Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “Splinters and Logs” based on Matthew 7:1-5:
Most of us aren’t able to judge others fairly.
We must exercise mercy when dealing with others.
Many use judgment of others to control or condemn.
Some use judgement of others to make themselves feel better.
Leave the judging to God.

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s message “More than Conquerors” based on Romans 8:31-39:
