Love In Disagreement

Jun 21, 2026    Tony Stephens

How should Christians handle disagreements within the church?

In Romans 14, the Apostle Paul addresses one of the most practical challenges believers face: how to maintain unity when sincere Christians hold different convictions on non-essential issues.


While the gospel is worth standing firm upon, not every disagreement is a gospel disagreement. Paul teaches us how to hold our convictions without becoming condemning, how to pursue truth without sacrificing love, and how to make Christ more important than our preferences.

In a world that divides over everything, the church should be different.


In this message, we'll discover how to:

Welcome one another without judgment

Prioritize God's purposes over personal preferences

Pursue peace through sacrificial love

Build up fellow believers instead of tearing them down


Romans 14 reminds us that unity is not uniformity. We can disagree on secondary matters while remaining deeply committed to one another because Christ has welcomed us by grace.

Main Idea

We can disagree on non-essential issues but still love each other deeply as we pursue unity in Christ, reflecting His grace in our relationships.
