We begin Romans 15 this week. Paul continues to emphasize the importance of unity in the church. In this passage Paul gives us his prayer and vision for the church, a vision that God will surely bring about in his time. The message is entitled The God-given vision for the church. We will consider these five points:
- The obligation of the strong. (vv. 1-2)
- The example of Christ in the gospel. (v. 3)
- The way of hope. (v. 4)
- The goal. (vv. 5-6)
- The concluding exhortation. (v. 7)
