New People, New Family, New Mission

This week, RD teaches on Romans 16:1-16. In these verses, Paul lists out 28 names of people active in the church of Rome and who were living out the mission of Jesus. This group of people were all from different classes and economic statuses, they were different genders, and different races and ethnicities. However, Paul uses this to show that there is not a specific type of person that can become a Christian - it is open for everyone. Through Christ, they were given new life and became new people, they were given a new family in the church, and a new mission for their lives.
