24 – Paul’s Final Words in Romans: Unity, Service and Standing Firm in Truth | Epistles of Paul

In Romans 16, Paul closes his letter with more than just greetings. This final chapter reveals the heart of the early Church through faithful servants like Phoebe, devoted brethren across Rome, and a powerful closing warning to stay united and grounded in the truth. In this final session of the Epistles of Paul class focusing on the book of Romans, we look at how Paul offers a unique and personal glimpse into the early Church through a long list of greetings and commendations. From Phoebe’s remarkable service to the faithful labor of many believers, Romans 16 reveals the character, unity, and diversity of first-century Christians. Paul also gives a final warning against division and emphasizes staying grounded in truth. As the letter closes, he points all glory to God and highlights obedience to the faith. This concluding lecture brings together the themes of Romans and provides meaningful insight into relationships, service, and spiritual vigilance in God’s Church. ======= Recorded: February 12, 2026 Instructor: Steve Myers The Epistles of Paul class is taught at the Ambassador Bible College sponsored by the United Church of God.
