As he closes Romans 15, Paul says some encouraging things to the church.

In light of all the mercy God has shown us, we are called to present ourselves to Him as living sacrifices. And one of the clearest ways that sacrifice shows up is in how we treat one another. Romans 14 and 15 take that theology and put it into practice: laying down self, bearing with one another, and learning to live together in a way that glorifies God.

In Romans chapter 14, Paul shows us what that love looks like when Christians disagree. He addresses those issues of opinion and conscience that can so easily become sources of division.

Paul admonishes the church to love one another and love their neighbor.

Charlie Campbell walks us through ten upcoming events that the Bible has foretold.

Here, the Apostle addresses believers’ relationship to government and their responsibility to pay taxes.

Peter and the disciples have returned to fishing but have no fish. Jesus reminds them of His calling upon their lives.

Romans 12:9–21 shows how sincere Christian love is lived out within the church and extended even to those who mistreat us.

Romans 12:3–8 shows us that one of the primary ways we present ourselves to God is by serving the body of Christ. In this teaching, we look at humility, sound judgment, and the seven gifts Paul lists—prophecy, service, teaching, exhortation, giving, leading, and mercy. These gifts are not achievements to boast about; they are expressions of God’s grace. We respond to His mercy by faithfully using what He has given us for the good of His people and the glory of His name.

Paul now begins to describe how believers should respond to everything he has presented in the previous 11 chapters.
