Russell DeLong preaches about the importance of not judging others and being aware of our own faults before criticizing others. He uses the analogy of keeping a box score in baseball to illustrate how we tend to magnify the faults of others while minimizing our own. DeLong emphasizes the need to focus on our own hits, runs, and errors, and to let God, the Official Scorer, keep track of the box scores. The sermon encourages self-reflection and honesty in evaluating our own actions before passing judgment on others.

Zac Poonen addresses the critical nature of the Pharisees, who, despite witnessing Jesus' miraculous acts, chose to attribute them to evil motives rather than recognizing His divine authority. He highlights the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, who are quick to judge others while being partial to their own family members. This sermon emphasizes the danger of suspicion and the tendency to assume the worst about others, which stems from a selfish heart. Poonen calls for self-examination to avoid falling into the same critical mindset that the Pharisees exhibited.
