Sermon Guide
Blind Spots: Pastor Miles McPherson - Rock Church, San Diego, CA
Big Idea: Your blindspot is the gap between the intent of what you say or do and the impact of what you say or do
Matthew 7:1-5
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
Jeremiah 17:9
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Mark 8:22-26
Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town.”
3 Things To Help Us Address Our Blind Spots
1) Admit there is a plank. (Jeremiah 17:9)
2) Understand the nature of the plank. (Proverbs 27:17)
3) The removal, not protection of the plank, nurtures unity. (Mark 8:22-26)
