Welcome to the Lansdale Life Church Podcast. If you are seeking a closer relationship with

0:20

Jesus Christ, this podcast is for you. Thank you for joining us today.

0:37

Let's open up to Romans chapter 16. We are wrapping up Romans. See? We're wrapping up

0:48

Romans. It's hard to believe, you know, we're finally at the end of this letter and it's

0:54

been, you know, it's just every time you read the word and study, you just learn more and more.

1:00

I've learned more about Romans this time than the last time. And that's just the way the Lord is.

1:07

He keeps teaching us, doesn't he, through His word. And, you know, if I had to choose a

1:15

secondary message, it would be the Kingdom Network. And you'll see why. Let's pray and ask the

1:24

Lord to move powerfully here. Lord, we thank you for your word. Your word and your spirit

1:30

accomplishes everything. And so, Lord, we ask you to use your word to do whatever work needs to

1:39

be done in our mind, in our hearts, in our spirits, in our souls, Lord. And in this family of

1:48

believers, Lord, and after we leave here, do whatever work you want to do in our lives so that

1:55

we can be that picture of you to the world. And so, Lord, I ask you, Lord, specifically,

2:02

just to give me clarity of mind and direction and that only what's necessary to be shared

2:10

and that's just in Jesus' name, amen. You know, Kingdom Network. And the reason is we're going to

2:19

see here that Paul, this is kind of like a farewell, but also we're going to be back together again

2:27

soon. And he's going to say a lot of names in this chapter, 26 names, you know, and actually

2:33

a third of them are women, which we'll talk about later. And he's going to just talk about

2:38

all these people he has met, all these relationships he has collected along the way.

2:45

While he's writing this, he's in the midst of his third missionary journey. And as he's talking to

2:51

them and remembering probably all the connections he had with them, all the experiences, just like

2:58

Jess and Jimmy actually had experiences in Albania that they'll never forget. And they've probably

3:04

made some relationships there that they will never forget. And perhaps they will reach out again,

3:10

you know, this side of heaven and talk to them again. And if not this side, eventually Jim will

3:16

meet this young man who accepted Christ and his friend and they'll be high-fiving each other and

3:22

saying, wow, that was a great time and look where it got us all, you know. And so, you

3:27

know, this kind of networking together for the Kingdom of God is so important for us to really

3:33

be part of that network. None of us does all the work on our own, right? We're part of a network

3:41

and we need communication with each other. And this is Paul writing to Rome and many of the people

3:49

that he served with throughout Asia and in Greece are now living in Rome. Probably one of the reasons

3:56

why he wants to get there too, because he misses them and he wants to see them again,

4:01

but he's connecting with them and he remembers all these people. He's communicating because he

4:07

doesn't want to lose contact with them. I mean, nowadays you can literally just

4:14

FaceTime someone in Albania or somewhere else. And as long as you get the timing, right,

4:19

that they're not sleeping, right, you can talk anytime. I mean, nowadays it's so easy to

4:24

communicate. But back then, imagine a letter that will take months to get there, okay? The difficulty

4:31

in staying in touch, but Paul realized it's important to keep that connection with people

4:37

so that we can help one another and expand the gospel, expand the Kingdom of God we need

4:43

to network and communicate. You know, communication is so important, isn't it? For anything, for

4:50

marriage communication, for relationships, for family members and for the workplace everywhere.

4:57

It's so important to be communicating and connecting so we can help one another. And especially in the

5:04

Kingdom of God, it's so important for saints to be communicating and really sharing resources

5:10

really and really sharing, participating with one another. We participate with churches even

5:18

in this town that we're like-minded with and we share the load with them if they're involved in

5:24

some things. So it's just a great time to really connect, to make connections, right?

5:31

And so Paul is writing to these people in Rome and he's telling them, look, I want to connect.

5:38

I'm going to see you again. And we have a map up here just as, again, you saw this last week,

5:46

and you'll probably get tired of these maps, but they show us a lot. So if you can recall,

5:53

Paul right now is in Corinth and he's writing to Rome and he eventually wants to get to Spain.

6:03

So he's saying, look, I'll pass through, I'll hang out with you and I'll get to Spain someday.

6:07

And so this is the, all this purple by the first century, the second century, early

6:13

second century is all the Roman Empire right here. Notice they just basically

6:19

embrace the Mediterranean here. And so he's basically connected with so much of the Roman

6:27

world, right? And they are networking again to bring the Kingdom of God. And so that's

6:34

the setting here. And let's start diving into Romans 16.

6:45

Verse one, I commend to you, Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the church in Sancria,

6:56

that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints

7:02

and assist her in whatever business she has need of you. For indeed, she has been a helper

7:11

of many and of myself also. This is impressive, because he met Phoebe in Sancria

7:21

and he's saying, when I send her to you, remember, she's going to carry this letter

7:26

of Romans to Rome. I mean, this woman had some respect. I mean, think about this. Here's a letter

7:35

that we are reading almost 2000 years later that was entrusted to this woman. Now remember,

7:41

it was back in the day. It was a man's world and still some claim it is still today. But back

7:48

then it was like women were second or third class citizens, right? And yet he was trusting

7:54

this letter to Phoebe to deliver a letter that we are still reading today. Now, I believe God's

8:01

providence, he would get it there one way or another. He would have gotten it into our hands

8:05

regardless. But he used Phoebe to do it. And so let's talk about Phoebe just briefly.

8:12

Paul met Phoebe when he was on his second missionary journey. If we could show that

8:18

next map and this green represents the second missionary journey. And so while he was in

8:29

Sancria, which is right around here, he met her and he got to know her there.

8:37

Now this place in Sancria, we have a zoomed in map of that area. And here it is.

8:46

Okay. And so she was living there and this is where he met her. And when we look at this,

8:52

this is called the Isthmus. You ever hear of that? It's like a four mile stretch of land.

8:59

And it's interesting. Ships would come and deliver their goods. And if they're small enough

9:05

they would actually put them on wheels and roll them across. And then they would sail on

9:13

from there. Did you ever hear about that? It's pretty cool. It was called the Diaclos.

9:22

I think we have a picture of it. It was like this. They put huge cobblestones.

9:30

And they've uncovered these trails. They were built in 600 BC. And so they were set there so

9:39

that they could carry these smaller ships of merchant across this piece of land on to the next

9:46

gulf and move on from there. That's kind of a lame looking one. Here's another one that's

9:51

they've uncovered, which is really wide and expansive, the Diaclos. And so this is what they

9:58

did. And I bring this up just because this was an area, this point of commerce was instrumental

10:04

in bringing goods from one place on to the next to Rome. So it was a place of commerce.

10:12

And this was where Phoebe lived. She knew business. She knew how to wheel and deal. In fact, when it

10:20

says she was a helper, the whole meaning of that is really like she was a patroness. In other

10:24

words, she knew how to get resources, distribute them. She was an administrative, very shrewd

10:33

woman. And isn't it interesting how the Lord chooses someone who is gifted in that already,

10:41

and then when she gets saved, now she knows why she has these giftings. You're the same way.

10:48

If you're handy, right, and you can make things, okay, you could build things like NVU, first

10:54

of all, okay. And I'm very bad with that, okay. I've tried some things worked out, many things

11:02

did not, okay. Too many trips to Home Depot. It wasn't worth my time anymore, right. But,

11:08

you know, if you're handy, you know, you're just a, you're good at doing things. Suddenly,

11:11

you get saved and now it takes on a whole new meaning. You still use it to make money,

11:16

but your money goes into the kingdom. You're at times you can help others with this,

11:21

with this gift of yours. All of you, you know, tax accountant Steve's helping the church in accounting.

11:28

The things you're gifted at, you've been preordained to be gifted at those things.

11:34

Now when you get saved, you come alive and realize, hey, I have the gift of music. Wow,

11:40

I know how to use it now, right. You're using it for the kingdom of God. So here is this

11:45

Phoebe that was gifted in so many ways. And when she gets saved, now she knows how to use

11:51

this gift. You know, back to Centria just for another minute, because it's interesting. That's

11:57

the only reason. But the next slide is around 1893. Do you have that slide of the, this is

12:06

the Corinth Canal. You ever hear of this place? And so in the late 1800s, they actually,

12:12

remember this was the Isthmus where they drug little boats across. Well, they finally dug it out.

12:17

Now that's a, you know, a tourist attraction and a great place of goods again to pass through.

12:24

So anyway, this was the area. And so he met her there. And, you know, when I was thinking about

12:31

this woman Phoebe, it just reminded me, we don't have time to dig into it, but Proverbs 31

12:37

versus 10 to 31 is amazing. The whole book of Proverbs ends with what a virtuous wife looks like.

12:46

Well, the reality of it, she's a virtuous woman before she became a wife.

12:50

She was gifted in so many things. When you get a chance, read that. But it's a woman who just

12:55

is never idle with her hands. She's skilled. She knows how to do things. And she's always

13:02

pursuing excellence. You know, you could say, well, I'm not into that. Well, you know, but really,

13:07

this is a virtue that all of us can attain in whatever level God has called us to be.

13:15

And so anyway, this was the kind of woman that Phoebe was. And I just want to mention

13:20

a couple of other things that, you know, Paul knew several of these kinds of ladies that

13:25

were just gifted. And what I marvel at is again, it was back in a day that women were not respected

13:33

the way they are now. And yet they were so pivotal to bringing the gospel to the known world.

13:40

Remember Lydia with the purple, you know, that Paul met Jesus. He met some women that actually

13:46

financed his ministry. One was married. Her name was Joanna. She was the wife of Herod's

13:58

administrator, King Herod. And so she financed. I don't know if I don't know if her husband

14:03

knew about it, but she did. Okay. And she financed the kingdom of God. I'm sure he did.

14:09

But so anyway, this is just truly amazing. This woman is carrying this letter to Rome.

14:16

So let's read on greet. Now, again, when he says greet, just to make it clear,

14:22

he's saying greet someone who is there in Rome. Many of the people he had done ministry with

14:29

have now moved to Rome. And the one is a couple named Aquila and Priscilla.

14:36

So he says, greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their own

14:44

necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

14:52

Likewise, greet the church that is in their house. So here Aquila and Priscilla went

14:59

back to Rome and started a church in their own house. So I just love these connections of humanity.

15:08

So Paul met Aquila and Priscilla while he was in Corinth, where he is right now. They had since

15:15

moved to Rome. So we have a picture here. Again, I think of the map. And so on his

15:21

second journey here, he met them in Corinth. And they again later moved to Rome, but he was there.

15:31

And while he was there, he met them. And we have the verse in which where he met them

15:36

in Acts chapter 18, verses two and three. And he found a certain Jew named Aquila born in Pontus,

15:44

who had recently come from Italy and his wife, Priscilla, because they were cast out by

15:51

Emperor Claudius. And he cast them all out. And he stayed with them because he was of the same trade.

15:59

He stayed with them and they were working for their trade was to make tents, tent makers.

16:06

So if you ever hear, oh, I'm a tent maker. There's so many tent makers. You're probably a tent

16:12

maker because those who are working in the outside world and also serving the kingdom of God,

16:21

that's the healthiest place to be. It really is really in, in the community, in the real world

16:28

and making your living in that and doing things in the real world. That's where you're meeting

16:33

people. That's where you're making an impact for the gospel. You know what happens when you

16:40

become just isolated in an echo chamber, in a bubble of Christianity, you're not useful anymore.

16:46

You start to become less and less useful to the outside world, right? And so it's really good

16:52

for us to be tent makers thinking, you know, I'm going to do what I do, but I'm going to do it

16:56

out in the field to meet people and actually show them what Jesus looks like while he's

17:04

swinging a hammer, okay? While he's doing taxes, okay? While he's doing whatever you do, that's

17:13

what Jesus looks like when you're doing that, right? And so that's the idea. So he hung out with them

17:19

and then from there, they, he left there with them and went to Ephesus. And I hope I'm not

17:29

worried with this, but we'll get through it. So he goes, he hops on a ship with Aquila and Priscilla

17:36

and heads to Ephesus, okay? As you know, because they're on their way back now on this second journey.

17:44

And then when they get to Ephesus, he leaves them there. We have this verse in 1818.

17:55

So Paul still remained a good while. And then he took leave and brought Priscilla and Aquila,

18:01

were with him and he had his hair cut there. He had an oath for he had taken a vow and he came

18:08

to Ephesus and he left them there in Ephesus, right? Now, what did they do in Ephesus?

18:15

They started a church in their house. In fact, we see this when Paul wrote back to Corinth

18:21

from Ephesus in 1 Corinthians 1619. He says, the churches of Asia greet you, Aquila and Priscilla

18:29

greet you heartily in the Lord with the church that is in their house. So here Aquila and Priscilla

18:37

were church planters. Now they're doing it in Rome. Then they were doing it in Athens. So you're

18:43

seeing the movement of people, but they're always doing the thing for the kingdom, right?

18:48

And so from there, Paul left them. While they were there in Athens, suddenly this guy comes along

18:58

who's very gifted at speaking. And he knows the Word of God inside and out. And he even understands

19:07

who Christ is, but he never became born again. There's a lot of people like that.

19:15

They know a lot of things. We were having a conversation about that yesterday with some friends

19:20

about how many, so many new podcasts and other things are coming out where people seem to,

19:29

are they a believer? Are they? They're almost there. And I say that because they understand

19:34

a lot, but they haven't died yet. You have to die to live, right? You can keep packing in

19:41

knowledge and knowledge and knowledge. I think you know all kinds of things, but until you die,

19:47

you're still dead. You're not alive. You have to die to live. Strange concept, but it's the gospel.

19:54

Unless you lose your life from me, you won't find it, right? And so Paulus comes along,

20:00

he's preaching everything. All of a sudden Aquila and Priscilla are kind of like watching him

20:04

and saying, I think he's missing something here. He doesn't get it yet. And so we have this

20:10

when they spoke to him in Acts chapter 18 verse 26. So he, Apollos began to speak boldly in the synagogue

20:19

and when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God

20:26

more accurately. When you hear someone and they're almost there, even though like Jimmy was

20:32

mentioned, that one kid he was talking to knew a lot, but he wasn't quite there. You know,

20:38

push them over the edge. I say that lovingly. When you know the right at the threshing floor of

20:44

understanding say, but did you ever surrender your life to Jesus? You have to just give it all. You

20:53

can know a lot, but until you die, you can't live. And they saw this in Apollos and they spoke to

21:01

him and because of their ministry, Apollos went on to be dynamic for the gospel. In fact,

21:07

Paul even said, you know, I sow seed. Okay. I'm a planter, but Apollos man, he comes along and he

21:15

waters it. He really, he brings that like connection of application because he's so gifted at that,

21:24

you know, and there was no competition. He was welcoming the follow up of Apollos behind him

21:30

to even further water the seed that he planted. That's what it's all about is about working

21:36

together for who, for the glory of Jesus Christ, right? We work together, right? We're a network,

21:44

right? And so let's read on from there. So he's saying, greet them. And then he's going to say,

21:51

next, greet my beloved Apinatus, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ. Now, so this guy

22:01

was the first one saved in Achaia. Let's just show this map up there again real quick.

22:08

So this is basically Greece. Okay. So as Paul was coming through, he met this Apinatus and he got

22:16

saved. And so he's saying, greet him because where is Apinatus now? He's up in Rome. Okay.

22:22

Greet him too. So let's read on.

22:26

Greet Mary, who labored much for us. Greet Andronicus and Junia. My countrymen and fellow prisoners

22:35

who are of note among the apostles who also were in Christ before me. Now, these next few are

22:44

probably either still slaves or just recently freed. Greet Amplius, my beloved in the Lord.

22:55

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ. And Stakus, my beloved. Greet Apelus, approved in

23:05

Christ. These were names that were actually found in the list of servants in the emperor's

23:13

empire. Okay. They actually found these names written near each other in this list. So

23:20

they were probably slaves at one time. And so there they are in the empire serving again.

23:28

And then he goes from there and he says, greet those who are of the household of

23:36

Aristobelus. Okay. Greet Herodian, my countrymen. Greet those who are of the household of

23:44

Narcissus who are in the Lord. I didn't know our Narciso was in the Bible. Is he here today?

23:49

Anyway, greet Trefina and Trefosa. They're probably sisters who have labored in the Lord.

24:01

Greet the beloved Persis who labored much in the Lord. Greet Rufus. I thought you love that

24:06

name. Rufus. Okay. Chosen in the Lord and his mother and mind. So this was a woman that he

24:13

considered his spiritual mother. Rufus was probably the son of Simon the Cyrene

24:21

who actually carried Christ's cross. You know, I always thought you saw that the passion probably,

24:27

right? Imagine like actually that connection to Christ who actually carried his cross part of

24:35

the way to the savior of mankind. I just can't imagine. Like you're carrying this holy cross

24:43

and you're seeing a holy Jesus bloodied with all the torture that he already went through

24:52

and this crown of thorns and the blood just streaming down his face. And you're probably like,

24:59

like you don't know what to make of it. I always wonder what happened to him?

25:02

Well, probably he got saved and his son Rufus did too, because now we see his name mentioned.

25:09

Was it the same Rufus? Well, I'm going with it. Anyway, chosen in now chosen the Lord. Greet.

25:17

There's so many stories behind these people. So I don't want to go too long with this, but

25:22

greet Asyncratus, Flagon, Hermes, Patrabas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

25:32

Greet Philagoras. I'm glad that's not my name. And Julia and Narius and his sister

25:38

and Olympus and all the saints who are with them. You know, these are all like he misses

25:44

these people because he served with them. He was there when they got saved. They were there

25:50

mentoring him, you know, because like he said, he met some people that were already saved.

25:55

And so from there, verse 16, greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.

26:03

You know, what's a holy kiss? We're in this culture. We're not much into kissing.

26:08

You know, I'm kind of glad, you know, we don't really kiss each other all the time. And,

26:12

you know, you know, but we hug. I love hugging, you know, sometimes it's difficult

26:18

when I hug a big guy because I'm like, you know, I'm buried in their belly with my face.

26:23

That's not the most fun thing, but no offense. I want to do it anyway, because I love you guys,

26:27

right? But like we hug, okay? And that got us in trouble sometimes around COVID. You people

26:34

keep hugging six feet. But anyway, that's another story. But like hugging, I love hugging,

26:39

you know, because like you care about the person. It's that connection, you know,

26:43

when the Middle East, of course, they kiss on either side of the face and all that.

26:46

But what's a holy kiss? And as I was contemplating this, I love Psalm 8510.

26:53

Mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed.

27:01

Isn't that a beautiful verse? And you think about, look at that wonderful, beautiful verse.

27:06

Mercy, we are people of mercy. If you're a believer, you know what mercy is, right?

27:15

You know, boldly a throne, boldly a throne, boldly approach the throne of grace where you will receive

27:25

mercy, right? And find grace. Like we know what mercy is. His mercy is new every more. I mean,

27:32

we are subjects of his mercy. You know, we need, we just embrace his mercy. And then we find the

27:41

grace, which is even getting what you don't deserve. God's riches at Christ's expense.

27:46

We are people of truth. He is the way, truth and the life. We wear that belt of truth because we

27:52

know what truth is. Jesus Christ is the truth. He's the one who holds all things together. He

28:01

is truth. Jesus Christ, the creator of all things. Without Jesus, you have nothing, right?

28:09

Apart from him. With him, you have everything you need for life. Next is righteousness. We are the

28:18

righteousness of Christ. He who knew no sin became sin on the cross so that we would become his

28:24

righteousness. We wear the breastplate of righteousness because that's who we are.

28:30

We are righteous. We are in right standing with God, even when we're not acting like it.

28:35

We're still the righteousness of Christ. We are, we know peace. You know, the prince of peace.

28:43

Behold, I give you peace. I do not give as the world gives, but I give true peace. I used to love that

28:49

shirt that said, no peace. No, wait, what was it again? But it said no peace. Now I'm forgetting it.

29:00

Okay. Yeah. No, no K and O W peace. Okay. Nope. I don't know. I just thought of it now. I should

29:12

practice these things, but no peace. If you, you won't have peace unless you know the peace of Jesus.

29:20

That's the whole point of it, right? But really we, and so when we can hug, we don't kiss. We can if

29:26

you want, but, you know, but when we hug, we hug with a holy hug because we, we are the subjects

29:33

of mercy, truth, righteousness and peace. Amen. All right. We're gonna, we're going off the

29:39

exit ramp here now. So we're on verse 17. Now I urge you brethren, know those who cause divisions

29:47

and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you learned and avoid them for those who are such,

29:56

do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but serve their own belly and by smooth words and flattering

30:04

speech deceive the hearts of the simple. That doesn't mean stupid. It actually means harmless

30:11

and trusting. And so he's saying, be careful, watch out for these people with false doctrine.

30:19

You know, they feed their belly and the whole, we could see what he's saying.

30:23

They're, they, they preach new weird things, right? So that people say, Oh, let me hear what

30:29

he had. I've never heard this before. You know, be careful. If you start to hear a gospel,

30:34

you've never heard before a new idea. I mean, really, I shouldn't have a brand new idea about

30:41

something that's never been thought of before because it's the same Holy spirit, right? If

30:46

I suddenly come out with this cockamamie idea about something, you know, you should start

30:52

being subject of this because the Holy spirit has taught generation after generation of generation

30:58

of students who dug and dug and dug deep into the word of God. And we should at least sound similar

31:07

to them, right? Because it's the same Holy spirit. It's the same word of God. If there's suddenly

31:12

this epiphany that I have, be careful. You know, that's how the Mormon started. That's how Jehovah's

31:18

witnesses started. It's they had this epiphany that someone else spoke to them, you know,

31:24

and he's saying, be careful of these because most of them are in it for what?

31:29

Themselves, their own belly, their own way of life, their own lifestyle, you know,

31:34

so that they could buy the big cars or eat the good food or live in the big houses.

31:38

It's not about Jesus Christ, right? So he's saying, be very careful. Paul says this in another

31:43

place in Philippians 3, 18, 19, for many walk by whom I told you often and now tell you

31:51

weeping that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ whose end is destruction, whose God is

31:59

their belly and whose glory is in their shame. So set who set their mind on earthly things.

32:09

See, they see all this enjoyment of the saints and they're like, how do I tap into this?

32:15

Remember Simon the Sorcerer sees Peter laying hands on people. They're falling out,

32:20

they're receiving the Holy Spirit, they're praying in tongues and Simon's like saying,

32:23

how can I capitalize on this? You know, it's like there's something happening here

32:29

and I want to benefit from it. That's the whole idea. You know, and he's saying, be careful of

32:35

those things. Verse 19, for your obedience has become known to all. Therefore, I am glad

32:44

on your behalf, but I want you to be wise in what is good and again, simple, a different

32:50

version of simple, simple concerning evil. This again doesn't mean stupid, it actually means

32:56

unmixed, uncontaminated, unblended with evil. He's saying, you know, be careful of these things

33:05

because I want you to really be pure, pure Christ, not adulterated with these other

33:12

teachings. I want you to be wise. I love what Jesus said to the 12 disciples as he was sending them out

33:22

in Matthew 10, 16. He says, behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves,

33:29

so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. You know, as believers, we should know the

33:38

tactics of the devil and say, not that we study him, but realize he's trying to

33:45

contaminate my walk or someone else's walk. You know, there's a lot of teachings out there

33:51

that are gradually pulling people away from a walk in the Holy Spirit with Christ, right?

33:58

And so again, he's warning them. And then finally, let's finish up.

34:03

And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

34:12

be with you, amen. Crush Satan under your feet shortly. When Jesus was sending out the 70

34:20

disciples, remember first it was 12, then it was 70 and he would send them out before wherever

34:26

he was about to go. Okay, so they could kind of mess it up a little bit and then he could

34:31

clean it up. No, I'm kidding. You know, he could, they would go out and spread the word so that when

34:35

he came, wow, this is him, right? And so he sent out the 70 and he said this in Luke 10, 19 and 20.

34:46

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions. Think about that.

34:53

You know, there's a lot of analogies to that obviously. These could be symbolic, okay,

35:03

allegorical because in scriptures, they talk about these things really being symbolic of

35:10

evil spirits and Satan. Okay, I have given you authority to tread on them and over all the

35:21

power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you. Do you believe that? Like, are you afraid of Satan?

35:28

I heard a cool quote this morning. I was listening to a message and he said,

35:33

the only time I address Satan is when he's in my scope. I like that anyway, but maybe you don't,

35:40

but he was a hunter. So nevertheless, do not rejoice in this. So even through the fact that

35:50

we are impervious to the devil, if we stay surrounded and empowered by the Holy Spirit,

36:01

you know, and we wear the armor of God, we're impervious to the devil. He cannot have at your

36:06

life. Isn't that amazing? He cannot penetrate God's protection. The angel of the Lord encamps

36:12

himself around those who love him. We have a force field around us that is impervious

36:18

to the devil. Isn't that awesome? But don't even celebrate that. Rejoice in this, that the spirits

36:26

are subject. Don't rejoice in that, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Isn't that

36:32

amazing? You know, yes, it's great to have power down here and we do. We're going to start preaching

36:37

about power, you know, the power that the saint has in this world to bring the gospel,

36:45

that the enemy cannot penetrate you unless it's by God's permission for a specific reason. Remember

36:53

Paul with the thorn in his side that was a messenger from who? Not from God, from Satan,

36:59

but it was designed to make Paul even greater than he already was. If the if the Lord allows

37:06

something in, it's to make you greater. Isn't that amazing? Not you for yourself,

37:11

you greater for Christ to bring glory to God as as the worship team comes up

37:19

and they start to give out the elements.

37:25

I'll just finish this as they're coming forward. Timothy, my fellow worker and Lucius,

37:32

Jason and Sop, Sosipater. There we go.

37:40

My countrymen greet you. I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord. So of

37:48

course Paul, you know, used scribes to write, especially with his eyesight. He needed that,

37:54

but many of them did anyway, probably because they were at what pace or thought and pondered

37:59

what they wanted to write and the scribe was there to capture it. And then from there he says,

38:08

Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greet you. Erastus, the treasure of the city.

38:16

Paul was making some impact. I mean, he was influencing friends and winning enemies, right,

38:21

for the kingdom. He's actually writing on behalf of the treasure of Corinth.

38:27

Can you imagine what a significant position that is in Corinth, which was the crossroads of

38:34

trade between Rome and the Mediterranean? I mean, that was impressive. And yet,

38:40

Paul not only knows him, but he serves with him. He greets you and Quartus, a brother.

38:49

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

38:55

And then finally, now to him who was able to establish you according to my gospel and the

39:04

preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the

39:11

world began, but now made manifest and by the prophetic scriptures made known to all the nations

39:20

according to the commandment of the everlasting God for obedience to the faith to God alone,

39:28

wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen. Paul certainly has a way to end the letter,

39:36

doesn't he? I think he has the longest run on sentences ever, but it's powerful. You know,

39:43

Paul grasped what he was given and he grasped the, the magnificent connections he was making

39:53

for longevity, for eternity. I mean, just imagine, you know, the impact he was making

40:01

and yet he realized it's not about me. It's about Jesus Christ.

40:10
