    202: 16-11-2025 Romans (Part 91) The Quiet Revolution: How Ordinary People Changed The World
    Nov 15 2025

    Romans 16:1–16 may look like a simple list of names, but behind each greeting is a story of faith, courage, and quiet endurance. In this message, “The Quiet Revolution: How Ordinary People Changed the World,” we explore how God used overlooked believers — slaves, mothers, workers, and house-church hosts — to launch a revolution of grace that transformed the Roman Empire. From Phoebe and Priscilla to Blandina and Perpetua, we see that God delights to use faithful, forgotten people to change the world. And He continues His work through us today, through ordinary acts of Spirit-filled love that may be forgotten by history but are remembered by God. Romans 16:1-16

    201: 09-11-2025 Romans (Part 90) Pauls plans, Prayers & Gods Reply
    Nov 8 2025
    Paul’s closing section in Romans 15:22–33 reveals both his deep strategic vision and his humble submission to God’s providence. He longed to complete the Gentile churches’ offering for the poor in Jerusalem (vv. 25–28), visit the believers in Rome for mutual encouragement (v. 24), and then launch a new gospel frontier into Spain. These were not self-serving dreams but holy ambitions born from love and mission. Yet even as he planned, Paul acknowledged that he had been “hindered many times from coming to you” (v. 22), sensing that his timing was uncertain and his route precarious. He invited the Roman Christians to share his burden in prayer—asking for deliverance from unbelievers in Judea (v. 31), for the Jerusalem believers to accept the Gentile gift, and that, “by the will of God,” he might reach Rome joyfully (v. 32). His posture models how planning and prayer belong together: godly vision formed under the greater sovereignty of God (cf. James 4:13–15). The Book of Acts later shows how those prayers were answered—but in a radically different way. Paul was indeed protected, but through arrest (Acts 21:30–33); he did reach Rome, but as a prisoner after storms, trials, and shipwrecks (Acts 27–28). And yet from that confinement came extraordinary fruit: the gospel entered the empire’s heart (Acts 28:30–31), guards and officials heard of Christ (Philippians 1:12–13), believers grew bolder (Philippians 1:14), and four “prison epistles” were written (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon). Paul’s delays and detours became God’s better answer—proof that divine purposes are not thwarted by human obstacles. So too for us: we keep praying when routes change, we refuse to mistake hindrance for defeat, and we entrust the how to God who still answers in His way—for His mission, His people, and our joy (Romans 15:33).
