We explore the concept of stumbling blocks versus stepping stones in our faith journey, examining how our actions can either hinder or help fellow believers grow spiritually.
• Scripture foundations from Romans 14:13 and 2 Corinthians 6:3 about not placing obstacles in others' paths
• How "seniority" in church can become a stumbling block when older Christians judge newer believers
• Everyone's spiritual journey progresses at different rates - transformation doesn't happen overnight
• Small acts of kindness like giving up your seat can be significant stepping stones for newcomers
• Being sensitive to others' struggles and respecting their boundaries with addictions or past issues
• Personal testimony of turning struggles into opportunities to help others facing similar challenges
• Jesus becoming what seemed like a stumbling block on the cross to be the ultimate stepping stone to salvation
• Practical ways to be Christ's ambassadors without harsh judgment or creating obstacles
Remember that obstacles in your faith journey might be there because you have a target on your back as a Christian - learn to navigate them wisely and help others do the same.
