Purifying Conscience and Worship

          1. The Jewish context
          2. What is a conscience?
          3. What does Jesus do with our conscience (Heb 9:11-14, John 8:36)

          1. First, allow our consciences to be formed by Jesus Christ and the Word.
          2. Second, be careful about binding other’s consciences’
          3. Are there external actions/activities that you think make you a better worshipper even though they are not commanded by Scripture?
