“Summer in Romans: Love No Matter What”Text: Romans 13:1-10As we end our summer in Romans, Paul reminds the church of the words of Jesus. The call to love our neighbor comes from the highest authority and where we can extend grace and mercy to others, we show that God is greater than any other power…

Text: Romans 12:1-13Paul tells us in Romans 12 that we are all part of one body in Christ, and that we need each other and must love one another. We are each gifted for the work of the Gospel.
Jesus asked His disciples: “But who do you say that I am?” (Matt. 16:15). The question is also put to us: Who do you say that He is? Flesh and blood do not reveal this to us, but by the ministry of the Gospel, the Father in heaven reveals His Son to us on earth, who has become flesh and suffered death for our salvation. Thus, we believe and confess that He is “the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matt. 16:16). As He died for our transgressions and was raised for our justification, He looses us from all our sins and preserves our life within His Church, against which even “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Matt. 16:18–19). His salvation is forever, and His righteousness “will never be dismayed” (Is. 51:6). He comforts us with the Gospel in His Church, so that “joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song” (Is. 51:3). Therefore, “according to the measure of faith that God has assigned” (Rom. 12:3), we also offer ourselves “as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God” (Rom. 12:1) through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Text: Romans 11:33-36Paul’s Doxology in Romans 11 quotes from both Isaiah and Job. With this context, it reminds us of the awesome majesty of God but also compels us to live in the expectation of His mercy, not judgment. We can approach our sin or the sin of others with an invitation to live faithfully…

Text: Romans 11:13-32In Romans 11, Paul speaks to those outside the Jewish faith who joined the early Church and dismisses the notion that they are superior or treated differently by God. God's character is to offer holiness, grace, and salvation to all who accept Him.
Pastor Calvin Compagner - Scripture: Romans 8:18-25 Text: Romans 8:18-25
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 15:1-13, 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
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?
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).

(Communion) I. His Consciousness of Deep Misery II. His Question Regarding Deliverance III. His Answer of Thankfulness Scripture Reading: Romans 7 Text: Romans 7:24, 25a Psalter Numbers: 43C, 107A, 71B, 73C, 116D
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.

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
