“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. Matthew 7:1-5 (NIV)

God’s design is that we build humbly. The Lord now shifts to how we build. Sometimes it’s tempting to think we have it all together, that we have the higher ground, that we understand more than others. Just because we come and sit at the feet of Jesus isn’t the sign that we are walking with Jesus. After hearing his word, we must put it into practice… humbly. How we treat others is vitally important, even as we share the saving message of the love of God though Jesus Christ, Let’s learn this Sunday the kingdom call of Building Humbly. Come and invite your family and friends! See you Sunday!
