Compelled Stewardship | Mike Castelli | The Power of God | Romans 15:22-33

As Paul wraps-up his words to Rome, he reminds them that it is his full intention to visit as he makes his way to Spain where the Gospel was still unknown. Yet first he must head to Jerusalem to convey an entrusted gift of money given to help the saints who were in poverty there.  The Gentile churches, especially in the areas of Achaia & Macedonia (generally modern-day Greece/Macedonia) were better-off financially than the saints in Jerusalem.  And in truth, they were indebted to them, as they received the message of eternal life in Jesus from those sent by Him from Jerusalem.  Does the joy of salvation drive you to share with others, even those from whom you have benefited in Jesus?  And most especially, those who have much less, by way of material blessings? Our gratitude debt to Jesus should compel us in giving as it overflows in a debt to others. This Week’s Bulletinhttps://thechapelingreen.cdn.prismic.io/thechapelingreen/aaBl6MFoBIGEg3lB_03.01.26Rm1522-33CompelledStewardshipOutline-1-.pdf
