Rome was the heart of the empire—2,000 miles from Jerusalem—pulsing with culture, power, and pressure. Yet Paul writes to the believers there with deep affection, reminding them they are loved by God, called as saints, and known for a faith that’s alive in the very shadow of Caesar. In this passage, we see Paul’s vision for the church: to strengthen one another, reap a spiritual harvest, and boldly proclaim the gospel to every person—Greeks and “barbarians,” wise and foolish. The message of Jesus is not just for the outsider but also for those already in the family of faith. Everyone needs the gospel, and everyone has a part in God’s mission.__The Bridge Church exists to join God in multiplying his kingdom in Wilmington and the world.For more information on The Bridge Church, please visit https://thebridgeilm.com/Next Steps: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/people/forms/302918If you feel led, give online by clicking here: https://www.thebridgeilm.com/giveSTAY CONNECTEDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebridgeilm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBridgeILMEvents Page: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events
