Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Dive deeper into the Book of Romans with this Bible study on Romans 16:1-20 – “The Joy of Fellowship and the Threat of Division.” Pastor Robert explores Paul's heartfelt greetings to the early church members and his urgent warning against divisive persons, reminding us that true Christian fellowship is built on love, service, and sound doctrine.

In this sermon, discover how Paul commends faithful servants like Phoebe (a deaconess and helper of many), Priscilla and Aquila (who risked their lives for the Gospel and hosted a house church), and others who labored quietly in Christ. Learn about the beauty of Christian unity as described in Psalm 133:1 – “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” – contrasted with the danger of division sown by those who serve their own interests with smooth words and flattery (Romans 16:17-18).

Key Themes:
1. The value of faithful, often unnamed believers who advance God's kingdom through service and sacrifice.

2. The fragility of church fellowship and the need to protect it with discernment and truth.

3. Warnings against false teachers and divisive people, echoing verses like Titus 3:10, Acts 20:29-31, and Matthew 7:15.

4. God's ultimate victory: “The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly” (Romans 16:20), fulfilling Genesis 3:15.

Whether you're studying Romans chapter by chapter, seeking encouragement on church unity, avoiding division in the body of Christ, or growing in biblical discernment, this message will inspire you to cherish healthy fellowship while staying wise against threats.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
