What an amazing journey it has been to walk through Romans with you all in 2018! This Sunday we will finish our study by looking at Romans 16, where we will explore what “Christian Friendship” is all about. 

As you read over the chapter, which contains the names of at least thirty people, consider the following: 

• What kinds of diversity do you see?
• What expressions of love?
• What binds them together? 

People often skip over this chapter, probably because it contains so many names. But if we do that we will miss gold. This is an incredibly rich chapter, and it highlights the beauty of the body of Christ. I’m looking forward to mining some gold with you this Sunday. 

By His Grace, For His Glory, To The Nations,
