Real Names (Romans 16:1-16)

Why does Paul conclude Romans with a list of names? In Romans 16:1–16, Pastor Zach Carter shows how these greetings reveal that God works in real history, saves real individuals, and brings them into one family. The names offer a window into Christianity’s historical credibility and a deeply personal comfort: Jesus knows his sheep by name. For anxious believers, this is an invitation to rest in Christ’s tender care. For those who feel disconnected, it is a call to embrace the family that comes with salvation—knowing others, bearing their burdens, and allowing ourselves to be known. 0:07 Paul’s Final Roll Call 3:51 Names in History 6:50 God Knows Individuals 10:19 A Gospel Home 16:11 Christianity in History 18:49 Known by Name 22:17 Jesus Calls His Sheep 29:10 One Family in Christ 33:31 Known in Community 35:13 Names and Salvation Join us this Sunday for biblical preaching, holy worship, and a church family that seeks to live out the gospel together.
