Please join us this Sunday, March 1st for the second Sunday in Lent worship. Pastor Dave will present a sermon on The Same Measure. Coffee Hour is at 10:30 am with Service starting at 11:00 am.
In consideration for this Sunday's service, please consider Matthew 7:1-12
Judging Others
7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way
you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it
will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of
sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your
own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me
take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your
own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own
eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your
brother’s eye. 6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not
throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their
feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Seek, Knock 7 “Ask and it will
be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you. 8 For
everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one
who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a
stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish,
will give him a snake?
11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to
those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others
what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the
Prophets.
Worrying, judging others, and asking God for (and receiving) what you need are all topics Jesus taught about in this passages in Matthew 6:25-7:12. How do each of these topics relate to trusting in God? Which verses could be helpful for you to memorize so you can recall them during difficult times?
Selah.
