Live and Love in Faith -- Part 2

November 17, 2024 • Ed Eddingfield • Romans 14:13–23

Last week we discussed how the Bible teaches us to love others with our actions, words, and acceptance. Not that we should compromise the truth, or endorse immaturity, but instead that we must remember that our call to love is bigger than our call to establish rules or to make everyone see things the same as us (concerning debatable things). This week we finish the passage by seeing that our ACTIONS must always align with God and His will for our lives.

Live and Love in Faith

November 10, 2024 • Ed Eddingfield • Romans 14:13–23

How do we live with others that believe differently from us in “debatable” areas of faith? How do we act towards others who practice their freedoms in Christ differently? Then…what in the world do we do ourselves? Do we follow suit? Do we not? The standard is found in love and faith. Do right by others, do right by God, and do it all in love. Let’s live and love in faith!

The Not-So-Fine Line

November 3, 2024 • Ed Eddingfield • Romans 14:1–12

What are some of the fine lines that you walk? Perhaps you know exactly how far you can go before your parents get mad? Perhaps you know the legalese to stay just out of trouble at work? Perhaps you know exactly how to avoid a question so that you’re not really lying? Not all lines are fine. Today we learn that the line between conviction and judgment is bold—we need to know the difference. Do you know how to tell the difference?
