LAST WEEK
We looked at Paul’s venture to create more unity between the two communities that were coming together in the name of Jesus
Paul did a great job of referencing old testament truths to bring value to the gentile community
The fact is that people were coming to the Lord, and those who had been close to God throughout history, needed to embrace this fresh work of God.
We also learned that God is the God of Hope
He is able to fill us with Joy & Peace in believing
That we may abound in Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
THIS WEEK
We will finish
Paul will begin to wrap up this letter
He will make somethings clear to the believers in Rome.
Romans 15:14-
PRAY
Romans 15:14-
PAUL WAS EXCITED AND ENCOURAGED IN REGARDS TO WHAT GOD WAS DOING IN ROME
NOT ONLY WHERE THEY BIBLICALLY SOUND
THEY WERE ALLOWING GOD’S SPIRIT TO MOVE IN THEIR MIDST
THEY WERE PROACTIVELY YIELDING TO THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT
BECAUSE THE SPIRIT WAS MOVING POWERFULLY
They were able to admonish one another
Instructing each other
Rebuking each other
Correcting each other
SET THEIR MINDS RIGHT
How was Paul able to do this?
Paul gives the key to this authority
They were filled with goodness
And filled with knowledge
When we teach and instruct from the right posture
We will only aid what the Spirit has been trying to accomplish in someone else’s life.
FROM THE POSTURE OF HUMILITY, GOODNESS, AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE GOSPEL
PAUL WRITES TO THEM ABOUT THE THINGS THAT NEEDED THEIR ATTENTION
Paul’s heart behind correction was from the position of Overseer
The reason he was correcting them was to cultivate growth
The reason he was instructing them was to take them deeper
To encourage a Flourishing Walk with Jesus
That their offering to the Lord would be acceptable in the sight of God
Sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Friends, the way we correct our children
The way we instruct our family members
The way we admonish one another here in church
Should always be from a place of humility
It
We must always know the “Why”
We must always know the “Reason behind our correction”
It can’t just be “Because it’s wrong”
It can’t just be “Because it is sin”
It definitely can’t be because you want to prove that you are right.
It must be deeper than that
You want to know what bad discipline looks like?
PLAY VIDEO
Throughout the Letter to the Romans, Paul has done a great job of exposing some areas of opportunity.
He did it from a place of humility
He did it with good intentions
When those two things are the posture from which you correct, boldness will be accepted and not rejected.
PAUL, BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT, WAS ABLE TO CORRECTLY POUR INTO THE ROMAN CHURCH
HE HAD REASON TO GLORY IN WHAT CHRIST WAS DOING THROUGH HIM
HE HAD REASON TO GLORY IN CHRIST IN THE WORK THAT HE HAD PUT IN
PAUL HAD BEEN IN MINISTRY FOR AT LEAST 17 YEARS
PAUL HAD STUDIED THE SCRIPTURES FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS
THEREFORE WE CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY, THAT HE WAS VERY WELL VERSED IN THE SCRIPTURES
HIS RESUME INCLUDED AND WAS NOT LIMITED TO:
YOU COULD SAY, PAUL HAD EXPERIENCED A LOT
YET HE MAINTAINED A HUMBLE POSTURE
WHEN HE DISCIPLED PEOPLE, HE STUCK TO ONE RULE:
ROMANS 15:18
AS HE SOUGHT TO POUR INTO THE GENTILE COMMUNITY
HE WAS NOT GOING TO SPEAK TO THINGS HE HAD NOT PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED
HE WAS NOT GOING TO SPEAK TO THINGS THAT HE HAD NOT LIVED OUT PERSONALLY
HE WASN’T GOING TO FORCE AN ISSUE BECAUSE OF HIS POSITION IN THE CHURCH
HE WASN’T GOING TO FORCE HIS OPINION JUST TO HAVE HIS WAY AMONG THE GENTILES.
PAUL KNEW SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF CHRISTIANS TODAY, STILL HAVEN’T GRASPED
GOD KNOWS WAY MORE THAN WE KNOW
HE KNOWS HOW TO BUILD HIS CHURCH
HE KNEW HOW TO REACH THE GENTILES
HE DID IT THROUGH SIGNS AND WONDERS BY THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE
BECAUSE PAUL WAS IN TUNE WITH WHAT GOD WANTED TO DO
HE WAS ABLE TO BE USED BY GOD
HE WAS ABLE TO GO WHERE NO ONW ELSE HAD GONE
MAKING IT HIS AIM TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD WHERE JESUS HAD NOT BEEN PREACHED.
PAUL KNEW THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO HAD NOT YET HEARD THE GOSPEL
“TO THOSE WHOM HE WAS NOT ANNOUNCED TO”
PAUL KNEW THEY WOULD SEE
“THOSE WHO HAD NOT HEARD . . .
SHALL UNDERSTAND”
PAUL BASED HIS WHOLE MINISTRY AROUND WHAT GOD HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID ABOUT PEOPLE
HE MADE IT HIS AIM TO SEE THE WORD OF GOD FULFILLED IN HIS TIMELINE
HE WANTED GOD’S WORD TO BE ALIVE AND WELL IN HIS WALK WITH JESUS
FOR PAUL, THIS WASN’T EASY
IT TOOK WORK
IT MEANT THAT HE HAD TO LABOR
ROMANS 15:22
PAUL’S MINISTRY TO THE ROMANS CAME AT A COST
HE DESIRED TO BE AMONG THEM, BUT HE HAD BEEN HINDERED
NOW, HAVING COMPLETED HIS MISSION IN THE EASTERN ROMAN EMPIRE, PAUL WAS READY TO HEAD WEST TO THE IBERIAN PENINSULA
WHY?
BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD
BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SEE IT COME ALIVE
THIS IS WHAT DROVE PAUL TO FULLFILL HIS MINISTRY
“IF GOD SAID IT, LET’S SEE IT COME TO PASS”
