Summary

Where there are differences among people, there is the potential for division. That is true in a business, a family, and certainly a church. Satan loves to take advantage of people’s differences to incite division, discord, and judgmentalism. This was the problem facing the church in Rome. So, Paul encourages them to accept one another as it relates to “disputable matters”—matters about which the Bible is either silent or not specific. In those cases, Paul wrote in Romans 14, we each must decide for ourselves what is right or wrong based on our own personal convictions. And then we must not judge one another for where our convictions might differ from someone else’s. Join Pastor Gary today as we learn how to keep unity and peace in the Body of Christ despite our many differences.

Romans chapter 14 is where we are if you have your Bibles there. I'm going to read the first 13

0:04.4

verses and then we will also jump to chapter 15 and read just the first two verses. But we're

0:11.7

actually going to look at all of chapter 14. I'm only going to read the first 13 verses at the

0:15.8

moment. So Romans 14 verse 1, Paul writes, receive one who is weak in the faith,

0:23.8

but not to disputes over doubtful things.

0:28.6

So you can circle the terms doubtful things.

0:32.3

For one believes he may eat all things,

0:34.9

but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not, we'll talk about that in a minute.

0:42.2

Let not him who eats, despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat, judge him who

0:50.2

eats, for God has received him. Who were you to judge another's servant? To his own master,

0:56.6

he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

1:02.2

Verse five, one person esteems one day above another. Another esteems every day alike.

1:07.6

Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the

1:12.4

Lord, and he who does not observe the day to the Lord, he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the

1:17.7

Lord, for he gives God thanks, and he who does not eat to the Lord, he does not eat, and gives God

1:23.1

thanks. For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to for if we live we live to the lord and if we die

1:30.8

we die to the lord therefore whether we live or die we are the lords for to this end christ died and

1:36.9

rose and lived again that he might be lord of both the dead and the living but why do you judge

1:43.5

your brother or why do you show contempt for

1:46.4

your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ, for it is written as I live,

1:51.8

says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. And so then each of us

1:57.7

shall give account of himself to God. Therefore, let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this not to put a stumbling
