How can Christians with different convictions live together in genuine unity? Romans 14-15 provides profound guidance for navigating disagreements while maintaining fellowship in Christ.

Our panel explores how Paul flips conventional wisdom upside down when handling disputes in the early church. Rather than the "strong" Christians (those with greater freedom) insisting on their way, Paul calls them to voluntarily limit themselves out of love for others. This counterintuitive approach mirrors Christ's own example—the strongest personality in history chose to get lower than anyone else to lift humanity up.

We discover that judgment becomes toxic when it removes hope and places ourselves on a throne of superiority. True strength is demonstrated not by winning arguments but by serving those we disagree with. As Dwayne Morgan powerfully asks: "How low will I go to win a brother or sister?"

The discussion reveals how Scripture trains us to read the entire Bible—even the Old Testament—as immediately relevant to our lives as believers. Each biblical story becomes our story, with Christ at the center speaking directly to our circumstances today.

The panel unpacks Paul's priestly language and evangelistic passion as he describes his travel plans and the collection for Jerusalem believers. This profound act of generosity wasn't merely financial aid but a powerful symbol of reconciliation between Jewish and Gentile Christians—demonstrating how the gospel creates one global family from diverse backgrounds.

Join us as we explore how Christian unity becomes a showcase of God's glory in a divided world, offering hope that transcends our differences and points to the eternal future we share in Christ.
