### Galatians
* Galatians 2:4–5 - Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
* Galatians 2:14 - But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
### 1 Corinthians
* * 1 Corinthians 8:13 - Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
* 1 Corinthians 8:9 - But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.
### Romans
* Romans 9:32–33 - Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
### James
* James 2:1–4 - My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
### 1 Peter
* 1 Peter 4:8 - Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

"Causing a Brother to Stumble or to Stand in Grace" brings Pastor Jed, Pastor Isaias, and Jason into a focused conversation on how gospel freedom and love shape our choices in community. Drawing from Galatians 2 and 1 Corinthians 8, they show why Paul never adjusts the gospel’s content, even as he gladly lays aside personal preferences to keep others from stumbling. The episode clarifies that “stumbling” means being turned from reliance on Christ, not simply feeling offended. With Romans 9, James 2, and 1 Peter 4 in view, they call listeners to keep in step with the gospel, refuse adding performance to faith, and pursue unity through patient love that honors tender consciences without surrendering the good news.
