In this passage, Paul takes aim at judgemental moralists. Christians sometimes have a reputation for being judgemental and moralistic, although these days you can find that kind of attitude everywhere. What is the problem with being judgemental, and how can Christians be different?

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I haven’t put my feet up over the summer: I have been busy working on Church with UTB. I am excited to announce that it’s ready to try out! Over the last couple of weeks we have been using the Church with UTB app. This is basically an app which can be used on your computer or on a device e.g. phone or tablet.
Very soon I will be recording a video to show you how to use it, but for now I wanted to flag up that it’s ready to check out.
One thing I am especially keen to do is make it possible for people who live near each other to find one another. I’ve given some thought as to the best way of doing this. I’ve decided that, for the moment, the best way is to add a community forum to the Understand the Bible website. My hope is that anyone who wants to find other people to connect with can post on the forums.
I also hope that the forums will provide a community space to chat about UTB videos and other things. I’ve been involved with forums for a long time, and although they have fallen out of favour on the internet I think they haven’t yet been surpassed as a way of discussing on the internet. (Forums are WAY better than Facebook groups, for example).
You’ll need to create an account, but it’s free and easily done. Why don’t you do so now and introduce yourself?
What is the problem with the world today? In this sermon, we look at Paul’s hard-hitting explanation of the root problem from Romans 1. The fundamental problem is ‘men have forgotten God’ – they turn away from him. God then gives us over to our sinful desires, which leads to the decay and degradation of society.

In the first part of a new series on the book of Romans, we think about how the gospel is not simply advice but is the power of God. Paul is called as an apostle of that message, and demonstrates the message in his life.

Do you take Jesus seriously? In the final part of the sermon on the mount, we think about the perils of claiming to be a Christian without taking Jesus seriously. We look at Jesus’ teaching about true and false disciples, as well as his famous parable of the wise and foolish builders.

This is the first part of the conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus summarises what it means for us to be his disciples. How should we follow him? And what does he mean about true and false prophets – how should we identify them?

Jesus’ famous words are all about prayer. But why is it that prayer so often does not feel like what he says – “ask and it shall be given”? Why do so many people find prayer such a struggle? Jesus’ words are here to encourage us to pray.

People often take the phrase ‘do not judge’ to mean that we shouldn’t ever criticise anyone else. But that’s not what Jesus intended us to understand. Instead, this is about how we relate to others and deal with sin – especially within the church.

In this, one of Jesus’ most famous teachings, he says that we should not worry. But what does that mean? How do we put this into practise in our lives? How do we trust God instead of worrying?

Jesus turns from authentic religion to how we should live in the rest of our lives. In this passage Jesus says that we should store up treasure in heaven, rather than treasure on earth. But what does that mean?
