Text: Romans 2:25-29For more resources and information from Anthem Church, visit us at https://www.anthemcolumbia.com/

Romans 1:3 tells us that the gospel of God is "concerning His Son." Those few words take us directly to the center of the Christian faith. The gospel is not primarily about human potential, moral improvement, religious performance, or personal fulfillment. The gospel announces what God has done through His Son, Jesus Christ. In this message, Dave Jenkins explains why Jesus is the eternal Son of God, the promised Son of David, the rightful King, and the incarnate Savior who became truly man without ceasing to be truly God. Christ is not merely one part of the gospel. He is the center and substance of the gospel. The hope of sinners is found in Jesus Christ alone: the Son who came, obeyed, suffered, died, rose again, reigns, and saves all who repent and believe. Text: Romans 1:3 Series: Romans: The Gospel That Changes Everything

In Romans 15:14-33, Paul reminds Christians that we are not simply recipients of the gospel—we are ministers of the gospel. Our service to Christ is a privilege, our relationships with one another are a blessing, and our ambition should be to share the gospel in both word and deed.In this lesson, we look at Paul's example of ministry and consider what it means to:See our brothers and sisters as people filled with goodness and knowledgeAllow ourselves to be instructed by one anotherEmbrace our role as ministers of ChristDiscover how God has gifted us for serviceBoast in Christ rather than ourselvesMake the gospel our ambitionServe others through both word and deedRecognize that ministry is a lifelong callingDepend on prayer as an essential part of our servicePaul's heart for people and his passion for the gospel challenge us to ask: What has Christ accomplished through me, and how can I bring that to the world?

In Romans 15:1-13, Paul continues his teaching on Christian unity and addresses how we should respond when fellow Christians have different convictions, opinions, and consciences.Rather than pleasing ourselves or judging those who think differently, Paul calls Christians to bear with one another, build one another up, and pursue unity. The ultimate example is Jesus, who did not please Himself but willingly carried our burdens.In this lesson, we explore: What it means to “bear” with our brothers and sisters  How Christians can disagree without dividing  Why we should build one another up rather than judge  How Jesus is the ultimate example of selfless service  The role of Scripture in giving us endurance, encouragement, and hope  What it means to live together in harmony and with “one voice”  Why our unity ultimately brings glory to God  How our hope in Christ helps us endure our differences 

The Lord who “laid the foundation of the earth” (Job 38:4) is the Author and Giver of life who governs all things by His Word. His wisdom and power are beyond our understanding, except as He reveals Himself in the incarnate Word, Christ Jesus. He has “entered into the springs of the sea” and “walked in the recesses of the deep” (Job 38:16), and He draws near to us in mercy. We have been “a long way from the land, beaten by the waves” and tossed about by hostile winds (Matt. 14:24). In our mortality and sinful unbelief, we do not always recognize the Lord Jesus. But as we cry out in fear, He speaks tenderly to us, “Do not be afraid,” and He reaches out His hand to save us (Matt. 14:27, 31). “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13), and now we call upon Him in faith, because we have heard “through the word of Christ” (Rom. 10:17). “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (Rom. 10:8).

When life falls apart, the question underneath is always the same: is my faith even real? Hard seasons don't just hurt—they expose us, showing how thin our trust actually was. And it's tempting to read the struggle as proof that something's wrong with us, or with God. In this third message of our series, Unshakable: Building a Faith That Stands, Teaching Pastor Christian Nichles turns to Romans 5:3–5 and 1 Peter 1:6–7 to show that trials don't break our faith—they reveal and strengthen it, producing endurance and maturity. Text: Romans 5:3–5; 1 Peter 1:6–7 The win this week: the courage to stop praying only for the trial to end, and start trusting what God is forging in it. This is Week 3 of Unshakable, a five-week series building a faith that doesn't move—from the foundation up.

We sometimes hear (or say) that phrase "over my dead body" when someone is going to do something that someone else REALLY does not want them to do.  Whether it's because it's dangerous, or because it is not a positive or beneficial thing to their life.  As we hear Paul speak in Romans that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life, we see that that path to heaven through Jesus Christ and His dead and risen body, and the path to hell goes over Christ's dead body rejecting His death and resurrection.

In Romans 15:30-33, we encounter a powerful appeal that challenges our understanding of prayer and vulnerability within the body of Christ. The Greek word 'parakaleo' - meaning to urge, appeal, or earnestly request - frames this passage with urgency and importance. What's striking is that the Apostle Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament and planted churches throughout the known world, doesn't end this section with requests for money, recognition, or applause. Instead, he asks for something far more valuable: prayer. This reveals a profound truth about spiritual leadership and community - even the most mature believers need the prayer support of others. Paul's request isn't self-centered but gospel-centered; he asks for protection as he returns to Jerusalem (ironically, to the very place where he once persecuted Christians) so he can continue his ministry. This passage invites us to examine our own approach to prayer and community. Are we willing to be vulnerable enough to ask others to pray for us? Do we follow through when someone shares their burdens with us, or do we offer empty promises of 'I'll pray for you' without actually doing it? The call here is to become a people who genuinely bear one another's burdens, who stir up one another to love and good works, and who don't neglect meeting together for mutual encouragement. Prayer isn't meant to be a hyper-spiritual, eloquent performance - it's simply conversation with our Father, who wants to hear from us about everything, including the needs of those around us.**Sermon Notes – Romans 15:30–33 – “An Appeal to Pray”****Text:** Romans 15:30–33  > “I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf…”---### 1. The Weight of “I Appeal to You” (Parakaleō)  - Paul isn't making a casual suggestion; he's urgently calling for attention and response.  - *Parakaleō* = to urge, exhort, strongly request, comfort, encourage.  - Other places Paul “appeals”:   - Romans 12:1–2 – present your bodies as living sacrifices.   - Romans 16:17 – watch out for those who cause divisions.   - 1 Cor 4:16; 16:15; Eph 4:1; 1 Thess 4:1 – walk worthy, imitate Christ, submit to godly leaders.  - Idea: “Look at me. Listen. This really matters.”---### 2. The Specific Appeal: Pray With Me (v. 30–31)  - “Strive together with me in your prayers” – prayer is hard work, shared labor.  - Paul, the great apostle, openly asks for help. No spiritual lone rangers.  - His requests:   - Protection from unbelievers in Judea.   - That his service to Jerusalem would be acceptable.   - That he might come to Rome with joy and be refreshed.  - His prayer is gospel-centered, not comfort-centered: protection **for mission**, not just ease.---### 3. Why This Matters for the Church  **a. Appeal for Prayer**  - Normal Christian life: asking for prayer, not pretending “I'm fine.”  - Requires humility, vulnerability, transparency.**b. Encourage Those Who Ask**  - Don't just say, “I'll pray for you” and walk away.  - Listen, ask wise questions (as appropriate), pray *on the spot* when possible.  - Keep checking in: bear one another's burdens (Gal 6:2).**c. Follow Through in Prayer**  - Prayer is simple conversation with the Father, not performance.  - Use reminders, texts, calls; let people know you're praying (Phil 1:3–5).  **d. Pray for Leaders**  - Spiritual leaders (pastors, elders, parents, civil leaders) carry heavy responsibility.  - Like Paul, they need protection, wisdom, clarity, and perseverance.---## Practical Applications1. **Ask for Prayer This Week**    - Tell at least one trusted believer one real struggle and ask them to pray specifically.2. **Pray Immediately**    - When someone shares a need, stop and pray with them right then if at all possible.3. **Create a Prayer List**    - Include: family, church leaders, one hurting friend, one non-Christian, one global need.4. **Gospel-Shape Your Prayers**    - Add: “How does the gospel advance in this situation?” and pray toward that.5. **Commit to Pray for Leaders**    - Choose one leader (church, home, or civic) and pray for them daily for the next week.---## Discussion Questions1. What does Paul's repeated “I appeal to you” reveal about how seriously he takes prayer?  2. Why is it hard for you personally to admit “I'm not okay” and ask for prayer?  3. When have you actually felt “striving together” with someone in prayer? What was that like?  4. How can we as a group move beyond “I'll pray for you” to real follow-through?  5. In what ways are your prayers currently more self-centered than gospel-centered?  6. What specific things should we be praying for our church's leaders right now?

This week, Pastor Wes walks us through Romans 16:17–20 & 25–27, encouraging believers to stay grounded in the truth of God's Word and be aware of teachings that pull people away from the gospel. As we celebrated Graduate Sunday, we were reminded of the importance of building our lives on the foundation of Christ and remaining faithful in every season of life. Paul reminds the church to stand firm, remain wise in what is good, and trust that God is ultimately victorious over evil. The passage closes with a beautiful reminder that the gospel reveals God's plan to bring glory to Himself through Jesus Christ.Text: Romans 16:17–20 & 25–27 Recorded: May 17, 2026

Romans 12 presents us with a powerful framework for understanding our place in the body of Christ. After eleven chapters establishing our desperate need for salvation and God's incredible provision through Jesus, Paul shifts to the practical: how do we actually live as transformed people? The passage challenges us to move beyond merely believing in Jesus to actively stepping through the door He has opened. Many of us stand in the doorway of transformation, one foot in and one foot out, hesitant to fully commit to what God is calling us toward. This message confronts both extremes we face—thinking too highly of ourselves and our abilities, or thinking too lowly and missing what God has equipped us to do. The beautiful truth is that God has placed every piece of the puzzle needed for His church right where we are. We're not called to consume or spectate, but to discover and use the unique gifts God has given each of us. These gifts aren't for building our own platforms or glory; they're specifically designed to build up the body of Christ. When we faithfully use what God has given us—whether in teaching, serving, encouraging, or showing mercy—we participate in something far greater than ourselves. The question isn't whether God wants to use us, but whether we'll finally put our 'yes' on the table and step fully into the calling He's prepared for us.**Detailed Notes****Text: Romans 12:1–8**1. **Transformation Must Take Place (vv.1–2)**    - Paul has spent 11 chapters showing our sin, inability to save ourselves, and God's provision in Christ.    - Jesus is “the door” (John 10); salvation is stepping through that door.    - Many step into the doorway (saved) but don't fully walk into a life of surrendered obedience.    - Goal isn't perfection but *pursuit*—ongoing renewal of the mind and living as a “living sacrifice.”2. **Think Rightly About Yourself (v.3)**    - Warning against thinking *too highly* of ourselves: pride, platform-building, refusing to let others use their gifts (worship leader story).    - Warning against thinking *too lowly* of ourselves: insecurity, “I can't,” when God has in fact gifted and called us (teacher's hurtful words vs. God's call; Ashley's story).    - Healthy, “sober” judgment: honest assessment according to the faith and grace God has given.3. **Understand Your Place in the Body (vv.4–5)**    - One body, many members; not all have the same function.    - Puzzle illustration: all the pieces are in the house; churches already have what they need in their people, but many pieces aren't yet “snapped in.”    - If this is your church, God has called you to serve here; you discover gifts best by *serving*, not just by taking tests.4. **Use Your Gifts Faithfully (vv.6–8)**    - Gifts differ by grace; lists in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12–14 are not exhaustive.    - “In proportion to our faith” = stay in step with the gospel and Scripture; no new revelation that contradicts the Word.    - All gifts are for *building up the body*, not building personal platforms (1 Cor. 14:26).    - Donuts/hospitality example: refocusing time, space, and money toward relationships and mission.---**Practical Applications**1. Examine: Have I truly stepped through the door of salvation, or am I just standing in it?  2. Ask God: Where am I proud? Where am I fearful or self-doubting? Confess both.  3. Take one concrete step into serving (kids, students, greeting, groups, tech, etc.) and learn by doing.  4. Evaluate your current service: Is it for your comfort and recognition, or for Christ's glory and others' growth?  5. Commit to regular Scripture intake so your gifts stay aligned with the gospel, not trends or personalities.---**Discussion Questions**1. In what ways might you be “standing in the doorway” spiritually instead of fully stepping into obedience?  2. Do you more often struggle with pride or insecurity about your gifts? Why?  3. How have you seen different gifts working together to build up the church?  4. Where do you sense God nudging you to serve right now? What's holding you back?  5. How can your group help each other discover and faithfully use your gifts for the body's good?
