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

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
