Scripting the Flip - Sermon On The Mount - Judging Others

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.

We all judge—but Jesus invites us to think differently.

Not to ignore sin, but to approach others with mercy, humility, and clarity. In a world quick to condemn, Jesus shows a better way: start with your own heart, discern gently, and love deeply.

This Palm Sunday, as we remember Jesus weeping over a blind city, we're reminded—true judgment begins with compassion.

So the question isn't if we'll judge. It's how.
