Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Briefly, look at some scripture.

Be looking at the Forgotten chapter of Romans, the Forgotten chapter Romans Romans chapter number 16.

A lot of times when we think about the book of Romans, we think about maybe Romans chapter 1.

Or Paul the Apostle Paul gives us his calling to the Romans.

He talks about the gospel message and they're in Romans chapter 1, it states.

That's famous verse, where Paul says, for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.

And so a lot of times when we think about the book of Romans, we think about Romans chapter 1.

And then also their Romans chapter 1, it talks about the results of a Godless society.

When a society forgets, God, how depraved it goes as they depart from the Lord?

Only think about Romans chapter one.

We also think about Romans chapter are the book of Romans.

We think about Romans chapter 3, or talks about that.

All men are guilty before.

God, Romans 3:23 says, for all have sinned and come short of The glory of Glory of God.

So all men are guilty before God.

I want when we think about Romans, we may think about Romans chapter 5, that talks about the results of our justification.

And then, maybe we think about Romans chapter 8 and 9 where it speaks of the sovereignty of God, but we don't immediately think about Romans chapter 16, always think about the book of Romans.

And when we start reading this, you may okay.

I see why we don't necessarily think about it at the very beginning because it has a lot of difficult names to pronounce, and I'm probably going to butcher these names, but we're going to try to read through it.

But there is Great Value in Romans chapter 16.

Verse earlier.

I want to read in Romans, 16, and verse number one.

It says I can man to you see, be our sister, who is a servant of the church and Sentria that you may receive her in the Lord, in a manner, worthy of the Saints, and assist her, in whatever business.

She has need of you for indeed.

She has been a helper of many and of myself.

Also, greet, Priscilla and Aquila my fellow workers in Christ, Jesus.

Who risked their own necks for my life to who?

Not only, I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles Likewise great, the church that is in their house greet.

My beloved, a pain in his, who is the first fruits of a kaya to Christ.

Great Mary, who labored much for us, great hundred on your tacos and Junia my countrymen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles who also were in Christ before me greets and plus my beloved in the Lord great arbanas, our fellow worker in Christ and statues.

My beloved greet a pillowcase approved in Christ.

Great, those who are the household of our wrists to boost our wrists of you lost.

Great.

Herodian my countrymen greet.

Those Who are of the household of anarchists who are in the Lord?

I like this one right here in verse 12, greek.

Tryphena's.

And try Susa.

Surely.

They were a couple, you know, tryphena's and drive.

Who labored in the Lord greet, the Beloved Percy's, who labored much in the Lord, and then we can not forget Rufus Wright, and verse 13, great Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

And then it says, verse 14, great assume Treetops and Fletching her Moss petrobras, her mace and the Brethren who are with them greet 415 greet a fellow August and Julia and near use, and his sister and Olympus, and all the saints who are with them.

How does it say?

Greet them verse 16 greet one another with a holy kiss the Churches of Christ greet you.

Therefore.

Let's pray.

Our Father.

We thank you so much for 4 this evening of looking at this particular chapter and Lord.

I pray your blessings as I preach your word and teacher word.

I thought I pray that that each point.

Lord was sink deep into our hearts and Lord that you would use it For Your Glory.

Betrayal or for those who are unable to be here.

Due to various reasons.

I pray God, your blessing is upon them.

We ask all these things in Christ name.

Amen.

Again, probably the reason why the Romans chapter 16 is often the Forgotten chapters because of all of those difficult names that a pastor would would try or attempt to read aloud, but there is really great value in this chapter, of course, and is really three characteristics of the church.

That was

Yes, exactly.

Exactly.

Yeah, but Myron on that one, say, hey, whatever you do teach Rome of Romans 16.

So absolutely but there's great great value in this.

And there's great characteristics that were present in this particular church and Rome and should be present in every Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The first thing I want you to notice very quickly is the characteristic.

Number one is the church is one body in Christ.

The church is one body in Christ.

It's very interesting that you read throughout the verses that we've read in verses 3 through 16, the phrases in the Lord.

In Christ in Christ, Jesus, our chosen in Christ appear, nine times in those verses, we see that in verse three were Priscilla and Aquila my fellow workers in Christ Jesus.

Our, we see that in verse 7.

They were also in Christ before me verse 8.

In the Lord, verse 9, our fellow worker in Christ verse 10.

A pillowcase approved in price and then verse 11.

You have the household of Northeast sauce who are in the Lord verse 12.

Those who labored in the Lord.

And then also labor much in the Lord.

And then greet, Rufus.

Chosen in the Lord.

And so you have this repeated phrase in the Lord are in Christ repeated, some nine times.

And just those few versus now, what does it mean to be in Christ?

Well, I great great verse to write down and you can turn their, if you would like and Galatians chapter 3, Galatians chapter 3 and verse 26 houses.

Really what it means to be in Christ relations 326s for you all.

Are all the sons of God through faith in Christ?

Verse 27 says, for, as many of you as were baptized into Christ.

Have put on Christ.

Verse 28 says, there is neither Jew nor Greek, There is neither slave nor free male or female for.

You are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promises of God.

And so we see that when an individual turns from his or her seeing and believe in, Jesus Christ, a union then is made with Christ and the believer.

We notice here that Union with Christ, not only happens on a personal individual level.

But this Union with Christ happens on a corporate level as well.

A Romans 12:5 says, we though many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.

And so yes, though personally and do individually.

We have Union with Christ Union with the Lord.

It is also true.

Corporately speaking, as a body of the church Body of Christ.

Again, Romans 12:5 says, though.

We are many.

We are in the body of Christ, if you are in Christ and I am in Christ.

Then we are each part of one body in Christ.

Even though we may not know one another, there may be a believer.
