As we close-out the series on Romans 14 this week, we will be reminded the Kingdom of God is Righteousness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17).

Paul exhorts the weak and strong in faith to "pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding" (Rom. 14:19).

This section of Paul's letter can be summarized as follows:

The kingdom of God is not food and drink. It is righteousness, peace, and joy which come by the powerful working of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Don't flaunt your freedom.

Love your brothers and sisters. And do it not in your own strength, but in the Holy Spirit.

This is the kingdom of God alive and active in the Foothills community!

One of freedoms we have as Americans is to attend the church of our choice. I hope you will exercise your freedom to join our church family at 11 a.m. this Sabbath Saturday.

We offer free childcare during the service, so bring the family and join us on Saturday!
