Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Join Pastor Robert in part 2 of “How Mature Faith Handles Disagreements Without Division,” as he dives deep into Romans 14:1-14. In this sermon, Pastor Robert explores how early Christians in Rome navigated cultural and personal differences, particularly between Jews and Gentiles, to maintain unity in the church despite disagreements over “doubtful things” like dietary practices and worship days.

Discover how the principles of love, grace, and humility outlined by the Apostle Paul can guide us today in resolving conflicts without causing division. From the historical context of the early church to practical applications for modern believers, this message unpacks the importance of prioritizing love over legalism and freedom, ensuring we don't stumble our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Key Topics:
1. Understanding “doubtful things” and how they create tension in the church.

2. The balance between personal convictions and Christian liberty.

3. Why love and unity should take precedence over disputes about non-essential issues.

4. Practical ways to live out Romans 14 in today’s diverse church communities.

Drawing from the history of Calvary Chapel and the Jesus Revolution, Pastor Robert shares relatable stories, like the clash between hippies and traditional churchgoers in the 1960s, to illustrate how God’s grace transcends cultural divides. This sermon challenges us to live with thankfulness, avoid judgment, and pursue peace to edify one another.

Whether you’re wrestling with differing opinions in your church, seeking to grow in mature faith, or curious about how to apply biblical principles to modern disagreements, this message is for you. Don’t miss this call to walk in love, trust God as the ultimate judge, and build a stronger, unified body of Christ.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
