Live Outside In! - Romans 15:1-9a, 15:13
Sermon Date: December 8, 2019
Bible Reference: Romans 15:1-9a, 15:13
Most people loved the movie, “Inside Out” because it seemed to describe their inner lives. But in fact, for a Christian, there is one huge truth missing. It’s that God comes from the outside to live in our hearts and minds. That way he leads us to live outside of the emotions that normally drive us in order to love others boldly. 12.8.19.
Pastor Don Patterson
“Whatever it is, the wayWe who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a] For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b] on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing the praises of your name.”[c] ”
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
