Pursue Peace With All Men
This Sunday we will cover only half of a verse as we speak of biblical principles for peacemaking from Hebrews 12:14. Biblical principles of peacemaking have a theological foundation. Because we have peace with God through Christ (Romans 5:1) and Christ has come to make peace among His people (Eph. 2:11ff), we can be at peace with others.

Divine Discipline
Today we will consider God’s Fatherly discipline of his children. The Christian’s troubles are never punitive because our Lord Jesus has already been punished in our place. Our hardships are, however, corrective and instructional. While our trials are unpleasant at the time, they produce valuable spiritual fruit.

Satisfaction for the Thirsty
Spurgeon called Isaiah 55 a chapter of gospel invitation. He preached from this passage at least eighteen times.
Isaiah 55 pleads with the lost to abandon their worthless idols. The Lord offers abundant pardon and rich kingdom blessings to those who turn to Him.
Isaiah 55 also speaks to believers who sometimes waste their time and money seeking to find joy and satisfaction in worldly things instead of finding their fulfillment in Christ.
Isaiah 55 also points to Christ who offers Himself as our spiritual food and drink.
Liberty and Love
Are you strong?
Last week Paul began his discussion of the issues over which Christians differ by encouraging all of us to accept one another without judging in these difficult matters.
In this week’s text Paul focuses upon those who consider themselves strong - because they believe they have liberty to do things in which the weak cannot participate without violating his conscience.
Rather than looking down on the weak, the strong should forego the use of his freedom for the sake of those who don’t enjoy the same sense of freedom.
In so doing he is living out the gospel by imitating Christ who gave up His rights for us.
