A Life That Is Truly Rich | Romans 16 | Mike Batley

What does a truly rich life look like? As we reach the final chapter of Romans, Paul ends one of the most theologically significant letters in Scripture in a surprisingly personal way—with names. Friends, coworkers, servants, hosts, fellow prisoners, husbands, wives, and people who had faithfully served alongside him. In this message, Mike Batley explores Romans 16 through three pictures of the Christian life: a rich life, a unified life, and an anchored life. Together we'll explore: • Why true riches are found in relationships, service, and spiritual friendship • What Paul's personal greetings reveal about how the early church grew • Why unity among followers of Jesus is such a powerful witness to the world • How wisdom and Scripture help protect the church from division • What it means to live anchored in God's power rather than our own • Why the gospel advances through real people and real relationships After fifteen chapters of profound theology, Romans ends by reminding us that following Jesus was never meant to be an isolated experience. We sharpen, encourage, pray for, serve, and build one another up. As Church One prepares for a new season in a new building, Romans 16 also gives us an important reminder: *the building isn't the finish line. It's a starting line.* It's a resource to help us build relationships, love our neighbors, serve others, deepen spiritual friendships, and carry the gospel wherever we go.
