Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Road Through Romans, we turn to Romans 14, where Paul tackles one of the most practical and challenging issues in the Christian life: how to live in unity when we disagree on nonessentials. Drawing from the famous words of Rupertus Meldenius—“In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; in all things, charity”—we explore the difference between the core doctrines of our faith and the secondary issues that too often divide believers.Paul calls us to receive all true believers, stop judging one another over disputable matters, and instead focus on honoring the Lord in all we do. Whether it’s food, worship days, or traditions, the real question is this: Are we glorifying God and giving Him thanks?Join us as we discover how Romans 14 equips the church to walk together in love, hold firm to the essentials, and give liberty in the nonessentials—so that in all things, Christ is glorified.
