Joy & Peace in Believing

Drawing from Romans 15:1-13, this teaching calls believers to reject the world's "survival of the fittest" mindset and instead follow Christ's example of self-denial—bearing with the weak and pleasing others for their growth. As ambassadors of God's kingdom, Christians may face the same reproach Christ endured, but they lay hold of joy, peace, and hope by faith and live united so that Jews and Gentiles alike glorify God with one voice.
