As a group, take a few minutes to revisit the teaching and discussion from Romans 14:1-12, which was our baggage from the 10/24 weekend. What are the issues Paul presents, the principles he introduces, and the applications steps we ought to consider?
Read Romans 14:13-15. What are some examples you’ve experienced where your convictions about a debatable matter differed from those of another (multiple other) Christian? How did you handle it?
Paul urges us to use our freedom to choose to yield our weaker brothers and sisters out of love. Why is this difficult? What would prevent us from making these choices?
Do you pursue what promotes peace and build up others? What are some ways you can do more of this?
In Romans 9:33 Paul says that God placed Jesus as a “stone to stumble over.” What does this mean? How is Jesus Himself the only true “stumbling block”?
