In this powerful message from Romans 16, Pastor Chris Chadwick concludes the book of Romans by focusing on Paul's demonstration of Christian gratitude. He challenges listeners to move beyond a fleeting "thank you" to a life rich with intentional thankfulness, joy, and zeal. The sermon highlights various individuals and couples mentioned by Paul, such as Phoebe and Priscilla and Aquila, showcasing their faithfulness and sacrifice. Through these examples, Pastor Chadwick encourages the church to be a place of genuine affection and community, where every member's service, regardless of status, is valued and celebrated.
