 Hello Paul, Jefina and John Paul. Thank you for joining class. Also welcome to our e-learning students. We'll be listening to this lecture later on. Last class that was on Monday, we began studying chapter 14 of the book of Romans. We read through Romans chapter 14 and I just gave a brief introduction to chapter 14. Now we'll continue our study with each verse on chapter 14. Before we do that, we'll just pause for a word of prayer. So can I ask Paul to lead us in prayer please? Let's pray. Father Almighty Good, we thank you for yet another bright day in our life. I surrender the class to you, I surrender the lecture to you. It is because of your grace and glory that we exist. Father King of glory, as we are going to learn, we call upon the spirit of understanding, the spirit of wisdom to prevail upon us. We cover the internet connection with the blood of Jesus that there will be no interruption. We pray and commit this in Jesus Christ's name. Amen. Thank you Paul. So in Romans chapter 14, Paul is basically talking about how we relate to one another. He's talking about Christian living here and two points he basically highlights in Romans chapter 14. The first one is don't judge another brother or another believer who is expressing their faith little differently from you. And the second thing is don't become a stumbling block, which means we need to live our lives in such a way that our expression of faith shouldn't cause someone else to stumble in their faith or the way that we live or the way that we do things, what we eat, we drink, the places that we go to should not become a stumbling block to others in their faith walk with God. So he basically puts it in the context of, you know, he's talking in the context of certain things that are relevant for them. So he's saying, you know, in that context, he's saying, don't judge someone in the certain days they observe, which is certain days they're good, certain days they're bad and the food that they eat. Okay. And then he's secondly, he says, how I express myself in the food I eat or what I should drink should not cause someone else to stumble. So he's basically talking about these two specific areas they eat. Okay. Now, is that it's going to be relevant for our day and age today? What do you think? It's what Paul writing in Romans chapter 14. Do you think it is relevant for us in our day and age today? Yes. No. Can I have some answers? Sorry. Somebody said something. Okay. Okay. Jeffyna says it's relevant. Okay. I thought I heard Rosalind. I don't think she's in the class. Okay. It's relevant. How is it relevant? Okay. So even today there can be issues like this among believers about observing certain days, food. It might not be like a major issue like it was in Paul's time and that is why he's writing, but the principle that Paul brings out here in this two specific contexts that he's writing to the church at Rome also apply to other situations, you know, or it can, you know, or we need to apply the same truth in the situations that we face in today's day or age or in the context that we are living in. Okay. So what do you think are some of the areas that we think that people judge us on as believers or some of the areas that we can be a stumbling block to others? What do you think? If you don't want to unmute your mics and speak, you can type in the chat. What do you think some of the challenges are in today's age, the time that we are living in, that people can judge us on? I have few points to share, but I don't know if it goes well everywhere, but back in my place, the way we dress is one of the way people judge us. So if you don't wear a saree, if you don't wear a selvar or if you don't cover our heads, that creates a lot of judgment. So when I go back to my place, being a Bible college student, the judgment increases more. And I am from a village background, my dad is from a village background. So on our vacations, we go there. In there, the food practices, they still follow. They still believe we should not eat blood, take all those things. So I think it depends upon the culture. So obviously when I go back to my village, I don't eat much of these things. And when I go back to where I live, I try changing my dress because we don't want to be a stumbling block, especially when I go and preach somewhere. And I may follow different things here, but when I go back there, I'll change a little. Ultimately, we want the word to reach them. Yes, so true. Thank you, Jafina. Anyone else wants to share? I think culture is very different places, especially for us as women, when we have to go and preach and teach somewhere else, especially if you go on Mission Strip to North India, we are careful what we wear. We have to cover our head when we go up to preach. At APC, when we go up to preach on stage, we can wear shoes or a footwear or whatever. But when we go to these churches, we have to remove our footwear. So it's good to do these things so that we are not a stumbling block to anyone. So let's study Romans chapter 14 so that we can look at what Paul is basically saying and then apply the same truths in today's context or the time that we are living in. So can somebody please read Romans chapter 1 verses 1 to 13, please? So is it Romans chapter 14 verses 1 to 13? Even like Surita, Romans chapter 14 verses 1 to 13 or 1 to 10? We see one who is weak in the faith but not disputes over doubtful things. For one believes that he may eat all things but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat. And let not him who does not eat judge him who eats. For God has received him. Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed he will be made to stand. For God is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day above another, another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day observes it to the Lord. And he who does not observe the day to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats eats to the Lord for he gives God thanks. And he who does not eat to the Lord he does not eat and gives God thanks. For none of us lives to himself and no one dies to himself. For if we live we live to the Lord and if we die if we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or die we are the Lords. To this end Christ died and rose and lived again. That he might be Lord of both dead and the living. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. I will read till 13 faster. Yes please John. Thank you. For it is written as I live says the Lord every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. So that each of us shall give account of God, account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore but rather resolve this not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way. Amen. Thank you John Paul. So in this first part of his letter or in chapter 14 or this part of the portion of the letter that he is writing you know Paul is concerned about people who are weak in the faith. So basically someone who is new to the faith or basically someone who's been there a couple of months and is growing. So what Paul is saying is welcome them and when you welcome them receive them. But when you receive them don't go about arguing or disputing with them about which days to observe, what food they're eating, how they're eating, why they're eating and all of these things. So he's saying you know be mindful of these people who are new in the faith who have come newly basically Gentiles are coming into the church and it's the Jews who are you know talking about all of these customs rituals or testament laws and rituals and days and things that they are following continue to follow even though they have accepted Jesus Christ. So he says you know when they do some things in a certain way it's their preference and if it's their preference don't look down on them because of how they are dressing how they are living, what days they observe as more sacred than other days what kind of food they're eating and all of those things it's their preference and in verse 3 he says you know whatever they eat or drink or whatever who are we to judge them you know because God has received them which means God receives all of us equally and so he says don't judge anyone because whatever they do it's between God and them so whatever you are doing as Jews it's between you and God and whatever they are doing the other new believers in the faith basically referring to Gentiles is saying you know it's between them and God it's God who judges okay you are no one to judge so if some people have some days as preference it's between them and God you know for some people all the days are same some people some days are more sacred than other days and you know if they are convinced about some things for themselves you know let them it's their preference it's their choice let them do what they're doing because whatever they're doing is between them and God and God receives all of us and he receives all of us equally okay so he's saying you know let them do don't dispute over those things so in today's world you know in the context of our church today it could be you know when new believers come to our church it's about you know whether they should wear certain kinds of clothes you know whether they should wear certain kind of jewelry whether women should be allowed to preach and teach whether women should be allowed to wear you know come with braided hair and jewelry you know and all of those things you know whether going to the movies is right you know or whether coming to church in jeans or shorts is right or not right just shorts and t-shirt is okay to come you know to church or whether women should cover their heads what else you know baptism whether sprinkling baptism or immersion baptism you know whether they're able to speak in tongues or not you know the gifts of the Spirit and the Holy Spirit so you know if we just push all of these things on these new believers they would not want to come to church so we need to be very very careful even with children you know realize that the ministering to children you know some of these things can be so we need to be so sensitive to children I remember before I took over children's church you know one of the teachers was teaching me told me that you know we were teaching about the Holy Spirit and the baptism the Holy Spirit and so she was saying how she brought her her nephews to church and they are from a very traditional background and that Sunday it was about the Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit baptism and she said the way things were done you know clearly kind of put off these children and really scared them that they did not they said they would not come and attend this children's church again so you know that was a good hearing from this person because after that you know I've been so mindful whenever we do whether we whenever we teach about the Holy Spirit or have Holy Spirit baptism in children's church or do anything that is new some programs anything always educate the children tell them what we are doing what is the intention what is the learning why we are doing what we are doing because if not when we don't do that children are totally lost and they can you know totally get put off and they can even not want to come to children's church or even church and do nothing with have to do anything with God so you know we need to be very careful and sensitive to even how we go about doing this even in adult church even when we do Holy Spirit baptism or even when we are talking about you know water baptism you know specifically at the APC we have a teaching you know we teach about water baptism before people are water baptized just about 20 minutes we take them through walk them through that publication water baptism and even before people go through Holy Spirit baptism we realize they come with different mindsets thoughts and views about how Holy Spirit baptism is what it is and so how important it is for us to teach them and give them the freedom you know whether they want to accept and move and be prayed for and be led and all of those things so you know all of these things are not to be argued about okay all of these things we should be sensitive the doubtful things here what Paul is talking about is what you eat and the days you observe okay so in essence what Paul is saying is in a is he's saying you know don't argue okay about these doubtful things and verse 3 says let not him who eats despise him who does not eat and let him who does not eat judge him who eats for God has received him so the essence of what he's saying is you know don't despise don't judge you know because God has received them God has accepted them and all of them are equal before God okay and verse 5 he says you know let each be fully convinced in his own mind so you'll be convinced in your own mind what you want to do how you want to dress how you want to live you know what days you want to observe what kind of food you want to eat whether you want to eat meat or vegetable what days are more sacred than the other days you know so there is no hard and fast fool in the New Testament about for believers on such things okay so he says you have to make up your mind and once you make up your mind he says there are two things you need to do what do you think are the two things you need to do what do you think Paul is saying are the two things to do I already mentioned it anyone would like to say what are the two things we need to do once we are convinced in our mind what we should be doing what we shouldn't be doing what are the two things that we need to do any answers first one is do not judge okay and the second one is don't be a stumbling block to others okay do not judge someone you know they don't follow what you are doing okay that's what he says in verse 10 can somebody read verse 10 again please verse 10 but why do you judge your brother or why do you show contempt for your brother for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ yes so it says why are you judging or showing contempt you know contempt means why are you looking down as though you are more spiritual than them as though you are more righteous than them because of certain kind of food you eat the way you dress the way you worship God you know the way you do things so you know why do you judge and why do you show contempt because ultimately you know whatever we do we are doing it for God okay and God is the one who would judge us okay and each one is we would each one is going to give an account of the things the deeds the way that we have lived our lives our attitudes our motives we are going to give an account to God ourselves okay so he says you know don't judge and don't show contempt now in the traditional context you know there are certain kinds of clothes that we need to wear to church you know in some churches I've observed it's okay for us to go which in shorts and you know in jeans nobody would you know really kind of think that you are worldly or you know you've lost your salvation kind of thing but some of the churches that we go to we can't think of going in jeans or in shorts you know I mean that's a no-thing okay so you know we think if we go like that we think that you know the people will think that we are backslidden or we've gone away from God so it's we need to be very conscious of you know the context where we are in what we are doing even if you see people dressed like that you know don't judge them and you know also don't show contempt and important that because I come from a certain church where it's okay for us to go in jeans and t-shirt or go in shorts and worship God nobody will judge you but going to another place where this is a big no you know I can't expect people to understand me and you know to know which church I come from and all of those things because they're going to think that the church I come from is not a spiritual church it's a worldly church you know where the word of God is not taught and I'm giving them a wrong impression so you know important for us to adhere to culture and to the context we are in so that we are not a stumbling block to others okay don't judge let each one be persuaded in their own mind which means each one whatever they're doing is they're doing it as unto the Lord and each one of us are going to give an account of what we're doing to God so this should be our whole perspective okay our whole perspective is don't judge because God is a judge and ultimately we are going to give an account to him and in verse 13 he says you know don't be a stumbling block to others how you express your faith should not become a stumbling block to others and then he goes on to talk about how we need to be convinced about what we are doing you know in our own cells and when we are convinced about certain things we need to also be mindful that you know when we do things in the open if another brother looks at us you know it's going to be grieved or heartbroken or they are going to lose their faith or they are going to walk away from God or it's going to be a hindrance for them you know then don't do it if you go back home and you want to eat certain kind of food and meat and all of those things you can do it but you know just because it's going to be a stumbling block to someone else I will not do it for example you know if I go to certain churches and I have to cover their head then you know I do that but if I come to my church and that's not a requisite I don't cover my head I can pray like that I can preach without covering my head or when I go home back home after I preach in this church where I cover my head and I go and pray I read the Bible I don't have to cover my head and I don't have to cover my head and pray or read the word I know God is going to listen to me irrespective of that and I'm convinced about that hey I don't have to cover my head but when I am in a certain situation that requires of me I do that so that I'm not a stumbling block as it is for people in the north part of our country and certain parts in South India where they find it difficult for a woman first of all in a place as a pastor as a preacher to accept us how much more we need to be cognizant of the fact that whatever I'm doing the way I dress the way I conduct my life people are watching me and I need to be very careful so that the truth that I want to share with them the Holy Spirit has laid upon my heart that's not become a stumbling block for them or a mental block for them to receive and they are able to receive it and they are able to be willing for the move of God to work in their lives in the Holy Spirit to work and to receive what the Holy Spirit is you know releasing even as I minister so that is what he is mentioning in verses 1 to verse 13 let's look at verses 14 till verse 23 so can somebody read Romans 14 verses 14 to 23 please anyone reads is there any question on verses 1 to 14 anything you all want to make a comment on anything that you all want to say okay there's no comments if there's nothing you all want to ask there's no question can somebody please read verses 14 to verse 23 please verse 14 oh yeah please go ahead I know and I'm convinced by the law Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself but to him who considers anything to be unclean to him it is unclean yet if your brothers believed because of your food you are no longer walking in love do not destroy do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil for the kingdom of God is not is not eating and drinking but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit for he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food all things indeed are pure but it is evil for the man who eats with offense it is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak do you have faith have it to yourself before God happy is he who does not condemn himself and what he approves but he who doubts is condemned because he does not eat from faith for whatever is not from faith is sin amen thank you Rosalind so in these verses Paul is talking specifically about eating meat and drinking wine so in essence what Paul is saying is when you are in Christ you are free to eat what you want so if you just have to paraphrase what Paul is saying he is saying hey I want to be careful that I don't grieve my brother because of food if what I am doing is an offense this is he talking about in verse 20 if what I am doing is an offense to another or what I am doing is an offense to a weaker brother somebody who is weak in their faith which means someone who does not understand the freedom we have in Christ to eat certain food then I will be careful because I don't want to grieve my brother so this is paraphrasing what Paul is saying so he is saying we have the freedom in Christ we are free to eat what we want but Paul is saying I will be careful I don't want to grieve my brother I don't want to become an offense to a weaker brother someone who is weak in their faith someone who is not able to understand this freedom that we have in Christ Jesus that we can eat certain kind of food then I will be careful and I will not grieve my brother she says what is the offense the weaker brother does not understand the freedom that we have in Christ basically this is not right this shouldn't be happening this is what he thinks but for me or for Paul he is saying we have this freedom to eat whatever we want so we enjoy that freedom but for weaker brother this is not right so in front of him I will not do it so if what I am doing is going to weaken his faith in Christ then Paul says I won't eat or drink that so that I won't become a stumbling block to his faith verse 21 where he says it's good to eat or drink wine or do anything by which your brother stumbles or offended or is made weak and it's okay Paul saying even if I don't eat certain kind of food in front of my other brothers and sisters in Christ it's okay I don't want to destroy the work of God for the sake of food and he says all things indeed are pure which means we are allowed to eat anything and everything but it's evil for a man who eats without offence offence means like I said the weaker brother does not understand his freedom in Christ for him this is not right it should not be happening so Paul says I have freedom in Christ and my freedom in Christ is the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking or the clothes you wear or the certain kind of rituals or the certain days you observe festivals that you do but the kingdom of God is all about righteousness peace and joy in the holy spirit which is the bigger and the more important things okay so he says I have the freedom but if I exercise my freedom it's going to cause a new believer to be either offended or be weakened in their faith in Christ then I won't do it in that context okay and also look at what he says in in verse 19 therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another so the whole thought or the whole idea about why God is even asking us to preach and teach or to flow in the gifts of the spirit in the church in the context of the church is for edification okay we also saw this in the 5 ministry offices it is for the edification of the body of Christ okay so everything that we do what we preach how we live our lives you know what we say even when we are serving people flowing in the anointing flowing in the gifts of the spirit should all be for the edification of the body of Christ at the church of God the believers the saints can be edified can be built can be strengthened equipped in their faith in their spiritual work in their understanding about who God is and also verse 19 another very important thing that he says is let us pursue all of these things pursue means what what do you think is pursue let us run behind keep at it persevere endure with these important things these truths and how we live how we relate how we fellowship with another make sure that you know you have peace peace is very very important what is the outcome of peace what is the outcome of peace when you have peace with people peace in the body of Christ what is the outcome edification okay there is unity and oneness right only when there is unity and oneness there is peace so important for us to have peace so if you look at the various scripture passages they talk about pursue peace as long as it's possible with you maintain peace pursue peace so all we need to do is pursue peace why because for God it's not about not just about how well we preach how many ministries we build how many books we wrote and how many sermons we preach it's about doing as well and also about maintaining that peace that unity and oneness and that is what even Jesus in his high priestly prayer in John chapter 17 says Father let them be one as we are one so for God that is unity so important there is that perfect unity in that trinity even though the father son and the holy split three distinct persons with distinct roles and responsibilities but yet just so one and that is what the desire of us so even as we are in the process of building God's kingdom as kingdom builders we are part of God's kingdom it's important for us to pursue peace in any and everything even though sometimes it's giving up our own our right sometimes giving up our own stance whatever it is to say God I'm doing it so that you know I want to see your peace and maintain peace and unity on oneness in the fellowship in the body of Christ and that is what God is looking for and his heart is pleased with and so in verses 22 and 23 he's saying if you are happy with what you are eating and drinking how you are living your life, what you wear days you observe and all of those things it's good continue just doing that between you and God if you don't feel condemned it's okay but if you feel condemned then you know you're not eating from faith and whatever you do which is not based on faith is still so you know when you condemn yourself and you feel condemned you know that you know you are you're feeling guilty about something wrong that you are doing then you're basically knowing that you're doing something that is not according to the faith that you're sinning so he says you know be happy with what you have decided for yourself and if it is right in God's sight go ahead and do it and don't condemn yourselves in what you have decided to do because between you and God but if you condemn yourself and you think you're condemning yourself then be careful because that is not from faith and that is sin okay so very simple chapter just basically two things about judging others and also not being a stumbling block which are two important things which we kind of two important aspects we kind of overlook we miss out you know and we can be so judgmental and critical about various people and we can because of that we have destroyed people's lives their character their ministry because and their whole calling because of the things that we have spoken because of our judgmental attitudes and our criticisms and also sometimes we have been our lives have been a stumbling block to others so important that we check ourselves we ask the grace of God in these areas pray about these areas between things that are a stumbling block to others we need to set our lives right ask the Holy Spirit to lay his finger on those areas and if we are judging others you know be mindful you know be sensitive and ask the Holy Spirit to help us in this area as well any questions and thoughts before we move to chapter 15 we just have two more chapters for the book of Romans any questions okay no questions then we move on to chapter 15 the first half of Romans chapter 15 Paul is teaching us how he continues the same topic or the same theme of how to bear with those who are weak and then you know he shares about his ministry and plans as he begins to you know wrap up his letter and what he's writing to the church at role okay so we'll read Romans chapter 15 verses 1 to 13 one of you read 6 verses and someone else can read 7 verses please so one of you can read Romans chapter 1 to 16 and someone else can read from 7 to 13 Romans chapter 15 verses 1 to 6 bearing others burdens we then who are strong or to bear with the struggles of the weak and not to please ourselves let each of us please his neighbor for his good and he's teaching to edification for even Christ did not please himself but as it is written the reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me for whatever things were written before were written for our learning that we through the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be guided toward one another according to Christ Jesus that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ in me thank you Rosalind can someone else read from verses 7 to 13 I think your doggy also likes to read is that your doggy Rosalind yes ma'am sorry about that no no no so sweet to hear his voice he is also very excited to read thank you okay verses 6 to 13 someone else can read 7 to 13 sorry should I read ma'am yes continue Rosalind verse 7 therefore receive one another just as Christ also received us to the glory of God now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God to confirm the promises made to the fathers and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy as it is written for this reason I will confess to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name and again he says rejoice O Gentiles with his people and again praise the Lord all you Gentiles Lord him all you peoples and again Isaiah says there shall be a root of Jesse and he who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles in him the Gentiles shall hope now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit should I continue miss your muted should I continue sorry you read till 13 right yes that's enough thank you Rosalind so in Roman chapter 15 Paul continues to remind us of how to basically be thoughtful sensitive mindful and respective towards other believers so he is talking about that in the first few verses 15 verses in this chapter and he says to those who are strong in the faith what does he say what does he say to those who are strong in the faith verse 1 they need to bear with troubles of the weak and not to please themselves and what does he say verse 2 he says we need to please our neighbor for his good leading to his edification so here basically Paul is saying that those who are strong in their faith they need to bear with the weaknesses of the weak so the weak here are basically those who are weak in their faith or also those who have been in the faith and they are still growing in their faith he says you ought to bear in verse 1 which means don't do things just to please your faith but also do things to build up those who are weak in their faith so two things please our faith but also do things to build up those who are weak in their faith and the idea here isn't really bearing with because he says bearing with the idea is not really bearing with but it's more bearing up it's bearing up with a weaker brother bearing up means basically supporting him supporting him with your you know with your superior strength with your superior faith with your spiritual maturity your growth your walk with God which is strong you know just supporting them bearing up supporting them so this is what we need to keep in mind when we relate to others that we bear with people who are new in their faith growing in their faith and gently and lovingly tell them from the word what they need to do and how they need to live how they pray and how God wants us to live our lives okay yes they might be doing things in a certain way but you know gently and lovingly you know because we learn that the goodness of God leads to repentance so when we teach and teach and tell them we need to not do it in a judgmental condemning way on a way that we're preaching down on them but we do that in a way that you know with love with gentleness with patience we also learn that you know that God is patient and long suffering not wanting anyone to perish okay we talked about that in Romans so here you know he's saying that we need to be supportive we need to bear and gently and loving you know because the goodness of God leads to repentance so you know when we admonish them and teach them in a loving gentle way you know it's the goodness of God that will lead them to change so we need to gently and lovingly show them from word God's word what they need to do pray how God wants us to live our lives okay and verse 2 he says you know let each of us please his neighbor for his good leading to edification please the Greek word please here means to be agreeable okay and the Greek word for edification means we all know is to be built up as in an architecture or a building up of a structure okay so verse 2 is sounds very simple but it's not very easy right that each of us please his neighbor for his good leading to edification something very difficult for us to do things that pleases our neighbor especially when we are not getting along with them they are irritating us we can't you know go along with them but here it says you know it's challenging to simply put our neighbor first okay but you know Paul wrote about this in his letters Philippians chapter 2 verses 3 to 4 3 and 4 he says let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit but in loneliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself let each of you look not only to your own interest but also to the interest of others okay so let's not do anything out of selfish ambition you know esteem others better than ourselves and each of us look not only for our own interest but also for the interest of others okay it's difficult but Paul is saying we can do this remember going back to what he talks about in Romans chapter 8 that you know we can live a life away from sin you know not giving into the deeds of the flesh when we live according to the spirit when we gratify the things of the spirit he says when we do this it leads to edification which means you know all too often we as Christians find it easy to tear each other down bring each other down instead of building others up and this is basically how Satan operates okay this is his strategy this is something that he does his strategy is to tear down pull us his strategy is to steal kill and destroy so you know we are called as kingdom builders we are called to build so you know
