Judgmental Rebuke or Humbly Redemptive Confrontation?

BIG IDEA: Graceless church-goers are destructive because they withhold what they (LIKELY) have not freely received.

• A judgmental person is harsh, sinful and unwise. Vs. 1-2
• Judgmental people underestimate grace.
• Judgmental people unwisely bring the judgment of the Holy God upon themselves.
• A judgmental heart is hypocritical. Vs. 3-5
• Judgmental people focus on the sin of others & not their own.
• Repentance removes a judgmental spirit and allows faithful ministry to take place.
• Personal holiness requires wise & redemptive confrontation. V.6
• It is relationally dangerous to confront vengeful people alone.
• It's ministerially difficult to challenge, confront, & disciple people who are willfully in sin.
• Love God and love others.
• Treat others as you want to be treated.
• Realizing the gate is narrow, replaces a judgmental spirit with a grateful spirit.
