Romans 16:1-27
Gospel Church
The Apostle Paul’s personal greetings to people in the church of Rome gives us a unique glimpse into the life of that first-century church. What he commends and encourages shows how the gospel can shape us as a church—especially our relationships, doctrine and worship.
Romans 15:14-33
Gospel Mission
As the Apostle Paul outlines his plans and passion for the gospel mission, he calls on the Roman church to join him in this great task. Through it we learn about the gospel mission that all believers are to be involved in. This sermon looks at the work, the ambition and the partnership we have in the gospel.
Romans 15:1-13
Gospel Unity
One of the ways God displays his glory in the world is by saving people from different backgrounds and bringing them together into a new community in Christ. Therefore, unity in the local church is of huge significance. This passage teaches the practice, the power and the plan for unity.
Romans 14:13-23
Pursuing Peace
We live in a culture that values personal rights, and exercising personal rights, even at the expense of others. The gospel creates a different community where our responsibility toward others comes before our own rights. This is the basis for a deep unity that can exist even where there is diversity.
Romans 14:1-12
When Opinions Collide
The gospel brings together people from different backgrounds, cultures and traditions. Therefore, not every believer will think the same way on every matter: e.g. views on politics, health, climate change, schooling, music—to name a few. How can we maintain unity when our opinions collide?
Romans 13:8-14
Love & Light
The resurrection of Jesus is the dawning of the age to come. His return will bring it in its fulness. Therefore, those who belong to him live in the present age, yet belong to the age to come. How does this shape the way we live in our society today? What obligations do we have to those around us?
Romans 13:1-7
The Government
In Australia it’s common to have a very cynical view of politicians and government. This can take the form of apathy and ignorance, or even out-right rebellion. But what difference does the gospel make to our relationship with governing authorities?
Romans 12:9-21
Genuine Love
The gospel is about God's love for us while we were his enemies. In response to receiving God's love, we are called to demonstrate 'genuine' love to others. This passage teaches us how to show genuine love toward those inside and outside the church, and even toward those who are against us.
Romans 12:3-8
Belonging to the Body
To belong to Christ is to belong to his body, the church. But for those who live in an individualistic, consumerist culture, this is not as intuitive as we might think. We need to let the gospel reshape our thinking about who we are, where we belong in the body, and what function we have.
