In Romans 14:4–23, Paul addresses the tensions in the early church over food laws and special days, reminding believers that the Kingdom of God is not about externals but about transformed hearts. The gospel shifts the focus from rules and rituals to Spirit-given realities: righteousness in Christ, peace through reconciliation, and joy in the Holy Spirit. When gratitude for God’s grace fills our hearts, we no longer divide over disputable matters but seek to build one another up.

This message, The Kingdom That Transforms Hearts, explores how righteousness is received through Christ, how peace flows from reconciliation with God into harmony with others, and how joy endures even in suffering through the Spirit’s presence. In a divided world, the church is called to live differently — marked not by external markers, but by inward transformation that overflows into unity, love, and hope. Romans 14:4-23

We are created in the image of God. Even when humanity sinned and turned away from God we still held that image. However, when Jesus Christ, the Son of God came and humbled himself by taking on the image of man, humanity got to see what being the Imago Dei meant once again. Then when Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead, that changed everything in history! Those who put their faith in Jesus are given God's Holy Spirit to dwell in them - God's Spirit living in the Imago Dei! This gives the Christian a new reality of what it means to be created in the image of God and how we are to reflect his image to the world around us with the help of God's advocate and guide - the Holy Spirit. John 14:15-17 and Galatians 5:16-25

Mike Collins gives one of his dynamic messages Fossils: Origin, Age and Order

Too often we minimise the term Imago Dei (created in God's image) as a figurative expression, allowing incomplete human logic and explanation to override what God says about His creation. In part 1 of this mini-series, reflecting on how we are to live as the Imago Dei, we ponder on how God created us for relationships; stewardship over His creation; created to tell God's Story; and then to consider our responsibility of demonstrating this in our daily lives.
