Pause for thought
Phoebe probably was acting as courier for Paul’s letter to the church in Rome, this chapter was a sort of introduction for her to Pricilla and Aquila and the other church leaders.
We can see from this chapter that the Christian church consists of individual’s from every race and background Paul commends each one for serving the Lord in what ever way He has called and equipped them 16:25-27
Some of these Christians were slaves which meant that they were limited in what they were able to do for the Lord. but the Holy Spirit was not limited! in that they became better slaves bringing glory to Christ.
Behind all the names Paul mentioned there lies a story. what would be the story behind your name if you were to be mentioned in dispatches?
We must not be taken in by smooth talk or glowing words, As we study God’s Word trusting Him to reveal the truth we will not be easily fooled and will be able to identify and keep clear of those who bring division.16:17-20
Paul ends his letter by reminding us that the only way we can remain firm is by believing his gospel. the truth about Jesus Christ.The best way for anyone to keep the truth of the gospel is to preach it 16:25
Memory verse
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Romans 16:20 N.L.T.
