Knowledge Must Build Up
from Doctrines of Grace on SermonAudio Hosted by Clayton Huff
The sermon examines the tension between theological knowledge and Christian love, using Paul's discussion of food offered to idols in 1 Corinthians 8 as a framework. It argues that while believers possess the truth that idols are nothing and have liberty in Christ, this knowledge often leads to pride and arrogance rather than humility. The central message is that true knowledge of God should produce a desire to build up others, not to elevate oneself or disregard the conscience of weaker believers. The preacher emphasizes that Christian freedom must be governed by love, urging the congregation to exercise their rights in a way that reflects Christ's grace and serves the spiritual well-being of the church community. This pastoral instruction calls for a balance where sound doctrine is held firmly, but always expressed through kindness and consideration for others.
