Does a dollar bill loose its value if its dirty, worn and has ripped edges? Yes! And so do people! Your value in God's eyes always remains the same. But often we fall into valuing others less. God places us in community to be set apart and live a certain way. In this sermon we unpack that a bit.
The passage is Luke 17:1-10
And a solid supporting passage is this... Romans 14:13-23
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
