KEY SCRIPTURES Ephesians 4:14:1 -3 Fighting the Simon Cowell Syndrome Tiger McLuen, Guest Speaker Unity Traits Humble Gentle Patient Bearing w/one another in love The Context of Ephesians 4: Matthew 7:1-5 What Jesus does NOT say What Jesus is saying #1 #2 Where Jesus gets tough #3 #4 NOW WHAT? 1. 2. 3. Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. Matthew 7:17:1 -5 Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. Words of wisdom... “Beware of anything that puts you in the superior person’s place..... Stop having a measuring rod for other people. There is always one more fact in every person’s case about which we know nothing.” -Oswald Chambers It is hard to be critical when you are grateful.
