Sunday Gathering - August 9th

 

Because the church’s building is still in a level 3 evacuation zone, we will not be gathering there on Sunday morning. Instead, we will gather for Sunday worship at Faith Bible Church at 1:00 pm.

 

Address: 440 W Cora Ave, Spokane, WA 99205

On August 1st, our Spokane community suffered a nearly incomprehensible disaster as fires tore through our city — including the neighborhood we love and call home, where our church building is also located.

 

To date, 6 families have suffered a complete loss of their home, property, and possessions, and nearly half of our roughly 400-member congregation has been displaced, living in temporary housing due to necessary evacuations — with friends, relatives, in hotels, or other accommodations.

 

Many people and churches have asked how they can specifically help, and we have set up a Fire Relief Fund for our church.

 

These resources will be used to care for the immediate, mid-term, and long-term needs of ITC members, and as the Lord gives opportunity, for the good and upbuilding of others in our area.

 

Although there is much tragedy, we grieve with great hope because of the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

 

If you or your church desire to help and serve our church and those we're connected to, please direct your giving to the Indian Trail Church – Fire Relief Fund.

Romans 14:13-23

November 29, 2020 Speaker: Kyle Schwahn Series: Romans

Passage: Romans 14:13–23

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION

- In Romans 14:13-23, Paul continues to address issues in the church (at the time he was writing this book) concerning the cleanness or uncleanness of foods. From Romans 14:14, what is his opinion on the matter? Read Mark 7:14-23. Why does Paul have the conviction he has? So then, why would Paul write, "it is unclean for anyone who thinks it is unclean?" What is the biblical principle here?

- If Romans 14:3-4 teaches us to not judge our brothers and sisters in matters of opinion, what kind of judgment is Romans 14:13 calling us to? In what ways can members of a church trip or hinder others in their spiritual walks? Have you seen times when peace (see Romans 14:19) was not present in church relationships? If so, how did that look? How did it make you feel?

- 1 Corinthians 8 is a similar passage to Romans 14. When we put stumbling blocks in front of our brothers and sisters' spiritual paths, who does 1 Corinthians 8:12 say we are sinning against? What does Romans 14:15 say Christ did for brothers or sisters you disagree with? How sobering are these thoughts?

- If hindering others and causing them to stumble is a sin, what are ways this is happening in our times? Is this happening in your life? If building up is the work of God, how can we be doing this in these times?
