   • Doing what comes naturally!

2. Don't do what comes naturally (15^1-2)

   • Bear with others' failings by joining them
   • Pleasing yourself by not pleasing yourself
   • Pleasing your neighbour without becoming a man-pleaser

3. Why shouldn't I? (15^3-7)

   • Because Christ didn't
   • Because everything in the Bible encourages you not to
   • Because God is with you
   • Because Christ accepted you

4. What's the point? (15^2-7)

   • The church is edified - more than maintenance-mode
   • The church is unified - more than a mere appearance of unity
   • God is glorified - more than lip-service

5. Who's important around here? (15^7-12)

   • The Jews are important
   • The Gentiles are important
   • Everyone is important
   • You are important
