Sacrificing our Freedoms

James Rochford
Romans 14:1-15:1

Paul explains that we have a great deal of freedom in Christ, within the bounds of God's moral absolutes, though occasionally, a person may choose to restrict their freedom over matters of conscience. Even if we feel liberty to exercise our freedom in a certain area, we should restrict ourselves out of love if our actions would negatively impact someone else.

The Center: Love

The Greatest Command

Conrad Hilario
Romans 13:8-10

Paul explains that the Old Testament law can be summed up as loving God and loving others. In contrast to the many ideas of love put forth by the world, the Bible defines love as a sacrificial choice to give of oneself in every area for the good of another and this is the key to healthy relationships and true fulfillment.

Being Different

Ben Foust
1 Peter 1:13-23

Since Christians are now children of God living as "resident aliens" on earth, whose true home is heaven, Peter charges us to be different than the world around us. We should be holy and not conformed, have a reverent fear of the Lord, enjoy freedom from sin, and be generous.

The Body of Christ

Chris Hearty

Biblical Love

James Rochford
Romans 13:8-10

Paul writes that the summation of the Old Testament law is to "love your neighbor as yourself." In order to live out this biblical command we must understand what biblical love is, why we should practice it, and how. Although counter-intuitive, both the Bible and secular researchers claim that a life of sacrificially serving others is the key to fulfillment.

Love in Action

Conrad Hilario
Romans 12:9-21

Paul uses a human body as a metaphor for the interrelated and intimate community God intends for Christians to share. Within this community, we are called to actively love others by being sincere and devoted to one another, honoring others above ourselves, and showing hospitality.

Serving in the Body of Christ

James Rochford
Romans 12:6-21

Paul describes God's intention for fellowship within the Body of Christ: a close-knit group of believers sharing in each other's lives as each one exercises his God-given spiritual gifts. When Christians live this way through the power of the Holy Spirit, it creates a type of community not found elsewhere.\r\n
