The Peril of Prideful Judgment [Matthew 7:1-6]

November 8, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 11/08/2026

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Matthew

Key Text: Matthew 7:1-6

Description:

“Do not judge.”

Perhaps one of the most quoted —
and most misunderstood —
commands of Jesus.

But does this mean we remain silent
when confronted with sin?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —

where Jesus confronts the danger
of prideful judgment.

For the problem is not that we see
the speck in our brother’s eye —

it’s that we see it so clearly
while remaining blind
to the LOG in our own.

Yet Jesus does not tell us
to ignore our brother’s sin.

He calls us to first examine ourselves.

For righteous judgment
requires more than recognizing
what is wrong in another.

It requires the humility
to recognize what is wrong
in ourselves —

and thus our desperate need for His grace.

… A grace that moves us
to seek restoration
rather than condemnation.

Date: 08/10/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 32-37

Description:  A surprising introduction into the story is a lengthy speech form a young man named Elihu. Elihu, although aroused by anger against Job and his three friends, doesn’t unfairly accuse Job but reminds him of his former proclamations of faith and serves to prepare the way for Job to hear from God Himself.
