Message Notes
ROMANS 14:1-23
Qualities of a disputable matter:
1) It is an expression of devotion and commitment to Christ.
2) It is NOT an issue of foundational doctrine!
3) It is a secondary issue, and not worth fighting over.

Romans 14:3
1) The weak believer is commanded not to ‘condemn’ = (Judge or criticize)
2) The stronger believer is commanded not to ‘look down upon’ = contempt

Romans 14:12

Romans 14:19

Focus On:
1) Doing what leads to peace
2) Building each other up
3) Staying true to your own convictions without insisting others share them
