CuRRENT SERIES

During Spring & Summer 2025, we will be resuming our study of Romans (10-16), Paul’s most thorough theological masterpiece.
We will discover how the ‘new way of the Spirit' connects us to the righteousness of God revealed by faith.

WELCOME

WORSHIP

The Scripture has all sorts of verses encouraging believers to accept one another. Can you imagine, what life would be like, if all the Christians got along with one another?

Chapters 14 & 15 of Romans is a lengthy discussion about navigating offenses and disagreements in their community. It is amazing that “food fights” is the single example in this week’s text. The OT food laws were very important to the Jewish followers. However, there was a wide range of opinions on what was permissible, and that led to many believers judging one another. It caused others to “stumble” in their faith.

In this incredibly symmetrical and logical progression, Paul argues persuasively “if our brothers & sisters are distressed” or pushed away from faith, we are to change course. We are to strive to do whatever it is that leads to peace and to the edification of others. Less judging, less offense, less defensiveness. More peace.

“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17
