Sermon B-Sides - E148 - Christian Liberty & Disputable Matters - Romans 14

What do you do when Christians in the same church disagree on secondary issues like food, drink, holy days, or personal convictions? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 14 — exploring the weaker and stronger brother, the call to welcome without quarreling, and why we must be fully convinced in our own minds while refusing to despise or judge one another.
They discuss real pastoral wisdom on alcohol, Christian liberty, avoiding the “tyranny of the weaker brother,” and how gospel unity holds the church together even when convictions differ on non-essential matters.

We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.
