A Servant's Journey: Paul's Commitment to God's Will

Nov 24, 2024    Michael Ryan Stotler

Welcome to this week's message, "A Servant's Journey: Paul's Commitment to God's Will." In this sermon, we explore Romans 15:23–33, where the Apostle Paul shares his heartfelt desire to visit Rome, yet prioritizes serving others—even at great personal cost. Paul’s journey shows us the value of Kingdom over comfort, the cost of serving others, the power of prayer, and the joy found in aligning our lives with God’s will.

Key Takeaways:

A Servant’s Priority: Paul placed Kingdom work over personal comfort, reminding us to prioritize God's mission in our own lives.

The Cost of Service: Paul’s journey to Jerusalem was challenging, yet he saw it as a privilege and act of unity for the body of Christ.

Prayer and Partnership: Even when we cannot join someone physically, we can support God’s mission through prayer.

Enduring with Joy: Despite trials, Paul found joy by staying aligned with God's will—a joy available to us when we live as servants of Christ.

Next Steps:

Embrace a servant’s heart and ask where God is calling you to serve.

Reflect on how you can generously give of your time, talents, and resources.

Commit to praying for others, joining in God’s work through faith.

Trust in God’s plans, knowing His will brings peace and fulfillment.

Join us as we learn from Paul’s example and consider what it means to live as true servants of Christ.
