Specks, Planks, and Holy Things

Joel Singleton

In a culture that thrives on calling people out, Jesus calls us into honest self-reflection and Kingdom discernment. Matthew 7:1–6 is more than a warning against judging; it’s a roadmap to clarity, humility, and wisdom. This sermon unpacks Jesus’ humor-filled but soul-searching metaphor of specks and planks, contrasts Kingdom justice with cancel culture, and challenges us to look in the mirror before we ever point a finger. It’s not about avoiding truth; it’s about embodying grace.
