Romans: Rooted in Jesus - One Church

One of my favorite movies is Mel Gibson’s We Were Soldiers. It’s a tribute to the men who served in the 7th Cavalry in Vietnam. At the end of the movie, Mel stands before the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. before the panel of men who died from the 7th Cav. In addition the names of the men who served are listed, those who died and those who survived. Each of these names are significant and tell a unique story.

In our text Sunday, the Apostle Paul, by his secretary Tertius, concludes the letter to the Romans by listing names of people who are partners in ministry. Why does Paul do this? What is he communicating through this list? What story do their names tell?  Join us Sunday as we rejoice in the history of people who have served and influenced the church and the One who called and filled them with His Spirit.
