What is Willow Ridge Sermons?

Sermon audio from Sunday services at Willow Ridge Church.

Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons Podcast, where you can listen to audio from our most

recent sermons and more. Thanks for listening, and be sure to add this show to your library

if you'd like to automatically receive new episodes each week.

Good morning. If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us

in Matthew chapter 7. If you do not own a Bible, we want to encourage you right now or at the end

of the service, we have some free Bibles that we would love to give you, and they will be right

back here at this table right back here to my left. So you can stop by at the end of the service,

love to gift you one of those so that you can have a copy of God's Word. I do want to echo what Pastor

Dave said and welcome our first-time guest. We count it as an honor and a privilege that you

were here to worship with us this morning. We would love for you to scan the code, fill all those

things out, but also my wife and I will be back at that table at the end of our worship service time

together. We would love just to meet you, to thank you for being here, and to thank you for

worshiping with us. We gathered again this morning at 9 a.m. during our discipleship hour to talk about

last week's message. Had a wonderful discussion happening in different small groups around the

room, and so just as a reminder, we are doing that every single Sunday, and we would love for you to

join us and to be a part of that throughout the summer months. So please wake up a little early,

come here at nine, and we'll have a good time of fellowship. We usually do a good bit of laughing

talking together as well, sharing, and just a wonderful, wonderful time. And then lastly, we do

have our young adult. So the flood is getting ready, right? So that's loud. So we're glad that we're in

here, and we're glad that we're dry. But even more reason to remind you, our young adult ministry's been

up in New York this past week, a wonderful time of ministry, wonderful time of fellowship, of trying,

of blessing the church and the community that's up there. So they will be traveling back this afternoon,

and so I would just encourage you to pray for them as they are traveling. With that said, I want to read

our Bible verse that we're going to look at this morning as we are in our sermon series, Misunderstood,

and is found in Matthew 7 verse 1. Judge not that you be not judged. Let's pray. God, we thank you

for who you are, Lord, and for what you're doing in the life of our church. God, I thank you for our

young adult ministry, and I thank you for their willingness to go and to serve. God, I thank you

for their flexibility as their plans were changed, but they responded, Lord, in obedience to you.

God, I thank you for the seed that was sown, and God, we know that you're going to work and move in

the lives of those who went and those in the lives of those who received. God, as we open up your word

this morning, may your word not say to us what we just want it to say, but may, Lord, we desire to know

what you are saying to us. And God, if there's anyone here who does not know Jesus Christ as their Lord

and Savior, may today be the day of their salvation. And it's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time at my grandparents' house, my dad's mom and dad,

and I love my grandparents. My grandfather passed away in 2004, and my grandmother passed away in 2020.

But growing up there, there's just a couple of things that you understood or that you knew about

my granddad. Only grandson, he treated me. I love how he invested in me. He was good and hard at the same

time, right? He taught me a lot of things. But I knew two things. Number one, don't touch his tools

unless you ask first, right? He really took pride in his tools that he had. He liked to tinker on cars.

Everything was right where he wanted it and to do that. So don't touch his tools unless you ask first.

But then the second thing is, don't touch the TV unless you're told to. You know, we, at my

grandparents' house, I was the remote control, right? Anybody else going to have that growing up?

They had that old box on the top of their TV that had, like, you slid it, and it went from, I think,

channel 2 to channel 27. Like, that's, that's, so if it was channel 28, then you just weren't watching

that, right? Like, so you would kind of scan through. And my granddad had, had a cycle of TV shows that he

liked to watch, one of which, and still to this day, and I've talked to my dad about it, I've talked to

my aunts about it, I had talked to my grandmother before she passed about it, that we never could

understand. But I believe my grandfather was the only human who consistently watched C-SPAN,

right? So, so that was it. That was part of what he would do. But around dinner time, they had, they had

another TV in, in their kitchen, small little kitchen. They had a little, like, a little buffet

piece that would sit there, and there was a little black and white TV. And starting in 1981, before I could

remember, around dinner time, he would sit down with my grandmother over every single day, made from scratch

dinner. And they would watch the people's court with Judge Joe Wapner, right? Like, some of you

missed that completely, and some of you, like, you hear the song playing in your mind, right? Like, you

know it. And that show's still going on today. But that show started in 1981, is when the show started.

The people's court. Maybe, like, the first dosage of what we got into in this reality TV world,

of seeing real-life people bring their, kind of, maybe, real-life problems on a TV. I still don't

really know how it all worked out, and then it played out. But now, like, if you turn on the TV

during, during night, and that four o'clock to six o'clock hour, depending where you're at, right,

there's been so many spinoffs of this, which causes us as a culture, right, to, kind of, take that step

back and ask the question, why are we so fascinated with this? Why are we so fascinated with watching

people work through their problems in front of a judge, where at the end of the day,

one is happy, one is not, or they're both not happy? But we've got this fascination of what's there,

of what it means to judge, and what it means to be judged. The verse that we're going to look at this

morning, read it again, judge not that you be not judged. This is probably, this verse is probably one

of the most misused verses that I hear, but what I think is intriguing about this verse and its

misusage is that it's misused by people who are Christians, definitely, like you and I, we've misused

this verse, but it's also consistently misused by people who aren't Christians and don't claim to be

Christians. They'll say, well, you shouldn't judge. You know what the Bible says? The Bible says you

shouldn't. But when this verse is misused, what I found in the life of a believer, specifically,

right, of what we begin to see is that this verse can become a shield for sin. That this verse can

become a shield for sin. I think part of who we're wired to be is most people prefer to receive praise

over criticism. Like, I know that there are people in this world who enjoy being evaluated, receiving

criticism, especially the criticism that is going to be used as a way to encourage, constructive

criticism is the word I'm looking for, right, that's going to build them up. But at our core, like if I

sat down with you and said, would you rather hear five things that are wrong with you or five things

that are right, like we would probably as a society embrace the things that are right with us. I was

talking about this in a different context with our small group, I think this past week, maybe two weeks

ago. But I remember, so growing up, Grayson got into karate. And he loved to go to karate. We went to karate

like three, four days a week. I think for about seven years, this boy was in this committed to karate. We went to

karate tournaments. He got all, he was the only kid that I know that weighed like 23 pounds but had a

black belt, right? And Grayson got asked if he wanted to be in like the leadership track at the

karate studio. And we're like, sure, that's cool. Like he wanted to do that, so he was a part of it. So

he came up there, and one of the first times the karate instructor was going to teach the group of

kids who were there, part of the leadership of what it looked like to lead a class. And so he had one of

the, one of them step foot and do one of their, one of their forms that they were going to do.

And the karate instructor said, now if you were leading the class, the little boy's name was Matthew,

if you were going to lead the class, like what would you say to Matthew? And all the students,

they raised their hand, and one after another, they pointed out in the form what Matthew did wrong.

I felt kind of bad for Matthew. Felt bad that Matthew was being used for this teaching illustration.

And then the instructor said, well, Matthew, how does that make you feel? And I said, well, not too good.

I know the things that I need to work on, but I think I did some things right as well. But in Matthew's

mind, all he heard was the criticism. I think this teaches what we're looking for. The karate instructor

looked at him and said, well, boys, here's what I want us to do. As we're working through this in our

class together, as your instructor, and you'll notice what I do as I'm teaching, as I'm giving

constructive criticism, is I will always praise you for something you did well. I'll follow that with

a criticism of something that you need to improve on, and then I'll end it with praising you again.

And I think that speaks a lot to the condition of who we are, that we would much rather receive

praise than criticism. And if you are going to give me some criticism, then maybe sandwich it with some

praise so that I feel better about myself. So this, when we hear bad things about ourselves that we

perceive to be bad, we begin to get on the defensive. And oftentimes, this is where this

verse will be misused. Someone sits down with us, someone that we know, someone that we trust,

and they point out this characteristic, this sin pattern, this sinful behavior that's in our life,

and we don't want to discuss it. We want to deflect it. Maybe it's because we disagree with them.

Maybe it's because we don't see it the way that they see it.

But I think at our core, when it's the sin that we have in our life, and we want to use the Bible to

deflect and bounce this off of us, the truth of the matter is, for me and for you, probably where the

rub comes is we like it. We like that sin. We're comfortable with that sin.

We embrace that sin, and we don't want to give it up.

We're trying to use some real-life illustrations of where we see this. So let's just say that

there's someone who claims to be a follower of Jesus, right? They're part of a church. They're

part of their small group. They're invested. They're going on mission trips. They're doing all these

things, but they have a blatant sin in their life. Let's say it's gossip, right? I mean, before small

group starts, they're circling up around their circle, telling all the things that they've got.

At work, they're the person that people come to, and they're the people that go, and it's gossip

after gossip after gossip after gossip over and over and over again. They're saying things like,

I'm not saying it's true, but here's what I've heard. And they're dealing with the issue with

everyone except the person that the issue is with. And someone, a brother and sister in Christ, someone

that loves them, someone that comes to them, comes up and says, listen, I've just noticed something

about you, man, and I care for you, and I love you, but I just want to point out that maybe you're not

aware of this, maybe you haven't seen this in yourself, but I've noticed that you can have a

tendency to gossip. You know, when we were at small group the other day, and you came, and there was

somebody who wasn't there, and you began to talk about the things of them negatively and critically.

And, man, I don't even know if you realize you're doing it, but I see it. And here's why I can see it.

I can see it because I used to struggle with that. And sometimes I maybe even still can have a

propensity to drift back into that area in my life. And I've seen that in you. And you know that gossip

is a sin. And so if I can help you, if I can pray for you, if I can walk alongside you in any way,

shape, or form, man, let me know because we're in this together. We're in this together.

Usually when something like that happens, there's one of two reactions. The first reaction, I think,

is a positive reaction. This may be kind of a two-part. Maybe in that moment, that person does.

They see that in themselves. They acknowledge that in themselves. They realize that this is who

they can be, and this is what they can do. And right there, there's this positive confession

and repentance, and accountability is established. But maybe, maybe they don't.

And also in a positive, while confession, those things might not happen there, there's the honest

step back and just saying like, hey, this is a lot. I didn't know that I was going to come here and

have to wrestle with this, and I wasn't aware of this. So would you just kind of let me have some

time so I can process this and really pray through this and see because I trust you. And if you've seen

this in me, man, this is not who I want to be at all in Christ, but man, I want to just kind of make

sure and really spend some time and pray about this, and can we get together and talk about this

again? All right, one instant, admittance, confession, let's deal with this. Let's deal with

this together. Praise the Lord that that happens. But another, and I think it's equally valid of,

hey, I trust your word. I trust what you've seen. Man, this has kind of caught me off guard because it

hasn't been something that I'm overly aware of. So let me, let me pray about it, and let's talk some

more. Those would be some positive responses. But oftentimes, we, me included, we don't respond

that way, do we? We may not come out and quote this verse in the misuse of it, but what we think,

the body language that we show, or the words that we use, communicate the abuse of this word.

We may think, we may even say, oh, thanks, man. Who made you the Holy Spirit?

I appreciate that. Aren't we all sinners?

Now, aren't you supposed to encourage, and isn't this God's job to judge and not yours?

Or maybe, maybe. Since you've said that you struggle with gossip, and that you've struggled

with gossip, what gives you the right to come and address me? What gives you the right to judge me?

Let's read Matthew, starting in verse 7, 1. Let's read and get the context of this.

Judge not that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce, you will be judged.

And with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

Or how can you say to your brother, let me take the speck out of your eye, when there is the log in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

This teaching of Jesus in Matthew 7 is found in the Sermon on the Mount.

And the whole context of this message, this is the longest recorded sermon that we see of Jesus.

From Matthew 5 to Matthew 7 is one continual message of Jesus.

And he's explaining what it looks like to live as a devoted follower of Christ.

He'll cover topics like prayer, fasting, giving, anxiety, lust, anger, and much more.

And while we do nothing to deserve being adopted into the family of God,

once we become children of God, we are part of His kingdom,

and we are called to live differently.

I apologize for this not being on the screen, but this morning as I was reading through my notes,

I wanted to add this verse to kind of give some context.

So if you flip back, if you've got your Bibles,

Jesus in Matthew 5 begins with the Beatitudes,

the blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed.

Imagining if they were here, like, hey, what's this guy talking about today?

He's talking about being blessed.

Oh, cool, let's show up for that.

And then he flips it.

But then look, starting in verse 13,

Jesus says you are the salt of the earth.

But if salt has lost its taste,

how shall its saltiness be restored as no longer good for anything

except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet?

So you've got purpose.

You've got reason that there's a value of you in this world.

Verse 14.

You are the light of the world.

A city set on a hill cannot be hidden,

nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket,

but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works

and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

And then Jesus begins to walk through who He is and what God is calling them to be in Christ.

So you and I, we come to faith in Christ out of no merit of our own.

The work of the cross, the power of the resurrection.

But then from that, God changes us.

And we desire to be changed.

And both of these things happen simultaneously.

And so Jesus says, like, this is what this light looks like.

Go and do and be the good who God's called you to be.

And then this miracle happens when this takes place.

That people will give glory to God in heaven.

And I've just never seen an instance where my sin brings glory to God.

I've never seen a moment where I pursue the passions of the flesh that He saved me from.

And God is glorified.

And so we've got to work through with this in our life.

Do we live perfectly?

No, we don't.

So God, in what He is doing in our life,

wants to develop in us to have a heart for repentance.

A heart for repentance.

And here, a heart for repentance,

it kind of embraces two perspectives when it comes to sin.

A heart for repentance embraces both sorrow over our sin

and desire to grow past our sin.

Right?

Some of us, like, we're really good.

And we're like, man, I'm broken for this.

Like, this is not of God, but this is who I am.

And we have our moment, and we're there.

But then, it's just kind of it.

Spiritually speaking, we're buying the gym membership, but never showing up.

And then there's some of us that we want the change without the brokenness.

Eh, just whatever.

But I know that I have to, so I might as well.

But a heart for repentance causes us to embrace the sorrow

and long for the desire to grow past the sin.

So when we're made aware of sin in our life,

hopefully through the leading of the Holy Spirit,

but even potentially from the Holy Spirit speaking to the lives of others around us,

where we come to is an embracement of our sorrow over our sin

and a desire to grow past it.

I heard a pastor say years ago, and I love this,

that God loves you too much to save you from where you're at

and then leave you there.

That He saves you and He wants to move you and change you and work in you.

But also, the heart of repentance embraces attacking your sin,

but also the sin of others.

To where we see what is involved in the life of someone else,

a brother and sister in Christ.

And our longing and desire is God's best for them,

and that's not it.

And so, even if it means you're going to be mad at me,

even if it means if you're not going to like me,

even if it means that you're going to criticize me,

I love you too much to not help you deal with your sin,

but here's where it also comes in,

I love you too much to not first deal with my sin.

And that's what Jesus is getting to in Matthew 7.1.

Here's what Matthew 7.1 teaches us.

When it comes to sin,

when it comes to sin,

examine yourself first.

Take the log out.

I mean, picture what Jesus is talking about here.

Get this, the silliness, the absurdness that is this illustration.

It would be like going up and someone has that small speck of dust.

Now, that can knock you to your knees.

They've got that small speck.

And you're there with this four by four just kind of hanging out.

And you're like, let me help you first.

Examine yourself first.

Take the log out.

Press into the Holy Spirit.

See some time of growth.

Bring others into the conversation.

Begin to walk through the process of what it looks like to desire true change in your life.

Trust the process of God and leave your agenda to the side.

And what begins to happen through this is that as God gives you victory,

as God gives you freedom,

as God gives you all that God is going to work and do,

what God will do is develop a heart to help others.

And then, then once you've done that,

once you've done that,

while not perfect,

go and help others

with the dust

because you understand the log.

Go help them with the dust

because you understand the log.

Here's the process of what we begin to see.

I examine my life.

I'm broken.

I'm repentant.

I see where God is working and moving and bringing healing.

And let me talk about this just quickly, okay?

Healing doesn't necessarily mean perfection,

but it does mean progress.

Come on, man.

There's beauty in the struggle together.

There's beauty in this

as we walk through this.

I'm examining my life.

I'm broken.

I'm repentant.

I'm confessing it

to other brothers and sisters in Christ.

I'm seeing growth.

I'm seeing improvement.

And by the way,

I understand that all of the growth

and all of the improvement

is evidence of God in my life

and not evidence of just me being better.

So now what I want to do,

what I want to get to

is that I can go and help others.

And if you're person number two

and you're a Christian

is that when this happens,

receive,

don't defend.

Receive,

don't defend.

Was this a sin in your life?

Are you listening to you

or are you listening to the Holy Spirit?

Was this a sinful moment?

Was this a sinful pattern?

Repent.

And then the fullness of this.

Go and help others.

You see, Matthew 7,

what we see in the biblical perspective of this,

it's that you will deal with the log

so that you can help others with the speck.

But let's get with our mindset of this.

So many times,

not only do we begin to think,

who were they to say this to me,

but probably another battle

that you and I have been in

or been to before

where you ask yourself questions like,

but I mean,

is this my place?

I mean,

really,

who am I?

And should I address the sin

in other people's lives?

Yes,

but why?

Why?

Because we should care

to address the sin

in one another's lives.

We should love one another

to the depth

that our desire

is for their growth and godliness.

Sometimes what begins to happen

in the person

who's addressing

is you begin to ask yourself,

ask yourself this question.

What is my motivation?

Is my motivation for the gotcha?

Is my motivation

for the see how much I'm better than you?

For the motivation,

like,

have you ever,

maybe you and I haven't thought this,

but man,

or said this,

but man,

we've thought it.

I can't wait

to call them out.

And like a prize fighter

waiting to come out

for the world bout,

we're hopping in the back.

We're ready to go.

I'm gonna let them have it.

Is it for

the biblical call

to community

where we are

to encourage

one another

to live lives

that are pleasing

to God

or out of the own

sinful desires

of our hearts?

Both James and Paul

deal with this.

James 5,

19 through 20.

My brothers,

if anyone among you

wanders

from the truth

and someone

brings him back,

let him know

that whoever

brings back

a sinner

from his wandering

will save his soul

from death

and will cover

a multitude of sins.

Galatians 6,

1 through 2.

Brothers,

if anyone is caught

in any transgression,

you who are spiritual

should restore him

in a spirit

of gentleness.

keep watch

on yourself

lest you too

be tempted.

Bear one another's

burdens

and so fulfill

the law of Christ.

So here's what we learn

when we look

at these two passages

of scripture,

when we look

at these in light

of the Sermon

on the Mount

in Matthew 7

is that you and I,

like hopefully

you know this

about you

and I know this

about me

and we know this

about one another

that we have

a propensity

to wander.

We have a propensity,

like we do,

man,

you and I,

we know the path.

It's not that

it's a garden situation

and we're being tricked.

It's just like,

nah,

my sin wants this one.

And we wander.

And there will be times

when you and I

as believers

of Jesus Christ

get off track

and we need

one another

to get each other back.

Well,

shouldn't it be

the Holy Spirit?

Well,

if it should just be

the Holy Spirit,

then why did they

put this in there?

In 2000,

I think it was 2020,

we got Aaron

a new car.

And I,

I think I'm

a pretty good driver.

I've talked about

my driving recently

and the ticket

that I got.

But,

you know,

I moved past that.

Moved past

some of the criticisms

that some of you

decided to offer me

on that.

I'm not going to deflect that.

I'm just saying

how many points

you've got.

You know,

I'm just,

that's where we're at,

right?

So,

we're driving back.

We go into

North Augusta

to buy this car.

It's Aaron's car

and so she test drove it

and she's like,

oh,

well,

why don't you

drive it

back?

I'm like,

okay.

So,

I'm driving.

We're,

we're coming back up through

and we get on the interstate.

Now,

I'm a good driver.

And we're riding in the lane.

And all of a sudden,

I feel the steering wheel

start shaking.

And then the steering wheel

is taking me

into another direction.

Now,

at this point,

I'm like,

this Acura

is possessed

by a demon.

And then lights

start dinging.

Ding,

ding,

ding.

What in the world?

We keep driving.

About five minutes later,

starts doing it again.

Ding,

ding,

ding.

Aaron says,

I think what's happening

is because from time to time,

you can kind of

get distracted

and drift out of your lane

into another lane.

And so,

it pulling you back

is to get you back

in your lane.

And the ding,

ding,

ding is you're about to run

into the car that's beside us.

She's right.

And so is the car.

Right?

Like,

we have a propensity

to wander.

We get lazy.

We walk away

from forgetting

God's expectation

for us.

We desire

other things.

And what God

does

is yes,

he gives us

the Holy Spirit

to help us

get us back

on track.

But guess what?

He also gives us

one another,

the community

of believers

where we can sit

with one another

and say,

in love

and kindness.

Ding, ding, ding.

Let's get this thing

back on track.

Because we're prone

to wander.

But,

but with the desire

to restore.

A desire

to restore.

This is the point

we miss so often.

As believers,

when you

and I

address the sin

in someone's life,

I don't care

if it's your kid,

your spouse,

your pastor,

one another.

When we address

the sin

in someone's life,

the goal

cannot be

with an outcome

that leads

to a brokenness

in the relationship.

But with a desire

to restore

the brokenness

that they've allowed

in their relationship

with the Lord.

It's the desire

to restore.

It's the heart

that says,

I don't want

a gotcha moment.

I don't want to,

you deserve this moment.

I don't want a,

I've been waiting

to do this moment.

But it's,

hey man,

there's a tendency

for you to gossip.

And I've been there

and I've done that.

And I've seen

the damage

that I've done

in the lives

of the people

that I gossip about.

and God

has given me

some wonderful people

that have helped me

walk through this.

And man,

some of the same

destructive behaviors

that I see in myself,

I see in you.

and I would love

to.

I would love

to join

hands with you

and walk

through this

with you.

Because I see

the giftedness

in you.

I see how God's

using you.

I see

what God

could do.

But you're

off the path

and I want

to get you

back on.

Would you

come

do this

with me?

Take the log out.

Speak

out of what

you've seen

God do

so that we

can help

one another

remove

the speck

that's there.

Going to our

time to

response

a couple

questions

that I want

to ask

you.

Number one

what is the

eye?

What is the

eye?

And do you

need help

removing it?

Number two

is there

someone

that God's

laying on

your heart?

You see

the destruction

you see

the pain

you see

the suffering

and you

know that

it doesn't

have to

be this

way.

So what

do you

do?

What do

you do?

I would

encourage you

number one

pray and

fast.

Pray and

fast.

Pray and

fast over

this specific

situation

and hear

from the

Lord.

In that

number two

examine

yourself.

Just see.

is this

a log

for me?

And

number

three

go to

them in

love

and don't

go to

them

until it

can be

love.

Would you

pray with me?

Jesus

when I

think about

salvation

the beauty

of what

this looks

that not

only do you

desire to

save us

but to

transform us

to change

us.

And God

we thank

you

that in a

miracle

that cannot

be replicated

in a

miracle that

we cannot

understand

Lord

you send

us your

Holy Spirit

who's not

just around

us but

is in

to lead

to guide

to instruct

to teach

to convict

us.

God we

praise you

for that.

But Lord

you give us

one another.

you bring

us into

a family

as we

as a

family

are united

under our

Father.

And God

sometimes

we just

we miss

the beauty

that sometimes

brothers and

sisters

don't just

high five

and hug

but sometimes

brothers and

sisters sit

down across

from one

another

and they

work through

the difficulty

relationship

with one

another.

They get it

out.

They get it

on the

table.

They trust

in you and

they see you

work and

they see you

move.

they work

toward

restoration.

They work

toward unity.

They work

toward a love

that is not

self-seeking.

They work

toward a love

that brings

glory and

honor to

you.

God I

pray

that we

would be

people of a

heart for

repentance.

God that it

would begin

with brokenness

and sorrow

over our

own sin

and a

godly

desire to

be changed

to see your

spirit work

and that

God that we

would come

from this

desiring to

attack our

own sin

and desiring

to come

alongside

fellow brothers

and sisters

as they

attack

theirs

as well.

And God

this is a

messy process

but it's

so good

and God

it's needed.

God would

you work

and move

in your

people

as you

see fit

to bring

glory and

honor to

your name.

And it's

in Jesus name

we pray.

Amen.
