What do food, holy days, and personal convictions have to do with the Kingdom of God?
In this week’s episode, Pastor Jim Staley breaks down Romans 14, a chapter often misunderstood and misused to justify anything from breaking the Sabbath to dismissing dietary instructions. But what was Paul really addressing? Was he abolishing God’s commandments—or calling for maturity and unity among believers?
Join us as we explore the cultural and historical context behind Paul’s message and uncover what it truly means to “not judge one another,” while still upholding God’s standards. If you’ve ever wondered how to walk in both truth and love within the Body of Messiah, this teaching brings clarity, balance, and depth rooted in Scripture.
