Romans 12:16

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.

Romans 12:14

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

Romans 12:9-13 (recap and finishing up this section)

Adam Chiappelone finished Romans 12:9-13 today.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

Thoughts from Romans 12:9…

• Is there an extreme/moderate/low form of evil that I’m tolerating?
• How can I replace it with what is good?

Romans 10:9-13

Bless the Lord, brothers! In preparation for our time in worship this morning, Mike read Psalms 133 & 134. We are reminded that unity in worship is crucial. Let us bless the Lord together in unity.

Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!
It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on the collar of his robes!
It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.

Psalm 133, ESV

Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord!
May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth!

Psalm 134, ESV

Now listen to this installment of Adam Chiappelone’s Romans series.
