Welcome to Maple Hill

"A Critical Look Within" (Luke 6:37-45)

What is the best way to combat the evil, corruption, and sin that fill our world?

Our instinct is often to focus on everyone else's lives. We critique them, preach against their sins, and sometimes even try to shame them into repentance. But Jesus points us in a different direction. The most effective way to make a difference in a sinful world is to begin by looking within and allowing God to change us.

There is certainly no shortage of evil around us, yet Jesus teaches that His followers must first deal with their own sin before attempting to help others with theirs. In fact, this is the most effective way to combat sin because our own lives are the one place where we have both the responsibility and the opportunity to change.

This Sunday morning at Maple Hill, we'll explore Jesus' teaching on judging. We'll discover that if we truly want to help others overcome sin, we cannot approach them with a critical or judgmental spirit. Instead, we must first be humbled by our own need for God's grace. Only then are we prepared to lovingly and wisely help others with theirs.
