Date of Sermon: August 28,2022
Main Idea: We should bear with, build up others and be like Christ Key Verse: “for Christ did not please Himself…” Romans 15:3a Bible reading: 1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
