Discussion or Debate

First of all I updated the attendance information:
http://soulcare-disciplemaking.blogspot.com/2016/01/how-to-record-your-attendance-on-arena.html

Second, I have contacted a couple of you about getting together for breakfast or lunch soon to talk about the year.  Please let me know if there is a time or day that works best for you. 

Thirdly,  if you and/or your Soul Care group are able to serve the meal at Mosaic Ministries on Saturday, May 6, let Pastor Paul know.

Finally, here are some helps for Soul Care this week.  I may add more to this throughout the week.  I will italicize any additions.


Here are a couple of quotes that you can use as talking points.  I have grouped them under the three words in the first question

Weak

"The 'weak' are not sinful in this context... They aren't wrong for being weak."

"Both the strong and the weak take their view very seriously - they are very spiritual about it."

Do or don't do what for the glory of God.

Strong

Do or don't do what for the glory of God.

Welcome

"The goal is not for everyone to think about everything the same way you do."

"The goal of progressive sanctification is not others being conformed into your image but being conformed to the image of Christ.

I may add more to this later.

Read Romans 14:1—4.

From the passage & sermon, discuss the following words & what they look like in a God-glorifying, disciple-making church:

Weak                                             Strong                                          Welcome
