Romans 14

April 26th 2026 • Kristopher Bate

Most church conflict isn’t about truth… it’s about preferences. Here’s what the Bible actually says about food, alcohol, and judging each other. In this message from Romans 14, we unpack one of the most misunderstood issues in the church: freedom vs conviction. Why do Christians argue over things like food, drinking, and “rules”? Who is right—the “strong” or the “weak”? And how should we actually treat one another when we disagree? This teaching explores: Why the early church was divided over food and holy days What Paul the Apostle meant by “weak” and “strong” faith Why “nothing is unclean” changes everything How love—not rules—is the foundation of Christian living How to use your freedom without harming others
