In this bold, verse-by-verse study of the Sermon on the Mount, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals that true happiness is not found in earthly gain—but in total surrender to Jesus Christ. Drawing from Matthew chapters 5–7, this 8-part series exposes the lies of cultural religion and calls believers to embrace the radical righteousness of the Kingdom. Dr. Youssef teaches how to be salt and light in a decaying world, how to control anger, reject lust, love purity, and judge rightly. These are not optional suggestions—they are the marks of those who truly belong to Christ. With clarity and conviction, Dr. Youssef urges us to live under the authority of God’s Word, forsake self-righteousness, and pursue the blessed life found only in full obedience to the King.

In this final message of the series, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts one of the most misused verses in Scripture—“Judge not, lest you be judged.” Preaching from Matthew 7:1–12, he powerfully clarifies that Christ does not call us to ignore sin or false teaching, but to reject self-righteous, motive-based judgment. Only God knows the heart; our role is to judge actions with humility, after first repenting of our own sin. Dr. Youssef warns against the sin of self-righteousness, which blinds us to our need for grace and cripples our witness. Instead, he calls believers to righteous discernment, persistent prayer, and dependence on God’s mercy. This is true spiritual maturity—seeing clearly, judging carefully, and seeking God’s will above all.
