Speaker: Bro. Jason Chin
Scripture: Romans 14:10-23

INTRODUCTION
- Have you ever confronted a brother or sister in Christ about taking food cleaned or uncleaned?
- What do you think? Can we as Christian take the food which is uncleaned as in Bible?

A. It’s NOT about food; hence: -
i. NOT to pass judgement (V13)
a) Food VS Pass Judgement
b) You are Right yet so Wrong!

ii. NEVER put the stumbling block (V13)
- Who place the stumbling block?
- Was it there in the first place? Not until we came along, commented on food or anything else, then we place the stumbling block there!

iii. DO NOT destroy (V15)
- Who died for your brother? Who destroyed him?
- Combined with V20, who destroyed the work of God?
- What matter most to our Lord? What is more important? Food or don’t judge; food or don’t place the stumbling block; food or don’t destroy?!

B. It’s about what pleases God
- Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit
- Whose righteousness? Yours or God’s?
- Remember how Jesus so called rebuke His loud mouth disciple Peter.

C. It’s all about LOVE
i. It’s about the Christ’s love
- The story of the prodigal son. What was the father’s concern? What was the eldest brother’s concern?
- The story of the Samaritan woman. Then the disciples came back and still concern about food!

ii. Our act of love
- The same Paul who wrote 1 Corinthian, talked about the great nothing, zeros!

CONCLUSION
- Rom 14:19, "So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding."
