Part 58 | The Higher Obligation

The focus of this lesson is on the way that Paul agreed to prove things to the Jewish community, that he didn’t need to prove, in order to address concerns and offense. The goal of this lesson is to help people understand that our freedom in Christ is a gift that enables us to meet people wherever they are, share their burdens, and even conform to their boundaries in order to build bridges and foster unity. Just as Jesus did not hold on to His own rights, our liberty is a gift that we are called to willfully lay down in service to others. If we do this, we will see God build a community with us that is strong and fosters growth and freedom in others.
