“A Song of God's Revelation” on Psalm 19, by Scott MacDougall. Sunday, July 17tth

Romans 14:1-23, “Between the Weak and the Strong.” Paul’s teaching from Romans 12 and beyond is summarized and focused on relationships in a variety of contexts. Relationships inside the church, outside the church, and with the state. Now Paul wants to teach us how to love each other when we have different views and points of conscious. The church in Rome is divided over “disputable” issues. Frankly, issues, that shouldn’t divide them. The question Paul addresses is: how do we treat one another when we disagree on issues? When our disagreements aren’t about a license to sin or heresy, and merely cultural differences, what are we to do? Well, in good Pauline fashion, he always brings us back to the gospel, applied to all issues and situations.

Romans 9-11, “God’s Sovereignty, Our Responsibility, and Israel.”

What does it look like to continually cast our troubles and problems and complaints on God?

The imagery of a shepherd is a powerful metaphor for understanding what God is up to in our lives, and how he leads us daily

How do we live as a living sacrifice?

Even in the worst famines, plagues, and disasters, God continues to lavish us with is grace and bring us into a family and home that will last forever. A home without suffering, persecution, or fear.
