Nikki and Colleen study through Romans 14:19–23. What does the Bible say about Christian freedom and eating? How must a Christian who loves sushi behave around a new believer that is still a solid vegetarian?

Colleen and Nikki study through Romans 14:17–18. Does your church or belief system include rules concerning your diet? Do you follow a prophet that taught that you become like the animals you eat? Did you know that the Seventh-day Adventist organization helped create large food companies that produced highly refined artificial meat products?

Colleen and Nikki study through Romans 14:13–16. This passage shows that you should not grieve a believer with your food choices, and a believer should never slander your own food choices. The kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking!

Colleen and Nikki study through Romans 14:10–12. Did you know that there is a special judgment by God for works? Is salvation based on works after all? And are  degrees of rewards and punishments taught in the Bible?

The Book of Romans Series: Colleen and Nikki discuss Romans 14:5–9. Charlie Kirk's book on the Sabbath, Stop in the Name of God, has sold out and is a "best seller" in America. Adventism is using Kirk's focus on the Sabbath to advance their doctrine of seventh-day Sabbath keeping. What does the Bible say about the Sabbath?
