Diving into Romans 15, we explore the relationship between strong and weak believers and how Christ exemplifies bearing others' burdens rather than pleasing ourselves.
• Scripture teaches that strong believers should support those who are weaker in faith
• The Old Testament remains essential for Christian growth and understanding
• Everything written in Scripture was designed to teach us and give us hope
• Christ's example shows us how to put others before ourselves
• Unity among believers is crucial despite personal differences or annoyances
• Each Christian has a unique "priestly duty" assigned by God
• Paul's missionary strategy focused on reaching places where Christ wasn't known
• We should listen during quiet time to discover our specific calling
• Paul faced real dangers in his ministry but remained committed
• Praying for safety and protection in ministry work is appropriate and biblical
We encourage you to reflect this week on what specific "priestly duty" God might be calling you to fulfill in His kingdom, and to practice intentional listening during your quiet times.
