How Do Christians with Differences Live in Harmony?

In his message on Romans 14:13-23, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky explores how Christians with differing opinions can live in harmony. He emphasizes that believers should avoid judging each other and instead focus on not causing others to stumble in their faith. By respecting each other's convictions, particularly on disputable matters, and prioritizing love and peace over personal preferences, Christians can maintain unity. Paul highlights that the Kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Therefore, mutual respect and building each other up should be the goal, fostering a harmonious community despite differences.

Paul’s letter to the church in Rome is widely loved among followers of Jesus as one of the most theologically rich books in the entire Bible. Its themes of salvation, grace and faith have resonated deeply with readers in different times, places and circumstances. As we take a fresh look at the book of Romans for our day, we’ll take our time to journey through the text, ask thoughtful questions and allow it to kindle our faith and love for Jesus.
