Introduction (Review): Trusted Team, Reliable Witness, and a Missing Verse
God is Able to Strengthen Us
Believers are empowered by God to flourish in life and ministry (16:25).
• We are strengthened by the provisions of the gospel (25a).
• The central message of the gospel is about Jesus Christ (25b).
God has Revealed His Plan for the Gentiles
God previewed in the Old Testament
and has now revealed in the New Testament
the message of justification by faith for all people (16:26).
• The Old Testament revealed God's eternal plan (26a).
• God's plan has always been salvation by grace through faith (26b).
God is Worthy of Our Praise Forever
The wisdom of God's plan compels us to praise Him forever (16:27).
Now to him who is able
to establish you in accordance with my gospel,
the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ,
in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past,
but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings
by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles
might come to the obedience that comes from faith -
to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ!
Amen.
(Romans 16:25-27)
Next Steps

Fellowship is making the process easier. Check out fellowshipconway.org/serve to see current and ongoing service opportunities. Look for a good fit and try out what interests you.

Adults, college students, and high schoolers if you have a passion for Jesus and want to share that passion with the children of Fellowship, we have some great opportunties for you! Every Sunday is an opportunity to hang out with the kids as they worship, learn, and discuss what it means to have a relationship in Jesus and how we all grow in that relationship. We have about 20 open opportunities. Email Heather Fulmer for more information - hfulmer@fellowshipconway.org
