Title: Judge Yourself and You Will Not Be Judged (Breaking of Bread)
Date: 06/14/2026
Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29)
We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3)
We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The central message encourages believers to approach fellowship, especially at the Lord's table, with an earnest desire for connection rather than a critical or judging spirit. The speaker draws parallels from Jesus' example and Paul's warning regarding judgment on the final day, advising that we should focus on praying for others instead of forming negative opinions about them. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a state where there will be no judgment against us.

Jesus' earnest desire for fellowshipLooking at Luke 2/22, we see that Jesus had an earnest desire to eat the Passover with His disciples despite their imperfections.
Rejecting the role of critic and judgeInstead of bringing opinions or assessing the spirituality of others, we should come to the table with a desire for fellowship.
Understanding weakness and praying for othersJesus knew Peter would deny Him due to weakness, teaching us to pray for those facing trials rather than judging them.
The reality of our life's record before GodEverything in our lives will be presented before the Lord on the final day, and while confessed sins are blotted out, our wrong judgments of others remain.
Judging ourselves to avoid final judgmentBy judging ourselves rightly now, we can ensure there is zero judgment against us on the final day.
