  • Everything You Wanted to Know About Judging Your Brother

    Everything You Wanted to Know About Judging Your Brother
    2026/10/05
    Guided Question When you find yourself judging someone else, are you willing to examine your own heart first—and are your words and actions aimed at restoration or condemnation? Summary This episode examines one of Jesus’ most quoted—and most misunderstood—teachings: “Do not judge” from Matthew 7:1–5. Rather than forbidding all discernment or accountability, Jesus is warning against unrighteous judgment—judgments based on incomplete information, personal preferences, or vindictive emotions. The message begins by highlighting how easily people can be judged unfairly and then turns to the “courtroom of the mind,” where we regularly act as judge and jury over the people around us. Scripture shows that believers are called to exercise righteous judgment, confront sin, and hold one another accountable, but that judgment must be guided by God’s standards rather than our own. The message identifies three common forms of unrighteous judgment: judging with incomplete information, judging others according to personal preference rather than biblical principle, and judging from a vindictive spirit fueled by jealousy, envy, revenge, or dislike. These judgments often move beyond our thoughts into gossip, isolation, revenge, division, and other actions that wound the body of Christ. Jesus’ illustration of the speck and the log reminds us that righteous judgment must begin with ourselves. Before confronting someone else’s weakness, we must honestly examine our own lives. The goal is not condemnation but restoration. The episode concludes with five principles for judging with a clear eye: judge according to God’s Word, make sure you are not guilty of the same sin, address the person directly, rely on facts rather than hearsay, and seek reconciliation rather than condemnation. Galatians 6:1–2 provides the final picture: believers who are spiritual should restore those caught in sin with gentleness while remaining aware of their own weakness. The challenge is personal and practical: identify those we may be judging through jealousy, hurt, or resentment, examine how we have treated them, and allow the Spirit of God to show us what we can do to bring restoration. Outline 1. The Judicial Principle — Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge” does not mean avoiding all accountability.Scripture calls believers to make righteous judgments.Jesus is addressing unrighteous judgment. 2. Unrighteous Judgment Judging with incomplete informationJudging by personal preference rather than biblical principleJudging from a vindictive spirit 3. The Judicial Boomerang — Matthew 7:2 The standard we use toward others will be used toward us.Believers will face a judgment of their works.God takes our treatment of others seriously. 4. The Judicial Focus — Matthew 7:3–5 Examine the “log” in your own eye first.Righteous judgment begins with self-examination.We must deal honestly with our own sin before confronting others. 5. Five Principles for Righteous Judgment Follow God’s standard.Do not be guilty of the same sin.Speak directly to the person.Use facts, not hearsay.Seek restoration, not condemnation. 6. The Goal: Restoration — Galatians 6:1–2 Restore those caught in sin with gentleness.Remain humble and aware of your own weakness.Protect the unity of the body of Christ. Key Takeaways “Do Not Judge” Does Not Mean “Never Discern” — Jesus forbids unrighteous judgment, not biblical accountability.Incomplete Information Leads to Unrighteous Judgment — We should gather facts before forming conclusions.Personal Preference Is Not God’s Standard — We must distinguish biblical principles from our own likes and dislikes.Vindictive Judgment Wounds Others — Jealousy, envy, revenge, and resentment can distort our judgment.Examine Yourself First — Before addressing another person’s “speck,” we must deal with the “log” in our own eye.Righteous Judgment Is Direct and Truthful — Biblical confrontation should be based on facts and addressed personally rather than through gossip or hearsay.The Goal Is Restoration — Righteous judgment seeks to heal and restore, not condemn and divide.

  • Jesus and the Law

    Jesus and the Law
    2026/09/28
    Guided Question Are you trusting in your own righteousness and good works, or are you relying on the righteousness of Jesus, who perfectly fulfilled the law on your behalf? Summary In this episode, Dr. Robert Lewis explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:17–20 concerning the law. He explains why understanding God’s law is essential for understanding God’s holiness, humanity’s sinfulness, Christ’s work, and the greatness of salvation. Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it completely. Dr. Lewis distinguishes the Mosaic law from the oral traditions developed by the scribes and Pharisees. While the law revealed God’s righteous standard, these additional regulations became so extensive that they could actually contradict and invalidate God’s commands. Jesus confronted this legalism and redirected attention to the true intent of God’s Word. The law also reveals that righteousness is not merely about outward behavior. Jesus raises the standard by showing that God examines the heart, including motives and attitudes. The law therefore exposes humanity’s inability to achieve righteousness through personal effort. This leads to the heart of the gospel: Jesus alone perfectly fulfilled the law. While the law leaves humanity aware of its sin and unable to earn salvation, Christ offers His righteousness to those who trust in Him. Salvation is not achieved through religious performance or good deeds, but received through faith in Jesus Christ. Outline 1. The Importance of the Law The law reveals God’s holiness and righteous standard.Understanding the law helps us understand sin, salvation, justification, and Christ’s work. 2. What the Law Contains Ceremonial lawsCivil lawsMoral lawsThe moral law provides a continuing standard of righteousness. 3. Jesus and the Law Jesus came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it.He fulfilled its ceremonial, civil, and moral requirements.God’s Word is completely reliable and trustworthy. 4. The Problem of Legalism The scribes and Pharisees added extensive oral regulations.Their traditions sometimes contradicted the very law they claimed to uphold.Jesus challenged religious traditions that replaced God’s Word. 5. Righteousness Beyond External Behavior The law addresses the heart as well as outward actions.Jesus exposes the inadequacy of outward religious performance.True righteousness must extend to attitudes, motives, and desires. 6. The Only Way to Salvation No one can earn salvation by keeping the law.The law reveals our sin and inability to meet God’s standard.Jesus alone perfectly fulfilled the law.Through faith, believers receive Christ’s righteousness. 7. The Cross Road One path trusts in personal righteousness and good works.The other trusts in Christ and His righteousness.Jesus offers forgiveness, grace, and entrance into the kingdom of heaven. Key Takeaways Jesus Fulfilled the Law: Christ did not abolish God’s law; He perfectly fulfilled it.God’s Word Is Reliable: Scripture provides a stable and trustworthy foundation in an uncertain world.Legalism Distorts God’s Law: Human traditions can become substitutes for God’s commands when they are elevated above Scripture.God Looks at the Heart: Righteousness involves motives and attitudes, not merely outward actions.The Law Reveals Our Sin: The law shows that no person can earn justification through good works.Jesus Is Our Righteousness: Christ accomplished what no human being could accomplish by perfectly fulfilling the law.Salvation Comes Through Faith: The gospel offers Christ’s righteousness as a gift of grace to those who trust in Him. Scripture References Matthew 5:17–20 — Jesus fulfills the law and calls for true righteousness. Mark 7:5–13 — Jesus confronts traditions that replace God’s commands. Exodus 20:1–17 — The Ten Commandments establish foundational moral law. Proverbs 16:2 — God examines a person’s motives. 1 Samuel 16:7 — God looks at the heart rather than outward appearance. Matthew 5:21–28 — Jesus applies the law to inner attitudes as well as outward actions. Matthew 23:27–28 — Jesus exposes the hypocrisy of outward righteousness without inward transformation. Galatians 3:22 — Scripture reveals humanity’s bondage to sin. Romans 3:20–24 — The law reveals sin, while righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 — All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. 1 Timothy 5:8 — Believers are responsible to care for their families. Recorded 3.13.83

  • The Happy Christian

    The Happy Christian
    2026/09/21
    Guided Question What step are you on in learning to live God’s way — recognizing your spiritual poverty, mourning what keeps you from Him, submitting your life to His direction, or hungering and thirsting for righteousness? Summary In this episode, Dr. Robert Lewis explores the first four Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1–12 and Jesus’ surprising teaching about the path to true happiness. Rather than finding happiness through the things the world tells us will satisfy us, Jesus presents a different way of living—one rooted in dependence upon God, repentance, submission, and a deep desire for righteousness. Lewis explains that the Beatitudes are not merely actions but attitudes that become part of who we are. The first four focus on our relationship with God and build upon one another like steps leading us toward deeper spiritual maturity. The first step is poverty of spirit. To be “poor in spirit” means recognizing our complete inadequacy and realizing that we cannot live this life successfully on our own. Lewis contrasts this with the cultural message of self-sufficiency and emphasizes that spiritual life begins when we are willing to admit our need and cry out, “God, help.” The second step is mourning. Jesus is not simply talking about sadness but about a deep inward grief over the things that block our relationship with God. Through the story of the sinful woman in Luke 7 and the example of the rich young ruler, Lewis shows how genuine sorrow over sin can lead to repentance and ultimately to the comfort God promises. The third step is submission. Lewis explains that biblical meekness is not weakness or passivity but strength brought under control. Just as a wild horse is brought under the control of its rider, believers are called to bring their goals, priorities, time, talents, and desires under God’s direction. This submission is an ongoing process as God exposes and removes the areas of resistance in our lives. The fourth and highest step is hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Jesus describes a passion so intense that everything else becomes secondary. Those who deeply desire God, His will, and His righteousness are promised that they will be satisfied. Lewis describes this as the deep fulfillment and stability that the world’s temporary promises cannot provide. Lewis contrasts this path with the emptiness that can come from pursuing success, wealth, achievement, intellect, or worldly philosophies without God. He points to Abraham as an example of someone who progressively walked these four steps—leaving what was familiar, allowing God to remove obstacles, submitting to God’s direction, and ultimately demonstrating complete trust when asked to offer Isaac. Abraham’s life ended with the biblical description that he was “satisfied with life.” The message closes with a personal challenge: What step are you on? Have you admitted your spiritual poverty? Have you mourned deeply enough over the things that separate you from God? Have you submitted your life to His direction? And are you hungering and thirsting for God Himself? Jesus’ promise is that this difficult path ultimately leads to comfort, spiritual life, and deep satisfaction. Outline 1. The Foundation of True Happiness Jesus presents a different path to happiness. The Beatitudes establish the foundation for life in God’s kingdom. The first four focus on our relationship with God. 2. The Happiness of Poverty Recognizing our spiritual inadequacy. Rejecting self-sufficiency and pride. Depending upon God and receiving the reality of His kingdom. 3. The Happiness of Sadness Mourning over the things that block our relationship with God. Recognizing sin and allowing God to expose it. Finding comfort through repentance and forgiveness. 4. The Happiness of Submission Understanding meekness as strength under God’s control. Bringing our goals, priorities, time, and abilities under His direction. Surrendering the areas of resistance in our lives. 5. The Happiness of Hunger Developing an intense desire for God and His righteousness. Moving beyond spiritual complacency. Trusting Jesus’ promise that those who hunger and thirst will be satisfied. 6. The Path to a Satisfied Life Abraham demonstrates these principles through his life. Worldly pursuits cannot provide lasting satisfaction. True happiness comes from living according to God’s way. Key Takeaways True happiness is found through a life oriented toward God. Spiritual poverty begins with admitting that we need God. Mourning over sin can lead to repentance and comfort. Meekness means bringing our strength and self-will under God’s control. Following God requires surrendering the areas of resistance in our lives. Spiritual hunger means developing a deep desire for God and His righteousness. The things that seem difficult in Jesus’ teaching are ultimately intended to lead us to life and satisfaction. Worldly success, possessions, ...
