Sermon Topic: Once Apart, Now Together
Scripture: Romans 12:9-18
Speaker: Pastor Nick Brideson April 29, 2018
Scripture: Romans 12:9-18 (NASB)
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
10 Be devoted to
one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; 11
not lagging
behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12
rejoicing in hope, persevering in
tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13
contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing
hospitality.
14
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15
Rejoice with those who
rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16
Be of the same mind toward one another; do not
be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17
Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18
If
possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
