STEAK AND POTATOES (Part 12) • ”Gratitude” • Barry Bandara

• This Series: This 12 week series will look at the major themes in the book of Romans. This Epistle provides the fullest explanation of the gospel in the New Testament. It pulls no punches while describing man’s condition, the cause and effect of sin, and the transformational power of the gospel.

 

• This Week: Paul begins the book of Romans with "me" and ends the book with "we". In 27 verses in chapter 16, Paul gives a shout out to 37 individuals who have greatly impacted the ministry. He does this due to his gratitude for their investment in his life and in the church at Rome. It's easy to bypass this chapter due to many names that are difficult to pronounce. However, this chapter gives great insight into a healthy church; a church God assigned people to be a part of. If God has assigned you to GracePoint Church, there is an important role to play. And God is writing down our names as we serve Him through our local church.
