Sermon - Church (and World) Peace - Romans 15:1-13

Sermon Series: Romans – Heaven SentTitle: Church (and World) PeacePassage: Romans 15:1–13Preacher: Robin VonkDate & Time: Sunday 16 November 2025, 6 pmWhat hope is there for true peace—in the church and in the world? In Romans 15:1–13, Paul shows that unity among God’s people is not built on shared preferences or similar backgrounds, but on the saving work of Christ. Jesus bore our weaknesses, welcomed us into God’s family, and fulfilled God’s promises so that Jew and Gentile together might glorify God with one voice. The gospel is the foundation of peace: through the cross, Christ reconciled us to God and to one another, breaking down every dividing wall. In this sermon, Robin Vonk unpacks how the hope of Jesus fills His people with endurance, encouragement, and joy so that we might overflow with peace—not only in the church, but as a witness to the watching world.
