Romans 16:1-16

This sermon explores Romans 16, examining Paul's personal greetings to various believers in Rome. The passage reveals how ordinary Christians made extraordinary impacts through faithful service, hospitality, prayer, and love. The preacher emphasizes that God records and remembers every act of faithfulness—from risking one's life for the gospel to offering a bowl of soup to someone in need. The sermon challenges believers to move beyond casual Christianity and invest meaningfully in others' lives, reminding us that at the judgment seat of Christ, our faithful works will be acknowledged. The authenticity of Scripture is affirmed through the historical accuracy of the names listed, which correspond to actual people from that time period. Ultimately, the message calls believers to be known by name in their church communities and to demonstrate genuine care that will be remembered in eternity.
