Sermon from February 22

Judgment and Time Belong to God

James 4: 11 - 17

1. The law tells us to love one another. (Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 22: 37 - 40)
2. So if we put each other down or lie about each other, we are acting as though we are above God's law. If someone is above God's law, then he is above God Himself.
3. Jesus said not to judge each other (Matthew 7:1 - 5)
4. We tell a brother who is acting sinful (5:19-20, 1 Corinthians 6: 2 - 5, Galatians 6: 1, 2), but the judgment belongs to God, not us. Jude 22 - 23
5. Do you build others up or tear them down?
6. The problem is not making plans, the problem is leaving God out of your plans.
