What if the way we judge others is actually shaping what comes back to us?
In this message, A Mirror, Not a Microscope, we unpack Jesus’ challenging words about judgment and discover the difference between inspecting others and examining ourselves. Through the life of King David, the story of Joseph, and the teachings of Jesus, we see how judgment can fracture relationships, blind us to our own vulnerabilities, and quietly pull us into the very pits we dig for others.
This sermon invites us to trade the microscope—used to magnify flaws in others—for a mirror that reveals our own hearts. It’s a call to humility, repentance, and mercy, reminding us that God is not after perfection but a broken and surrendered heart.
If you’ve ever felt judged, caught yourself judging, or wondered how grace fits into real life, this message is for you. Mercy looks better on you. And it looks a lot like Jesus.
