On Sunday, July 26, 2026 at Wildwood Community Church I preached a sermon based on Luke 6:37-42. This message was part 4 of our series, “Speak Plainly.” Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download, or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read Luke 6:37-42
- In Luke 6:37, Jesus calls for His disciples to “not judge” and to “not condemn.” Of this statement, R. Kent Hughes says, “These are some of the most misunderstood and misapplied verses in the Bible. Today they serve as the Magna Carta of much of American religion. Some people do not know a single Bible verse – they might not even know there is an Old and New Testament. But let them feel the slightest disapproval and the King James comes forth: ‘Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.’” Why do you think people gravitate so much to these verses?
- What is the difference between encouraging a brother or sister to walk more closely with Christ (and away from their sin) … something we are supposed to do, and judgment and condemnation that we are to avoid?
- Our lives and relationships with others are to be marked by forgiveness and giving not judgment and condemnation. We are to be more “grace players” than “spiritual referees.” Is your Christian life marked more by judgment and condemnation or forgiveness and giving?
- Are you grounded in enough humility to recognize your need for Jesus to lead you? Are you listening to His voice in Scripture or going your own way?
- Are you grounded in enough humility to reflect on your own sin instead of just pointing out the sins of others?
- What stands out to you most from this message? Any particular takeaway?
