not Judge" but what does that actually mean?

He was a Godly man. Even his critics acknowledge that, they may have disagreed with his techniques and thought he was a little flashy but he was definitely a man of God.

A sermon that deals with murder of the heart.

“I’d Kill You If I Could” Introduction: Jesus didn’t come to abolish the Law - but came to fulfill it - not one jot or tittle would fade from the Law.
