Co-Workers, Servants, and Friends (Romans 16:1-16)

In this pastoral message from “Co-Workers, Servants, and Friends – Romans 16:1–16”, Pastor Jim Schultz walks us through the often-overlooked closing chapter of the book of Romans. What may seem like a simple list of names becomes a beautiful portrait of Christian love, unity, and faithful service.From Phoebe’s generous support and servant leadership, to the courageous partnership of Prisca and Aquila, we see that every believer has a meaningful role in God’s kingdom. Pastor Jim reminds us that what matters most is not how we serve, but that we serve—working hard in the Lord with sincere love for one another.This sermon encourages us to embrace our place in the body of Christ, celebrate the diversity of the church, and cultivate deep, gospel-shaped friendships. As we near the end of Romans, may we be inspired to live as faithful co-workers, humble servants, and beloved friends for the glory of Christ.
