Sermon Notes:

Romans 16:17-20

Main Idea: The church is to be on guard against those who cause divisions and sabotage ministry.

I. The warnings and the remedy (17)

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.

“watch out”

“avoid them”

Question: Who are these people that Paul is so concerned about?

“Those who cause divisions”

“Those who create obstacles

II. Their True Motivation (18)

For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

III. Don’t relax (19)

For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.

IV. A Final promise and prayer (20)

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Sermon Notes:

Romans 15:1-6

With Christ as our perfect example, we are to live selflessly, knowing that harmony in the church greatly glorifies God.

Question: What does selflessness look like? Let’s follow Paul’s reasoning and take note of the four timeless truths about selflessness that are revealed in our text.

I. Selflessness bears with the weaknesses of others (1)

II. Selflessness pleases our neighbor not one’s self (1-2)

III. Selflessness looks mostly like Jesus (3)

Philippians 2:3-8

IV. Selflessness unifies the church and glorifies God (5-6)
