Romans 12:9-21 Observations from the Text Paul commands a shared mindset: live in harmony (v.16) Pride is a barrier: do not be haughty… never be wise in your own sight (v.16) Harmony includes action: associate with the lowly (v.16) Relationships will be hard: repay no one evil for evil… live peaceably… never avenge (vv.17–19) The goal: overcome evil with good (v.21) Core Teaching Connection Harmony is not primarily about agreement—it is about humility. Paul ties harmony directly to: Lowering ourselves Moving toward those unlike us Refusing superiority This mindset reflects Jesus, who: Lowered Himself Moved toward the overlooked Chose love over status Harmony flows from a humble, Jesus-abiding heart.

John 13:31-38 1. Context 2. Clarity 3. Commandment 4. Copy 5. Character GOSPEL CONNECTION “We know love by this, that He (Jesus) laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1 John 3:16 “By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10 APPLICATION Identify a believer in Jesus you struggle to love. Why is he/she hard to love? What will you do this week to take a step toward loving him/her? MEMORY VERSE “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34–35

Matthew 18:18–35 Purpose: Jesus teaches that forgiveness is not about keeping score, but about being transformed by the grace we’ve received—so we extend it to others, together with Him. Core Teaching Connection: Because we’ve been forgiven an immeasurable debt, we are called to extend that same grace. And Jesus reminds us (vv.18–20): We do not do this alone—we act with Him and under His authority. • When we bind, we resist and stop the spread of sin • When we loose, we release forgiveness and freedom This is not individual spirituality—it is shared, communal authority with Jesus. Where even two or three pursue reconciliation in His name, His presence and power are at work. So Jesus is not calling us to: • keep count • manage a minimum • or separate faith from relationships He calls us to a transformed life marked by: • Humility – My debt before God is immeasurable • Integrity – Receiving grace and extending it • Community (“We over Me”) – We walk in Jesus’ authority together We don’t just believe the gospel— we live it out together through forgiveness and restored relationships.
