So let's all stand as we come to this section of the book of Romans chapter 15,

verses 30 to 33, and not much, but powerful.

Not much in length, but powerful in what is said.

And the title of today's message is, will you please come with me?

That's the bottom line of the apostle.

When you read this, this is what he's saying. He's saying, will you come with me. That's the bottom line of the apostle. When you read this, this is what he's saying.

He's saying, will you come with me? He's inviting us. He's inviting those who read this document

back then. And for 2,000 years, all of us as believers have been invited to the exact same

mission. I love this.

We don't have to make it up.

Every generation of believers, we don't have to get a new organizational chart.

We don't have to get a new purpose for what we've been called to do.

Jesus said, go ye therefore into all the world and preach this gospel

and do what church? And make disciples of all nations. And that's what we're living to do. And that's what

the true church has been doing for the last 2,000 years. And so this is very, very precious stuff because verse 33 puts an end to the doctrines

of the book of Romans.

Chapter 16, honestly, when we get to chapter 16, I think maybe two weeks, two weekends

will be through it because it's all basic say hi to Phoebe,

say hi to Andronicus, say hi true, say hi to trophemus for me. He's just, Paul is just saying

bye bye but we're not there yet. We're here. And this is, I think, better.

Verse 30. Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the spirit,

that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me.
