Summary

We can be challenged to grow in our affections for God and for others when it’s difficult.

We’re a bad judge of others

We’re a bad judge of self

We misjudge the Father

Life Group Discussion:

How can you practice humility by focusing on improving yourself instead of judging others?

In what areas do you need to ask God for help more often? How can you persistently seek His guidance every day?

How can you show compassion and treat others the way you want to be treated, even when it's difficult?

0:00.0	Hey, well, thank you. Good morning, everyone. So good to be here with you. Welcome. My name's Scott.
0:07.4	Whether we, we always say whether we haven't met, my name is Scott. If we've met, my name is Scott. If we've met, my name is Scott. And I am so glad to get to be here with you this morning. In 1996, I was living in Atlanta, Georgia. I was in grad school for physical therapy.
0:24.9	And does anyone remember what was going on in Atlanta in 1996? The Olympics. Yes. It was so
0:34.1	fun to be there. So I was single at the time, apparently had a lot of time and a lot of
0:39.1	money on my hands, because I went to everything. Every event I could go to, I went to. One day,
0:46.0	one of the highlights was the torch is running through Atlanta, and I got on my bike, and I
0:51.2	just rode along with the torch all day. It was incredible. I went to baseball. Don't even love baseball, but I went to baseball, handball, trampas, and I went on my bike and I just rode along with the torch all day. It was incredible.
0:59.1	I went to baseball. Don't even love baseball, but I went to baseball, handball, track and field,
1:07.5	gymnastics. I got to see the absolute goat of basketball, not LeBron, but MJ. It was incredible,
1:10.9	and it was so much fun to get to be at the Olympics.
1:14.3	Well, we are a big Olympics family in our home.
1:19.1	My wife, like, she's had this circled on the calendar for four years.
1:23.2	I mean, just could not wait for the Summer Olympics of 2024 in Paris.
1:27.4	It's on our TV constantly, and we're watching it whenever we can. So we do love the Olympics and
1:30.0	there's a couple different kinds of events in the Olympics. There are the kinds where whoever gets
1:36.0	the most points or the runs wins the medal. Whoever runs the fastest, swims the fastest,
1:41.5	whoever jumps the highest gets the gold. But there's some
1:45.9	events where it doesn't go based on who is the quickest, fastest, highest. It's based on
1:51.7	judges and what the judges evaluate in the athletes. And I'm so blown away by how incredible
1:58.4	these athletes are. And some of the judged events are events like diving,
2:03.5	breakdancing, surfing, and then there's the one that just like absolutely blows me away
2:09.8	gymnastics. And so, you know, there's judges who evaluate who wins, they score them, all that.
