In Romans 14, Paul brings the deep truths of the gospel into the everyday realities of Christian community. What does it look like to follow Jesus when believers sincerely disagree about matters of conscience, preferences, traditions, and Christian liberty?This sermon challenges us to move beyond simply trying to be right and instead ask a more important question: Are the things we say and do helping us pursue peace and build one another up?Because we belong to Christ, we are called to welcome and accept one another rather than judge or hold one another in contempt. Our convictions matter, but our Christian liberty is not meant to serve ourselves. Love may call us to willingly limit our freedom for the good of another believer.Romans 14 reminds us that Jesus is Lord of every believer. We are not the master of another person's conscience, and we don't have to make everyone else a carbon copy of ourselves. Instead, we can walk in humility, extend grace, and trust the Lord to shepherd His people.The kingdom of God is bigger than our preferences. It is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. As followers of Christ, we are called to actively pursue the things that make for peace and the building up of one another.* Welcome and accept one another because God has welcomed us* Don't turn personal preferences into tests of spirituality* Practice discernment without becoming judgmental* Let love be more important than personal liberty* Pursue peace and the building up of one another* Remember that Christ—not our preferences—is the foundation of our unity* Live in the righteousness, peace, and joy of the Holy SpiritMay this message encourage us to ask not only, "What am I free to do?" but also, "Will this help my brother or sister walk with Christ? Will this build up the body? Does this pursue peace?"🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.
