Churches in the New Testament are much like our modern churches. Members have both joys and sorrows. The churches are most of the time doctrinally sound, but sometimes get things wrong. Sometimes people don’t get along with one another. Other times, people are willing to die for one another. One thing that all churches have in common is that our communities are rooted and grounded in Jesus. In fact, our main sense of unity is that each of us has been saved by Jesus. Each of us is sustained by Jesus. All of us look to Jesus for strength, guidance, and wisdom. When churches are operating in health, this community in Jesus becomes much like Jesus - loving, caring, kind, forgiving, and serving.

This week in our Romans series we begin the final chapter. The Apostle Paul greets many people in Rome. We are instructed in how Christians love and work together in Jesus. Let us join together in worship this Sunday as the early Roman church joined together. In unity, as a community in Jesus. We will sing, pray, read & hear God’s word preach, take communion, and join one another in a fellowship meal. May God bless our community rooted and grounded in Jesus!

“Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.’” - Romans 16:16
