About This Project

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Judge not, that you be not judged”?

In this week’s Kingdom Come Bible study, Pastor Tim Hatch takes us deep into Matthew 7:1–27, correcting popular misconceptions and showing us how to practice humble, biblical discernment.

Jesus doesn’t forbid all judgment—He calls His followers to judge rightly. That means first examining our own hearts, seeking God’s wisdom, and discerning who we’re speaking to. It also means watching for false prophets who twist truth and lead believers astray.

Grab your Kingdom Come journal and join us for a deep dive into Christ’s radical call to live like the Father. Available in any Waters Church book store or online at https://timhatchlive.com/journal
