Romans 16 – What Does God Want You to do?

 

We are prone to honor Paul and forget the many ordinary people who helped make his ministry possible. Paul was the human author of the epistle to the Romans, but Tertius wrote it down. Gaius gave Paul a place to live and work, and Phoebe carried the completed letter to Rome. Nobody in God’s family is unimportant to Him, and no ministry is insignificant. Find the work God wants you to do and faithfully do it.

The important thing is that we are obedient to the Lord and lead others into “obedience to the faith”. The God of patience and comfort, the God of hope, and the God of peace will establish you and enable you.

 

 

An Introduction to I Corinthians:

Corinth was the most important city of ancient Greece, famous for its commercial prosperity and noted mostly for its immorality. There were many temptations for the church at Corinth from the pagan culture surrounding them. The church also struggled with internal conflict. Paul begins his letter to the Corinthians with stern warnings against sin. Unlike the Theological book of Romans, I Corinthians addresses more practical matters such as church unity, humility, church discipline, marriage, divorce, remarriage, singleness, temptation, modesty, love, spiritual gifts, and worship. Though Paul starts out harshly, he ends the letter with words of wisdom, grace, and hope. This letter is to remind us that instant spirituality is a myth, and that discipleship is a long arduous process of pursuing holiness in the midst of a polluted society.
