Fusion: week of 2/19

FAMILY THEME: GRACE-BASED RELATIONSHIPS

Romans 14:1-23

The salvation that comes through faith in Jesus revolutionizes our

relationships with others.

1.  Accept and Live in Harmony with Others No Matter Where They are

     on Their Journey of Faith

     (Romans 14:1-4)

     We are to accept others even when they disagree with us over

     secondary issues.

 
2.  We Are Part of an Interdependent Community Under the Lordship

     of Christ

     (Romans 14:5-9)

     Living under the Lordship of Christ allows for a graceful

     acceptance of differences.

 
3.  We are to Focus on Our Own Relationship with God and Leave

     Leave Judgment to Him

     (Romans 14:10-12)

     We must remember that God is the judge, not us.

4.  Be Careful Not to Harm Others as You Live in Freedom and Grace

     (Romans 14:13-23)

     It is wrong to exercise your liberty in a way that causes another 

     Christian to sin.
