Romans 14:1-12

• Consider Jesus’ teaching on judgment through this video.

• Look up “judge” and “condemn” in a dictionary. How are they similar? How are they different? What role do both words have in what Paul is addressing?

• These verses urge us not to quarrel over opinions. Has a difference in opinion damaged one of your relationships? How can you restore fellowship with that person this week?

• What does it look like to follow your conscience without condemning others? How might you share your views with other believers in a loving, gracious way?

• Discuss “negotiable” areas in your life. How can the questions John shared bring clarity in following your conscience?

• One day we will all give an account to the all-knowing Judge of history. How does knowing this help you treat others with mercy and love today?

• Explore Romans 14:13-23 together to prepare for next week’s sermon.
