In this message, we walk through Matthew 7:1-6 (ESV), where Jesus warns against judging others without first examining our own hearts.

Pastor Jeff shares a powerful illustration about the dangers of focusing on someone else’s faults while ignoring our own, urging us to seek spiritual growth from the inside out.

The sermon highlights the need for discernment over distraction, encourages daily Bible reading and prayer, and reminds us that true transformation comes through humility, honesty, and God’s grace.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeff Lister explores what it means to truly impact the world for God as a “Kingdom Builder.”

Drawing from Isaiah 6:1-8, Romans 10:13-15, and 2 Corinthians 8:1-7 (ESV), he outlines three essential qualities: a willing heart, a committed heart, and a generous heart.

Using biblical examples and modern missionary stories, Pastor Jeff challenges listeners to make themselves available for God’s mission—whether through serving, sharing the gospel, or supporting missions financially.

He reminds us that God’s Kingdom advances when ordinary people say yes to His call, and our collective sacrifices can echo into eternity, spreading hope both locally and globally.

This Sunday message, Pastor Jeff begins our Kingdom Builders vision series with part one from Matthew 6:19-24. Jesus warns us that whatever we treasure shapes our hearts, and He challenges us to invest in “treasures in heaven” rather than earthly possessions that fade.

Through real-life stories, biblical context, and practical teaching,We unpack why following Jesus with our finances, focus, and devotion is the only way to true security and eternal impact.

Listen in as we explore what it means to serve God, not money, and prepare our hearts for next week’s celebration of missions and reaching our world for Christ.
