I just want to say it has been so good last week and this week to to gather for me. Like I know that we can get it has been very good to get back together for worship. What I found is that many of us have been missing. I'm gathering for the relational connection Gathering to even as we discovered this morning Gary bump elbows If Not Shake Hands, right? We've been gathered for fellowship and it's like that first drink of cool water after that long time right after that Fellowship.

I'm going to the church and winter Gathering. What are they doing?

every single letter written

Is this really that's a trap for the most encouraging letter in the New Testament?

Bright Circle sure Fellowship is refreshing but it can also be challenged.

Rent-A-Center because you're a sinner and when you get a bunch of Sinners together, guess what I usually comes out. Challenging at the same time. I want to see this morning from The Book of Romans. What is the answer to How do we respond to that fat challenging and also refresh?

the foundation for our fellowship Is Christ's love? Model for us and given by us one. Another is meant to be loved undergirding and all-encompassing reality of our love for one another in Romans 13. Vs8 no one except to love each other for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not murder. You shall not steal are summed up in this world. You shall love your neighbor as yourself love does no wrong. Love is fulfilling the

Love one another Paul says overarching.

Love for one another because of the culture that live in its kind of love. This is not a feeling. This is not butterflies in my stomach when I walk through the door since you're smiling faces. That happens. Sometimes it's nerves.

Instead of love like the kind of love that said I will willingly sacrifice myself for that person or that person with that person. That's the kind of sacrifice myself for the sake of our brother.

Is why Christian Fellowship is so refreshing because that's not what we see. walk into Walmart

Love for one another was not in evidence in the toilet paper aisle.

It said it was I've got to make sure that I'm saying. Got to make sure that I'm provide to come into a group of people who are following a self-sacrificing savior. And you say you want another sacrifice.

I thought the shower when you called someone that fans not challenging to love one another that. It's so much easier to push for our own opinions push for our own desire to put ourselves ahead of others so much easier to follow.

And so that's why it is hard last challenge morning. We're going to be looking at Fellowship, but I wanted to keep in mind that love. The under group it comes from Christ given to us and we can get it.

Lord thank you for this chance to open your word to get a thank you for this chance to gather. Thank you for the technology.

We got a Bubba off as we look at your word help us to see if it's not just something that's out there. Not just something is disconnected from us good for it. Like a vitamins got this is meant to be our real expensive integrated into every single example of yourself. Would you guide us in that way?

Are hard to remember that Fellowship is based on that self-sacrificing kind of hard to keep that in mind. One another I've been reading for the last 2 and 1/2 years one book and no it's not the Bible reading that to.

But I borrowed a book from Danbury, and I put it on my shelf after I read like the first two chapters when I hold it down.

But it's got a lot of numbers in it.

Story of the Transcontinental Railroad by Steven Adams. Have you seen how flat the center part of our country is like that he had it. What was set up as is the goal was to get transferred between because they were doing everything they could to get a little bit farther than they were starting to get close to one another with the trash, but the teams were going to be coming by. Northern Utah putting tracks doing so far.

So much man hours so many men are so much money. It was kind of worried about the other guy don't work together work against each other and that to me is so emblematic of our country. That's one of the reasons why it is so hard for us to come into the church and let love for one another self-sacrificing.

It is built on self-interest no matter what. We don't just see this in our history. I see this is my personal life college right out of high school and I'll be frank with you guys. I would not pleasant person to be around the Moon.

First semester of Bible College, you know more than other Christians ever walked the face of the Earth. Charles Spurgeon the next Justin Bieber

Unfortunately, I didn't necessarily venture over those first four years alcohol alcohol commitment to the school to my Lord.

What's the number to call? I want no just some family background. We have alcoholism running on both sides of my family. So I was not motivated by Winston at this point. I was motivated very much more by well, I'm just going to have to re-buy that piece of paper you. So I heard a rag about my freedom to drink a beer with dinner. I have a family member against one of them in front of me.

We are.

And at the end of the conversation she finds it look. I'm not going to convince you. You're not going to convince me.

The whole time we've been talking all of your arguments is circled around one word.

My rights my freedom my choice. And you not once mention teeth. You not once mentioned your fella say whether or not it's okay to drink alcohol, that's from

and that effectively ended the conversation because I realized

I was so committed to my freedom so committed to this.

Living where's my way or the highway? I'm right you're wrong. And I know what the word of God.

Here's the Quan. Matters is not necessarily the conclusion. What matters is?

Leading us to interact with one another.

How tall is one issue but there's a lot to look at Romans. There is one of those issues is really trying to buy mini. of New Testament theology

I'm going to read starting in the first one don't tune out. Play the word in front of you. If you're watching on Facebook with open that I open the word in front of you and we're going to read this and as we know I want you to be tracking with me don't tune is that this is the word of God. Romans 14 verse 1 Welcome him but not over opinion one person to person.

Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of 11? It is before his wallet in his own mind. The one who is sent to give thanks to God.

Are in Christ died. Why do you pass judgment on your brother or why do you despise your brother or we will all stand before the judgement seat of God has written as I give an account of himself to God. The Rattler decide by what you do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. So do not let what you regardless.

For whatever was written in harmony with one another in a cord with Christ Jesus.

Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you for

brother sister The first thing we do is we get it out. We get it out in the open here is addressing a church, right the church in Rome. The church in Rome was in a really unique situation at this point in its history call anytime. You would take the gospel somewhere as the gospel spread. This is kind of the pattern. It would be the first ones to accept or reject the message. Why Jesus speak?

That is incorrect about it earlier than later.

I said the church was early on very tuition. But as they were living as Christ life as they were making disciples there was clearly said they were doing that Gentiles begin.

Right because of their cultural heritage.

They're in the city of Rome.

And so a lot of the Jews came back.

And now you have the situation that nobody's talking. But everybody's got an opinion. And you have the group over here that click that says don't eat the meat if you don't know what they're looking over.

You believe they would dishonor christ-like that sacrificed to idols and it's most likely because that's what happened. There are not joining us in this Freedom we have the bar anymore
