Paul has one more bit of admonition for the Romans: avoid those who would teach anything contrary to the Gospel!

Paul commends Phoebe to - and greets various people in - the church of Rome.

Paul explains his travel plans to the Romans, asking them to both support his missionary plans in Spain as well as to strive together in prayer for him.

Paul's ministry focus shows us the heart of God and directs the decisions we make in life.

The work of Christ proves our faith in His trustworthy Word, provides mercy for the outcast sinner, and produces hope in all who trust in the Gospel!

The strong are to bear with the weak and follow Christ's example, bringing God glory through our united fellowship.

How do we pursue peace in the church when we disagree with our brothers and sisters in Christ on secondary issues? Romans 14:13-23 answers all those questions.

As Christians, we are all servants of Jesus who will stand before one righteous Judge. Thus, our perspective needs to shift from judging one another to serving and welcoming one another as fellow servants of the Lord.

Some significant marks of maturity include the denial of self, a loving deference & preference of others, the mortification of sin, and a deep abiding in Christ.

Christians are to submit to God-ordained authority and seek to do good as dual citizens of Heaven & Earth.

Love is not a mark of the church - it is the mark. We are a community that has been shaped by God's grace, and that grace enables us to put others first as we pursue Christ together.

God's gospel humbles us, His grace unites us, and His gifts enable us to serve His body, the church.

In light of God's greatness, we offer our bodies, separate from this world, and embody God's will as worshipers.

In light of the grandeur of the Gospel that Paul outlines from Romans 1:18-11:32, the apostle now stands in awe of God's nature and ways in this poetic benediction of God's holiness and glory.

God has always been at work among Israel & the nations to gather for Himself a people to ascribe Him glory. His mercy exceeds our disobedience, whether we are Jew or Gentile!

In God's gracious choice, Gentiles have been grafted in to the beautiful olive tree of God's people. However, we are warned not to become arrogant and prideful towards Jews. All Christians are spiritual descendants of Abraham, and we must continue to follow in his footsteps, in the roof of faith alone! Pastor Micah teaches on Romans 11:13-24 at Shoreline!

God has consistently extended access of the Gospel to the Jews, who have had rejected it. Today the task of providing Gospel access to every tribe, nation, and tongue remains unfinished - thus we must pray, send, and go.

Pastor Micah teaches on Romans 9:25-33. In this section of scripture, we see God’s mercy through rejection and God’s path to righteousness.

Even under the mercy of God's sovereignty, we must both understand the Gospel as well as receive and confess the Gospel. Pastor Pilgrim teaches on Romans 10.
