Sermon on the Mount: Countercultural Kingdom | Whataboutism and The Kingdom

“Well, sure, maybe I made a mistake, but what about them?” We say and feel this more than we’d care to admit. Jesus tells us this impulse does not fit his kingdom. When we pivot blame off of ourselves onto someone else, we’re helping no one. Jesus calls us to something higher than that in our lives if we’re going to follow him.

In this sermon, Joel unpacks this passage and explains how it connects to a deeper theme in Scripture, that of our shared complicity with sin. How does understanding this unfortunate truth about ourselves help us to navigate the situations where we fear someone noticing our problems? Listen and find out!
