From the Pulpit...

Paul closes his great letter to the Romans with a commendation for Phoebe, greetings to a large number of Christians in the church, a warning to avoid those who are divisive, greetings from some of Paul's co-workers, and a benediction directed toward God. We read in the passage of a number of choice servants of God who are described with phrases like "firstfruits to Christ," those who "worked hard" in the Lord, and "approved in Christ." We can learn a lot from a passage that doesn't seem to yield much on first read. Listen to find out more!
