When Christians Get It Wrong

About this series

It’s easy to call yourself a Christian. It’s a lot harder to live like one.

In this raw 5-week series, we dive into some of Jesus’ most jarring words in Matthew 7—calling out the judgment, hypocrisy, and hollow religion that make so many lose their way. Week by week, we’ll confront the instincts that trip us up: the need to criticize, the addiction to appearances, the craving for control.

But Jesus doesn’t just tear down false faith—He rebuilds something better.

Through honest stories, interactive moments, and gut-level Scripture engagement, we’ll rediscover the kind of faith that’s real: humble, self-aware, anchored in relentless love.

If you’ve ever been burned by the church—or caught yourself becoming the very thing you hated—this series is for you. It's time to trade performance for transformation, judgment for mercy, and dead religion for a living relationship.

About this message

Pastor Scotty Scruggs kicks off our new series, When Christians Get It Wrong, by exploring what happens when we think we’re right—but miss the heart of Jesus' teaching.

This first week, we’re diving into one of the biggest ways we get it wrong: judgment. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us plainly, “Do not judge.” Yet today, Christians are often known more for criticism than compassion.

Join us as we unpack why judgment takes root in the first place—and how choosing grace instead can transform not just our relationships, but our lives.
