Sermon: Matthew 7:1-12

August 13th, 2007 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 Comments

I have posted yesterday’s sermon on my sermon blog. It’s the seventh in my Sermon On The Mount series — based on Matthew 7:1-12 and entitled “Walk Like Jesus Taught: Walk Like You Want Others To Walk.”

Here’s a portion of it:

I heard about a woman in a Sunday School class who mentioned one Sunday that she and her husband had just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. A few minutes later she said something about her 12-year-old son. Another member of the class said, “Wait a minute. You’ve been married 10 years and you have a 12-year-old son?” The woman became annoyed and said, “That’s right. Do you have a problem with that?” The other member responded – in a very sanctimonious voice, “Well, it just seemed rather strange.” In fact, it wasn’t strange at all. She and her husband adopted their son when he was 6 years old.
Here’s what I’m saying: Before you pass judgment on anyone, remind yourself that you don’t have all the facts. There just might be a part of the story that you don’t know. And, most likely, it’s not your business to know.
